This study of thirteen of India's leading industrial families pays particular attention to the key decisions, cultural traditions, and personality issues that have contributed to their success. Based on interviews with scholars, journalists, government officials, and the business leaders themselves, the book covers each family business from its founding through its expansion into a large-scale, international enterprise. Photographs of family members and company work sites, charts and maps, and bibliographic entries enhance the text.


Gita Piramal holds a Ph.D. in Indian industrial entrepreneurship. Margaret Laniak Herdeck has extensive experience as an advisor to U.S. companies investing in India, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Far East.
