Profile
Motorcycle magnate moves into top 20 on soaring sales at Eicher Motors, maker of the retro Royal Enfield motorbikes. The company sold more than 300,000 bikes in 2014, overtaking Harley-Davidson in number of bikes sold globally. Son Siddhartha, who has been running the company since 2000, is aiming to make Enfield a global brand in the midsize segment. In May he acquired British design firm Harris Performance Products. In June Eicher launched India's first personal utility vehicle, made in a joint venture with U.S.-based Polaris Industries.
