Dhirubhai Ambani

idea posted by amit chaudhry Senior Consultant, IML

Introduced the equity cult to thousands of ordinary Indians. Fanning out to tap rural stock exchanges, he taught people who would never have thought of investing in shares how to buy them, to track the price movements of scrips, to deal with stock brokers, and to develop the habit of reading financial dailies and stock market newsletters.

In the 1980s, an overwhelming majority of Reliance shareholders held less than 100 shares, and one in four Indian investors owned shares in Reliance. Dhirubhai single-handedly energised the Indian capital market. It can be justifiably argued that Ambani paved the way for the financial revolution currently sweeping through India.

G D Birla

idea posted by Jitena Kumar Rawat Senior Consultant, GKC

Smashed Scottish jute monopoly by building Birla Jute.

Built the Birla group into India's second largest business dynasty after the Tatas. When he started his business career, the Birlas were worth Rs 20 lakhs in 1914. By the time GD died in 1983, the aggregate assets of the group's 200 odd companies had crossed Rs 2,500 crores, sales were over Rs 3,000 crores. Amazing growth -- faster than Reliance.

L N Mittal

idea posted by Jagbir Singh Senior Consultant, Ernst & Young

The first large Indian multinational -- that too in steel. Presence in nine countries.

In less than a decade, Lakshmi Mittal built Ispat International from a wire rod manufacturer in Indonesia to the fourth largest steel producer in the world, largely through a series of strategic acquisitions.
