      • http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/5a34bfc2-814a-11e5-a01c-8650859a4767.html Next month, Mr Ambani’s Reliance Industries conglomerate will launch Reliance Jio, a telecoms data business. For lesser tycoons this $16bn investment might be considered potentially ruinous. For Mr Ambani, whose fortune weighs in at $21bn, it is merely a very expensive gamble.
      •  https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3084234/akash-ambani-collecting-supercars-wooing-mark The Reliance Industries heir has been hailed for convincing Facebook to invest US$5.7 billion in Jio Platforms – and is an avid sports fan who owns Sunil Gavaskar’s 1983 Cricket World Cup-winning bat and an ‘Invincibles’ Arsenal football shirt

       - A few years ago, investors hoped Mr Ambani would narrow his gaze, building on Reliance’s strengths in refining and petrochemicals to create an energy major to rival Shell or BP. Doing so might allow him to shed the conglomerate discount assumed to be built into Reliance’s stock price. Instead, the billionaire became ever more expansive. As well as telecoms, Reliance is now pushing into retail while also dabbling in media.

                The Imperial Bank of India (IBI) was the oldest and the largest commercial bank of the Indian subcontinent, and was subsequently transformed into the State Bank of Indiain 1955. Initially, as per its royal charter, it acted as the central bank for British India prior to the formation of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935. The Imperial Bank of India came into existence on 27 January 1921 through the reorganisation and amalgamation of the three Presidency Banks of colonial India into a single banking entity, spearheaded by John Maynard Keynes. The Presidency Banks were the Bank of Bengal, established on 2 June 1806, the Bank of Bombay(incorporated on 15 April 1840), and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). The Imperial Bank was 80% privately owned while the rest were owned by the state.The Imperial Bank of India performed all the normal functions which a commercial bank was expected to perform. In the absence of any central banking institution in India until 1935, the Imperial Bank of India also performed a number of functions which are normally carried out by a central bank.
                State Bank of India (SBI) is an Indian multinational, public sector banking and financial services company. It is a government-owned corporation headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra
                • The roots of the State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century, when the Bank of Calcutta later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras(incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies and were the result of royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper currency till 1861 when, with the Paper Currency Act, the right was taken over by the Government of India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the re-organised banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint stock company but without Government participation. Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955 (http://legislative.gov.in/sites/default/files/A1955-23.pdf), the Reserve Bank of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India. On 1 July 1955, the imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. In 2008, the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in SBI so as to remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking regulatory authority. In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act. This made SBI subsidiaries of eight that had belonged to princely states prior to their nationalization and operational takeover between September 1959 and October 1960, which made eight state banks associates of SBI. This une with the first Five Year Plan, which prioritised the development of rural India. The government integrated these banks into the State Bank of India system to expand its rural outreach. In 1963 SBI merged State Bank of Jaipur (est. 1943) and State Bank of Bikaner (est.1944).

Within four years of its coming into existence, OBC had to face Partition. The bank had to close down its branches in the newly formed Pakistan and shift its registered office from Lahore to Amritsar. Lala Karam Chand Thapar, the then Chairman of the Bank, in a unique gesture honoured the commitments made to the depositors from Pakistan and paid every rupee to its departing customers.[citation neededThe Bank has witnessed many ups and downs since its establishment. The period of 1970-76 is said to be the most challenging phase in the history of the Bank.[citation needed] At one time profit plummeted to 175, that prompted the owner of the bank, the Thapar House, to sell / close the bank. Then employees and leaders of the Bank came forward to rescue the Bank. The owners were moved and had to change their decision of selling the bank and in turn they decided to improve the position of the bank with the active cooperation and support of all the employees. Their efforts bore fruits and performance of the bank improved significantly. This was the turning point in the history of the bank.[citation neededThe bank was nationalised on 15 April 1980. At that time OBC ranked 19th among the 20 nationalised banks.[citation neededIn 1997, OBC acquired two banks: Bari Doab Bank and Punjab Cooperative Bank. The acquisition of these two banks brought with it no additional branches. The bank has progressed on several fronts, crossing the Business Mix mark of 2 lac crores as on 31 March 2010 making it the seventh largest Public Sector Bank in India.[citation neededOn 14 August 2004, OBC amalgamated Global Trust Bank (GTB). GTB was a leading private sector bank in India that was associated with various financial discrepancies leading to a moratorium being imposed by RBI shortly before it merged into OBC.

                The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is an Indian stock exchange located at Dalal Street, Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Established in 1875, the BSE (formerly known as Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd.)[4] is Asia’s first stock exchange.
                • Bombay Stock Exchange was founded by Premchand Roychand. He was one of the most influential businessmen in 19th-century Bombay. A man who made a fortune in the stockbroking business and came to be known as the Cotton King, the Bullion King or just the Big Bull. He was also the founder of the Native Share and Stock Brokers Association, an institution that is now known as the BSE. While BSE Ltd is now synonymous with Dalal Street, it was not always so. The first venue of the earliest stock broker meetings in the 1850s was in rather natural environs - under banyan trees - in front of the Town Hall, where Horniman Circle is now situated. A decade later, the brokers moved their venue to another set of foliage, this time under banyan trees at the junction of Meadows Street and what is now called Mahatma Gandhi Road. As the number of brokers increased, they had to shift from place to place, but they always overflowed to the streets. At last, in 1874, the brokers found a permanent place, and one that they could, quite literally, call their own. The new place was, aptly, called Dalal Street (Brokers' Street).

He spotted a gap in a growing market: cooling rooms. Air-conditioners, which work by compressing gas, like refrigerators, are costly to buy and run. Air-coolers, which work on simple evaporation, are cheaper—but the models on sale in India tended to be clunky, noisy appliances, made to order in simple workshops. Mr Bakeri designed an elegant, quiet, mass-produced alternative. Success came quickly, particularly after an audacious bet—a full-page advertisement in the Times of India, costing more than the then value of the firm’s inventory—paid off.

