Kampani has two great strengths, says a senior investment advisor in banking circles, who did not wish to be named. One, his deep knowledge of the industry. He can quote, from memory, clauses from the Companies Act, give you the numbers aspect and the legal angle. Second, its the trust that he has inspired in certain relationships. How many people could sit on the board of Nusli Wadias company, Britannia, and also be advisor responsible for the valuation of the Ambani empire before the family split? And then, remain friends with all family members? Asked about his values, Kampani points to his close-knit family (where) we follow the principles of our religion very closely, in our day-today life. While his cricket-playing days at Sydenham College are well behind, the avid cricket fan follows a fairly simple, even if somewhat predictable, routine each day. Kampani says he prays for a half-hour at home, and then goes to the temple for darshan, before coming to the office. In the evening he prays at his small temple at home, following up with a special puja every Saturday. Prayer calms you down, says the six-foot-tall Kampani, pointing proudly to the tilak on his forehead. It makes you relax. It helps you manage yourself with other people.
