But the winds of change are slow yet. Entrepreneurship would also depend on whose money you are playing with. The kind of money someone like Ashok Soota will be playing with, for instance, will not be from here. Mr Crishna believes that people in the marwari community will be the fastest in. However, he points out, these people will not be the builders of corporate India.
Corporate builders are a different breed.
The Tatas, Godrej, Hindustan Lever, BPL, Mahindras and organisations like these, have their heart in corporate building. BPL's Mr Nambiar, of course, spans both sides of the spectrum. Practically speaking, Mr Crishna believes that the action in the beginning of the next millennium will be driven by what has happened in the 90s. Interesting things have happened. Corporate buccaneers have found it difficult maintaining their own pace after the licence raj.
