There’s a line from a poem that can be loosely translated as, “I am successful. But I also want to be successful at looking like I am successful.” For this successful businessman from Gujarat, sky is the limit. There was a time when he would be seen in the durbars of Sharad Pawar, Prafful Patel, Kamal Nath, and Jayanthi Natarajan. Times have changed, however. Now the big politicians are coming to him. At the pinnacle of success, this businessman now wants to try his hand in all sectors, and has recently made a foray into the defence sector. To encourage defence business, he recently shook hands with a blacklisted Italian company. This is the same company whose name appeared in the AgustaWestland scandal. After the association with the industrialist, however, Finnemecanica’s name has been hurriedly removed from the blacklist.
