Guru -a Bollywood hit movie based on the life on Ambani senior (a Gujarati like Mahatma Gandhi) who went aborad for a long time and then came back to start a mass movement - with a twist. Ambani started his business 30 years ago with $1,000 (one thousand only?). His sons went to Wharton MBA and Stanford MBA. The younger one (who married a sexy movie star - or then sexy) seems more flamboyant. Sine their focus in local their flavor is local unlike IT companies who are global players with global multi-cultural work environments. I wonder what Mukul-da (an entrepreneur who favors planned economy) has to say. Umesh
