Profile

Shares of the patriarch's $1 billion (revenues) cement maker Shree Cement soared in anticipation of an infrastructure build-out by the new government. Shree is adding capacity: It opened two new cement powder units in Bihar and Rajasthan, and has one more coming up in Uttar Pradesh. A new $300-million cement plant is also being built in Chhattisgarh.
Fast Fact: Son Hari Mohan, who has been running the company since 1990, takes the Common Admission Test (CAT) every year. Says he will remain in the business only as long as he scores above 90 percent.
