Western India in ancient history had been a center of trade and commerce. From the time of the Indus Valley Civilization, Bharuch had served as a trade port during the ancient Indian dynasties. The medieval period, from the time of Solankis, Sultanate, Mughals, and Portuguese till the establishment of an English East India Company factory in Surat in 1616 made western India a fertile ground for business. This volume, however, covers the emergence of business enterprises in modern India from 1856 to 1956.
This monograph covers the profiles of nine business families: Ranchhodlal Chhotalal, the Tatas, the Lalbhais, the Khataus, the Mafatlals, the Amins, the Kirloskars, the Walchands, and Larsen and Toubro, out of which one is run by a Parsi and another is established by two Danish engineers, Henning Holck-Larsen and Søren Kristian Toubro, who took refuge in India in 1946. This book will largely benefit scholars and researchers interested in the history of business enterprises and communities in modern India.
