Sanjay Lalbhai : Industrialist

The hallmark of Lalbhai’s vision has been an obsession with ‘first moveradvantage’: the ability to anticipate business opportunities, rather than wait fortrends to coalesce. Today, while most Indian companies take their first faltering globalsteps, Lalbhai is talking of a second round of globalisation: "Buy global brandsoverseas and start manufacturing plants in the most cost-effective countries to servedifferent markets." His target: to be among the world’s top three denimproducers by the turn of the century.
