Ebook: Mahabharata in polyester: the making of the world's richest brothers and their feud

Dhirubhai Ambani was a rags-to-riches Indian tycoon whose company Reliance is now one of India's major corporations. Ambani's sons Anil and Mukesh, who took over after their father's death in 2002, are worth 43 billion and 42 billion respectively, but their relationship is anything but amiable. Demonstrating the complicated links between government and big business, this account is not only the riveting story of one of the wealthiest families in the world--including their infamous feud--but also an illustration of India's transformation into a global economic powerhouse.;Cover; Copyright; Contents; Acknowledgments; Glossary; Protean capitalist; A persuasive young bania; Lessons from the souk; Catching live serpents; A first-class fountain; Guru of the equity cult; Friends in the right places; The great polyester war; The paper tiger; Sleuths; Letting loose a scorpion; Business as usual; Murder medley; A political deluge; Under the reforms; Housekeeping secrets; Dhirubhai's dream; The polyester princes; Corporate Kurukshetra; Mother India; The Ambanis apart; Goodbye, Gandhi; Notes; Index.
