Mukesh Ambani (1)
Legend has it that Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man likes his dosas from only one place — the Mysore Café, a small little place in Matunga, Mumbai’s Tamil heartland. As for the owners of the café, they talk of him in tones priests reserve for patron saints. Understandable! After all, he is their most celebrated customer. Ambani has a soft corner for wildlife as well. So much so that a couple of years ago, he commissioned a huge two volume encyclopedia on Indian wildlife. It went out to academics, researchers, wildlife enthusiasts and people in the media. He is also building what is perhaps the world’s most expensive home at $1.2 billion complete with a movie theatre to watch the Bollywood flicks he loves so much.
