Just The Correct Paces
He’s still young, isn’t he? But he’s learning the ropes—the tropes of top biz behaviour. The serious business of managing the uncountable millions can come later. An indulgent Mukesh Ambani greets son Akash at Reliance’s AGM in Mumbai recently.
Designs On Mumbai
To transform a city district like Mumbai’s Lower Parel into an innovation/design hub is no mean goal, but Radha, daughter of Yes Bank’s Rana Kapoor, dreams big. The founder of a design school has stakes in the kabbadi and hockey leagues.
