Business In India

Born in a middle-class trading family, Kishore Biyani started his career selling stonewashed fabric to small shops in Mumbai. Years later, with the launch of Pantaloons, Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, Central and many more retail formats, he redefined the retailing business in India.

Who are made-in-India managers? What do they do differently? Over the last 50 years, several Indians have occupied top positions in multinationals across the globe. There are, today, innumerable instances of CEOs born and bred in India, helming S&P's 500 companies. In The Made-in-India Manager, two stalwarts of Indian business and academics examine this little-studied phenomenon and present a compelling argument: that a unique combination of factors has led Indian management to become a 'soft power' with the potential to decisively impact global managers of tomorrow.
