INDIA’S RICHEST BUSINESS MAN LIVES SIMPLY
The richest business man in India, says the “Magazine Digest”, is Seth Dalmia, of New Delhi. He has more than 100,000 employees. He owns banks, insurance companies, sugar factories, cotton mills, airlines, coal mines, and 50 on, even a railway.
Also, he owns ten newspapers and magazines, including even the famous “Times of India”, which is 110 years old. He is an earnest, hard-working man who lives simply and buys no luxuries. He is self-educated. His library contains thousands of books. His amazing career started only 15 years ago. He made his first money by a speculation in silver. Then he bought the abandoned In-dia-Burma pipeline, with its 2,000 miles of steel pipe. He is devoutly religious and uses his newspapers and magazines to promote world peace. One would call him “the Henry Ford of India.” Like Ford, he believes in personal management. He has no charts of organisation. He sees no use in paper-work.
