Indian’s are making their presence felt everywhere, be it business or sports. Never before in the history have Indian’s attracted so much of global attention.

Just yesterday, Forbes magazine listed as many as 14 Indians in its ‘Midas 100 List’ of those who invested in start-up companies and then sell off their stakes with handsome gains.

Today Forbes another coveted list "World’s top 10 wealthiest CEOs" – Guess what, 4 Indian’s figure in it.

Here are these 4 coveted Indian CEO:

Ambani fulfills the duties of CEO at his company, even though he doesn’t carry the title. Son of the late Dhirubhai Ambani, the legendary Indian tycoon and founder of Reliance Industries. A few years after the elder Ambani’s death in 2002, his sons split the family fortune, with Mukesh retaining Reliance Industries and Reliance Petroleum.

Like his brother Mukesh, Anil doesn’t call himself chief executive, even though he shares the duties of a CEO with two other executives at Reliance ADA. A few years after the death of their father Dhirajlal Ambani, Anil took over the family’s telecom, finance and power interests.

Number 8

Like the Ambani brothers, Premji doesn’t hold the title of CEO, but effectively acts like one. His company Wipro is one of India’s largest information-technology companies. Earlier this month, he denied market rumors that Wipro was interested in acquiring CapGemini of France.

The number 1 position was taken by Warren Buffet with Sheldon Adelson, Bernard Arnault, Lawrence Ellison, Michael Dell and Charles Koch completing the Top 10 list.

Why are you proud of these men who fight with their own blood for money? And how much do they give away to the poor in India? Also, wonder how Mukesh’s conscience lets him sleep at night knowing he threw out orphans to get the Arabian Sea for his gaudy home.
