Description
There is a tiger economy within Britain, a wealth- creating economy of fast and accelerating growth. The business tycoons - The UK Maharajahs - who are at the cutting edge of that economy are not often household names, though the goods and services they produce are.
Who are the South Asian entrepreneurs - often shadowy and private people - who control vast wealth and who will have a major influence on the UK into the next millennium? Why has this community produced so many millionaires and billionaires? Where did they come from? Where are they spending their money - and on what? And what are their plans for the future?
The author knows Asian entrepreneurship from the inside and at first hand and is involved at several levels in funding and support initiatives for South Asian entrepreneurs. In this book he goes behind the scenes to show the real personalities and their authentic background. In many hours of in-depth interviews with successful entrepreneurs he sheds fascinating light on how and why they have succeeded, often against the odds, and has gathered insights on family background, business philosophy, recreational interests, humanitarian and social welfare work and much more.
