EAST INDIA COMPANY : Now in the possession of India
Friday, April 16th, 2010
With just around a month to go for the re-launch of the East India Company – the world’s first multinational whose forces once ruled much of the globe – its new Indian owner says he is overwhelmed by “a huge feeling of redemption”.
It’s been a long, emotional and personal journey for Sanjiv Mehta, a Mumbai-born entrepreneur who completed the process of buying the East India Company (EIC) in 2005 from the “30 or 40″ people who owned it.
