  • Indian Entrepreneurship
    EMERGING MARKETS Indian entrepreneurship --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kamini Banga interviews two sisters, executives in the $2.6 bn Godrej family business, to explore what the truths and myths are behind the cult of the Indian entrepreneur, their role in India’s dynamic growth, and what the rest of us can learn from this creed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Kamini Banga ADMAP June 2011 he driving force behind the booming Indian economy is the cult of the business entrepreneur who not only owns the business but is the face of the business. There are Texamples in the West, such as Richard Branson and Steve Jobs, but entrepreneurs in India seem to enjoy even greater hero status and preside over much more diversified conglomerates. Ratan Tata, for example, chairs a $70 bn family business that takes in cars, steel, chemicals, hotels, beverages and telecoms. But just how important is the role of the Indian entrepreneur in India’s economic ascent, and what lessons are there for other markets? I put these questions to two sisters Nisa Godrej and Tanya Dubash, who are executives in the Godrej family business. Founded in 1897 by Ardeshir Godrej, the business today is a $2.6 bn conglomerate with interests in sectors including real estate, FMCG, industrial engineering, appliances, furniture, security and agricare. KB: How have entrepreneurship and the role of entrepreneurs in India evolved? Over the past three decades, entrepreneurs have gone from being ‘rebels’ to becoming ‘mainstream heroes’ in the eyes of the Indian public. India has always had an entrepreneurial culture; the success of our diaspora as industrialists and small business owners in locations as varied as Uganda, Dubai and California speaks to that truth.
