Stop treating Ambani and Adani as villains. India needs strong homegrown businesses

India needs strong homegrown businesses to become a wealthy and powerful nation, argues entrepreneur and author Jaithirth Jerry Rao. Drawing on Mahatma Gandhi’s ties with industrialists such as G.D. Birla and Jamnalal Bajaj, Rao says India has a long history of vilifying its business leaders. From Reliance’s global refining ambitions to Adani’s strategic port investments in Israel and Australia, he argues that conglomerates should be nurtured as national assets, not treated as villains. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exclusive content, special privileges & more – Subscribe to ThePrint for Special benefits: https://tinyurl.com/4ymm9wh5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with ThePrint » Subscribe to ThePrint: https://tinyurl.com/4ymm9wh5 » Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3nCMpht » Like us on Facebook:   / theprintindia   » Tweet us on Twitter:   / theprintindia   » Follow us on Instagram:   / theprintindia   » Find us on LinkedIn :   / theprint   » Subscribe to ThePrint on Telegram: https://t.me/ThePrintIndia » Find us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2NMVlnB » Find us on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pEOta8
