114. There is a generational transformation underway at many of India’s marquee industrial houses. Founded in the late 1960s and 1970s, they grew with India, and are now readying the ground for the next generation of the family to take the reins.At the $13 billion core sector conglomerate JSW Group, led by Sajjan Jindal, this script is now playing out. In the hot seat is 28-year-old Parth Jindal, an alumnus of Brown University and Harvard Business School.Sajjan Jindal is the son of Jindal group patriarch OP Jindal.The burden of expectations is inevitable. His father Sajjan Jindal took the reins of a small steel plant on the outskirts of Mumbai in 1984, with revenues of Rs 9 crore, and grew it in three decades into an operation that overtook the century-old Indian steel business of Tata Steel, in volumes.But steel is not where the younger Jindal is expected to play. He is expected to build his own turf, in areas with little presence of the group â€" cement, paint and sports.When we arrive at the group headquarters in Mumbai, Parth Jindal has just returned by chopper from the company’s steel plant in Dolvi in Raigad district. He meets us looking fresh from a quick shower in office, wearing an air of nonchalance.Sports TrackJindal says he is determined to build India’s first publicly traded sports company. He wants a listing on the bourses by 2025. JSW Sports includes team franchises in cricket, football and kabaddi. The expectation is that in another seven years, the perception about the worth of a sports franchise among investors will change for the better.65273959
115. My room in the newly opened ITC Kohenur in Hyderabad overlooked the 16th century Durgam Cheruvu reservoir, partly restored but still dotted with water hyacinth and littered with the detritus of a bridge being built to ease traffic, urban India’s perennial headache. In the distance, the crenelated ruins of Golconda Fort formed a craggy backdrop to the white domes of the Qutb Shahi necropolis, gleaming in the grey monsoon light.It is, of course, not a coincidence that Hyderabad’s second ITC hotel is named after the most famous diamond extracted from the mines bearing the same moniker as Golconda Fort. Everything from ITC Kohenur’s magnificent crystal chandeliers in the lobby to the recurrent diamond theme etched on the floors of the rooms reiterate its connection to both the old grandeur of Hyderabad as well as the new splendour of Cyberabad.For me, however, the hotel and the medieval monuments seen from its huge windows seemed to be perfect opposites. The Kohenur certainly epitomises the ITC Hotels’ Indian ethos and the chain’s motto of responsible luxury. But a chance meeting with the group’s executive vice-president (projects) Alwyn Noronha in the lobby revealed an unlikely synergy with the monuments as well.Technology now offers many easy if expensive ways to ensure water, cooling, heat and light. So the need to consider and respect natural elements like climate, topography and orientation for prestigious projects is now optional. Hotels, in particular, can (and often do) spend inordinate amounts of money and effort to ensure all these for their guests when a little forethought can save them millions, and make their buildings more eco-friendly.
