Out of India
By admin • Jun 1st, 2010The global automotive industry can be an unforgiving place, even for established
players. But two new Indian entrants are taking their chances.
The emergence of India onto the global automotive scene may best be personified by two outstanding entrepreneurs. They are Ratan Naval Tata, Chairman of Tata Motors, the man behind the acquisition of Jaguar-Land Rover from Ford Motor Company, and Vijay Mallya, head of UB Group, who has spearheaded a new Formula One team called Force India. They are both remarkable men, with a strong bond to cars – and the car business.
Both men touch different aspects of cars. Ratan Tata is a tycoon running a massive industrial conglomerate and
car manufacturing business, while Vijay Mallya is a sports-loving business magnate who lives the dream of Formula One and collects classic cars.
