Why so many Indians have been reaching the very top levels in multinational companies.

Mukti Jain Campion examines why so many Indians have been reaching the very top levels in multinational companies and as global entrepreneurs.

Mukti Jain Campion examines how Indians have moved so rapidly from running cornershops to running corporations. 

The phenomenal rise of the 'new global indians' started slowly 20 years ago but has really taken off in the past 10 years. Equipped with the English language and higher degrees from top universities, their ambitions go far beyond being call centre operators or back office workers for the west. Instead they're making it big as entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and as analysts and bankers on Wall Street and Canary Wharf, buying up British businesses and running global companies.

A Culture Wise production for BBC Radio 4.
