RISE OF A PHOENIX

Let us accept the truth that Mr Anil Ambani is one who is a victim of an adverse business environment, where a range of external factors from stiff competition to betting on the wrong technology to an economic slowdown had gone against him. Life certainly has not been kind to him. Imagine once the sixth richest person in the world, with a wealth of USD 42 billion has recently given a testimony in a British court that his net worth was zero. However, he is not someone who squandered away his wealth or flew away in his private jet to a foreign country. There is fall from the grace for his group in last twelve years, nevertheless, the position is getting better and is much better than year ago. This is in spite of the continuous bashing by a fifth-generation politician. The recent developments initiated by Anil Ambani’s new lieutenants, not to exclude his sons, indicate a change for good. These are considered to be rational decisions. We believe that there will be consolidation in the group. Some of the companies not doing well are likely to meet RCom’s fate while others will lead the revival of the group.

The emergence of new centers of infection outside of China is fueling concern that the outbreak could become a global pandemic, rattling financial markets. Nevertheless, it presents an opportunity to India. The current software industry in India is also a product of similar opportunity presented in year 1998 due to Y2K problem.
