In this issue

INDIA, AS A SHINING STAR in the global economy, has witnessed the rise
of million-dollar, sustainable, and large-scale businesses. From far-sighted
pioneers like Sanjeev Bhikchandani and Dr A. Velumani to contemporary
titans like Binny Bansal and Mithun Sacheti, the journey of wealth creation
has been diverse and dynamic. These entrepreneurs share a common goal:
to forge unmatched, revenue-generating, and fundamentally sustainable
Indian enterprises. As we traverse the timeline of Indian businesses
and entrepreneurial leadership, it becomes clear that the strategies and
approaches to business have evolved significantly, leaving us to ponder the
future course for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
In the last three years alone, wealth creation in India has been nothing
short of spectacular. The mavericks of the business world have not only
built thriving enterprises but have also set the stage for newer, bolder exits,
be it through cash deals, as we saw recently with CaratLane, founded by
Mithun Sacheti, or initial public offerings (IPOs). This evolving narrative
presents a compelling blueprint, poised to transform India into a nation
of entrepreneurs. As we look ahead, the future of India’s entrepreneurial
landscape is set to be an exhilarating voyage, fuelled by innovation, vision,
and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

We hope the issue has some interesting takeaways for our readers.
