Architects of Modern India
At a time when Indian people were just beginning to fight the British stranglehold over their economy, there were men of vision and foresight who built structures that last even today – steel plants, cotton mills and institutions that produce India’s top scientists and engineers. During the Indian freedom struggle Ghanshyam Das Birla decided to raise an Indian industry to rival and threaten the British mills. Jamsetji Tata laid the foundation for India’s textile and steel industry. When the British did not allow Indians into five-star hotels, he built his own, more magnificent than all of theirs, the Taj in Mumbai. Half-French and in love with flying, Jamsetji’s nephew J.R.D. Tata nevertheless had his feet planted firmly in Indian soil. He took an already large business and expanded it in new directions – trucks, tea and India’s first airline. Collection of the following titles: Jamsetji Tata, G.D. Birla, J.R.D. Tata
Ardeshir and Pirojsha Godrej
“125 years ago, Ardeshir Godrej, a young man of 29 years, set up a small factory in Lalbaug in Bombay to make locks – the first of its kind in India. This was the humble origin of what today has become a trusted household name—‘Godrej’.
Ardeshir Burjorji Godrej dealt with personal tragedy and many disappointments before finding his true calling – making complex mechanisms for locks. As an inventor, who was infuriated by India’s impoverishment at the hands of the British, the call to action of the Swadeshi Movement resonated deeply with him. Pirojsha expanded the business further, while being careful of quality, customer satisfaction and worker’s welfare. The story of the Godrej family, which started with Ardeshir and Pirojsha, is a tale of courage, innovation and entrepreneurship.”
