PAIN, GRIT, GLORY.
Challenges bring out the best in warriors. They turn every crisis into an opportunity. Indian corporate history is replete with such instances. Many of our corporate heroes have overcome challenges, made tough choices and reached the pinnacle of glory through sheer perseverance.
In the following pages, we showcase eleven such tales of grit, determination and glory. These corporate poster boys (and girls) come from diverse portfolios – from biopharma to auto, healthcare to IT. Many such industries are at the forefront of India’s quantum jump to the next phase of economic growth. The promoters / CEOs / MDs showcased here prove that nothing is impossible to achieve, if they get a sound enabling environment. These corporate chronicles of pain and victory inspire an India at the cusp of next economic leap.
