Fantastic commentary. Just ordered the book India Unbound. Totally love the material that you folks put out. Needless to say that your work is at par with those of paid India focussed newsletters like the KEN and The Morning Context. Look forward to more content.

Superb research. Dig a little more and you'll find mukesh was willing to kill wadia... the entire 4g spectrum was procured for pittance compared to idea/voda/airtel... I won't be surprised to see only 1 bidder in the 5G auction... That's the secret of Reliance, create monopolies using governments.

So Dhirubhai started with a capital of 100,000 Rs around 1958. Isn't that a lot of money when you bring it today's terms counting inflation? Geniunely wanted to understand as usually the narrative is that he had humble origins.
