Well, Sorry to butt in here. Tatas, Biralas , Ambanis(relatively new), Bajajs, these are the Indian Bussiness houses which are worth saluting, specially the pioneers of these houses . Laxmi Mittal, we should admire him for what he is now. But my admiration for him slowly faded away after his daughter's extravagant marriage ceremony which took place in one of the palaces of Paris. The money spent on this senseless spectacle might have saved the lives of millions, but this man of Indian Origin chose to flaunt his wealth in that blatant manner..Not only this , several of his actions gives the impression that he still has that one of the typical working class Indian Mentality . These people are not just an entrepreneurs but they are the social entrepreneurs as well.They could easily set an example in the society,act as a change agents of the society in order to improve systems, but here he set a totally different example for his Fellow Indians who are already living in the society effected by dowry and other stuffs. Of course he can easily justify the wedding and the amount spent on it like Clinton in his memoirs by saying ,' I DID IT JUST BECAUSE I COULD' Shame on such Entrepreneurs!