                Maruti Suzuki India Limited, formerly known as Maruti Udyog Limited

                •  "Surya Ram Maruti Technical Services Private Ltd" (MTSPL), a private company, was launched in 1970, to provide technical know-how for the design, manufacture and assembly of "a wholly indigenous motor car". Under the Companies Act, Maruti Limited was incorporated in June 1971. Maruti Limited went into liquidation in 1977. Further, Maruti Udyog Ltd was incorporated through the efforts of Dr. V. Krishnamurthy.
                • In 1982, a license and joint venture agreement (JVA) was signed between Maruti Udyog Ltd, and Suzuki of Japan. At first, Maruti Suzuki was mainly an importer of cars. In India's closed market, Maruti received the right to import 40,000 fully built-up Suzuki in the first two years, and even after that the early goal was to use only 33% indigenous parts. This upset the local manufacturers considerably. There were also some concerns that the Indian market was too small to absorb the comparatively large production planned by Maruti Suzuki, with the government even considering adjusting the petrol tax and lowering the excise duty in order to boost sales.[14] Local production commenced in December 1983.[15] In 1984, the Maruti Van with the same three-cylinder engine as the 800 was released and the installed capacity of the plant in Gurgaon reached 40,000 units. In 1985, the Suzuki SJ410-based Gypsy, a 970 cc 4WD off-road vehicle, was launched. In 1986, the original 800 was replaced by an all-new model of the 796 cc hatchback Suzuki Alto and the 100,000th vehicle was produced by the company.[13][dead link] In 1987, the company started exporting to the West, when a lot of 500 cars were sent to Hungary. By 1988, the capacity of the Gurgaon plant was increased to 100,000 units per annum.
                • Relationship between the Government of India, under the United Front (India) coalition and Suzuki Motor Corporation over the joint venture was a point of heated debate in the Indian media until Suzuki Motor Corporation gained the controlling stake. This highly profitable joint venture that had a near monopolistic trade in the Indian automobile market and the nature of the partnership built up till then was the underlying reason for most issues. The success of the joint venture led Suzuki to increase its equity from 26% to 40% in 1987, and to 50% in 1992, and further to 56.21% as of 2013.[20] In 1982, both the venture partners entered into an agreement to nominate their candidate for the post of Managing Director and every Managing Director would have a tenure of five years

                  -  The Times of India (TOI) is an Indian English-language daily newspaper owned by The Times Group. It is the third-largest newspaper in India by circulation and largest selling English-language daily in the world according to Audit Bureau of Circulations (India).[1][2] It is the oldest English-language newspaper in India still in circulation,[3] with its first edition published in 1838. It is the second oldest Indian newspaper still in circulation after the Bombay Samachar. It is owned and published by Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. which is owned by the Sahu Jain family. The Times of India issued its first edition on 3 November 1838 as The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce.In 1860, editor Robert Knight (1825–1892) bought the Indian shareholders' interests, merged with rival Bombay Standard, and started India's first news agency. It wired Times dispatches to papers across the country and became the Indian agent for Reuters news service. In 1861, he changed the name from the Bombay Times and Standard to The Times of India.Subsequently, The Times of India saw its ownership change several times until 1892 when, Thomas Bennett and Frank Morris Coleman, who later drowned in the 1915 sinking of the SS Persia, acquired the newspaper through their new company, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd.  Sir Stanley Reed edited The Times of India from 1907 until 1924 and received correspondence from the major figures of India such as Mahatma Gandhi. In all he lived in India for fifty years. He was respected in the United Kingdom as an expert on Indian current affairs. He christened Jaipur as "the Pink City of India". Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd was sold to sugar magnate Ramkrishna Dalmia of the then-famous industrial family, the Dalmiyas, for Rs 20 million in 1946, as India was becoming independent and the British owners were leaving.[16] In 1955 the Vivian Bose Commission of Inquiry found that Ramkrishna Dalmia, in 1947, had engineered the acquisition of the media giant Bennett Coleman & Co. by transferring money from a bank and an insurance company of which he was the Chairman. In the court case that followed, Ramkrishna Dalmia was sentenced to two years in Tihar Jail after having been convicted of embezzlement and fraud.But for most of the jail term he managed to spend in hospital. Upon his release, his son-in-law, Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain, to whom he had entrusted the running of Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. rebuffed his efforts to resume command of the company.Following the Vivian Bose Commission report indicating serious wrongdoings of the Dalmia–Jain group, on 28 August 1969, the Bombay High Court, under Justice J. L. Nain, passed an interim order to disband the existing board of Bennett Coleman and to constitute a new board under the Government. In 1976, during the Emergency in India, the Government transferred ownership of the newspaper back to Ashok Kumar Jain (Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain's son, Ramkrishna Dalmia's grandson and the father of Samir Jain and Vineet Jain).

                        - Bharti Airtel said it had agreed a $2bn credit line from China Development Bank — which it called the single largest bilateral commitment by CDB to any telecoms operator globally and the largest to a private Indian company — and a further $500m from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Loan maturities extend up to nine years.
                        “These financings further complement the strong collaboration with Chinese partners,” said Bharti Airtel, which announced a “strategic collaboration” with China Mobile in March. Bharti is already sourcing equipment from Chinese equipment makers Huawei and ZTE, putting the new lines of credit squarely within China’s existing practice of financing projects overseas that enable business for Chinese companies. The deal is one of the first since CDB’s capital injection last month, with a mandate to finance projects under Mr Xi’s “one belt, one road” initiative to promote Chinese industry overseas. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/88de2eea-fc60-11e4-ae31-00144feabdc0.html
