Founder of London-listed Indus Gas, in which he owns nearly two-thirds stake, Ajay Kalsi is a tad poorer this year as shares lost 10% despite a dramatic increase in its hydrocarbon reserves in western India. A recent proposal to revise domestic gas prices by the Indian government didn't boost shares either as investors remained concerned over company's ability to service its loans. Cambridge & LSE grad, he hails from a family of shoemakers and still holds a minority stake in Reebok's Indian arm.
