A new generation of Indians are now at the helm taking businesses to soaring heights.
For a generation that has only seen the world get smaller (thanks to the internet and the rise of interconnected economies), aspirations for their companies aren’t limited to India. As we firmly march forward in the 21st century, the country is seeing homegrown business houses become more integrated with the world. Being better travelled and having a sense of purpose has pushed the current wave of businessmen and businesswomen to transcend borders.
FOOD
Those familiar with The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts will know of Le Cirque and Megu. They are internationally renowned fine dining restaurants brought to India by Aishwarya Nair Mathew, heiress of The Leela Group who played a prominent role in this endeavour. She believes that “luxury in India is in a fantastic space right now. There are so many diverse international brands being represented in India, which makes for a plethora of options for the individual consumer”. And vice versa, The Leela has gone on to represent India overseas. Jamavar, its Indian restaurant chain first opened at The Leela Palace Bengaluru in 2001, before rapidly spreading to other properties in the brand’s portfolio across the country. It is now open in London’s Tony Mayfair, as a standalone restaurant.
Another similar accomplishment is Farzi Café. It is originally from New Delhi and its branch in Dubai has become a favourite of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It will soon open in the English capital as well. Also replicating its New Delhi success overseas is Indian Accent in London and New York City. It is the only Indian name in the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.
