 There's a story behind his middle
name. His parents (father, a bania,
and mother, a khatri—Hindu
castes) had an intercaste marriage,
which created a brouhaha at that
time, forcing them to adopt the
surname Bharti. Sunil Bharti
reclaimed the surname Mittal much
later in life.
 What's his long-term
vision?
"In five years Bharti should be a very large corporation. A
billion-dollar one! Personally, in another seven years, I'd
like to play a larger role in society. No, not politics If I can
be of any use to the government then, I'll be available.
By then the company should run on its own steam.
Empowering people is important. I've had some desires
but no time. I used to fly planes. I'd like to do something
for my intellectual enrichment."
 What would he attribute
his success to
"Right from the beginning ours was never a
trading or money-making mentality, but of wanting
to be recognized in our field and to establish a
corporation. We did things never tried before in
India. We are very fair to the people we work with
(suppliers, buyers, staff). We wanted to prove that
even with meager capital we could do bigger
things. Now a corporation, we are working to
make it an institution.
 What about his family?
“I have a daughter who's 17 and twin sons who
are 13. I don't get to spend much time with the
family. Everybody has a job to do and I think I
was ordained to do what I'm doing. My family is
supportive, however. Whenever I'm with them I
try to spend some quality time. We have an
occasional holiday. First generation
entrepreneurs always have this problem."
How does he relax?
"I used to play golf before,
now sometimes I play tennis.
But I thrive on my work. For
me, work is love, not stress.
But I won't say there's no
stress. As you come to the top
of the pyramid, the intensity of
competition, of jealousy, is
high."
 Any spiritual connection?
“I do some meditation and chanting of
mantras, a little bit of yoga. I exercise in the
mornings. For me spirituality is being good
to people. Having a positive frame of mind
—we've made a virtue of extremely bad
situations."
The son of a politician, Sunil Mittal is from the
town of Ludhiana in Punjab. He has built the
Bharti group, along with two siblings, into
India's largest mobile phone operator in just
ten years. The UK based telecommunication
giant, Vodafone and Singapore's SingTel both
own stakes in the recently renamed flagship
company Bharti Airtel. The group also has
partnerships with Axa for insurance and with
the Rothschild family for exporting fruits and
vegetables.
He has been Chairman & Managing Director
of Bharti Group since October 2001 .
 Sunil's father, Sat Paul Mittal, an MP,
was always in public life. It was Sunil
who started in business (making cycle
parts in Ludhiana, India) in 1976 at the
age of 18 with borrowed capital of Rs
20,000. Later he started operating from
Delhi and Mumbai, india, mainly
importing and distributing products. In
'83-84 was set up the first company,
Bharti Healthcare, making capsules.
 The big break into the telecom
sector happened by accident. In
Mittal's words: "In '83 many imports
were banned, including portable
generators which we were
importing. So we tied up for the
manufacture of push-button
telephones. Our telecom business
is worth Rs 1,2000 million today."
Bharti has recently forayed into the
retail sector with its subsidiary
Bharti Retail. It has also entered
into a joint venture with Wal-Mart
for setting up the supply chain,
logistics and cash and carry to
support the burgeoning retail
market in India
 Bharti has grown successfully in
partnership with various leading
companies of the world - Singapore
Telecom, Vodafone, Warburg
Pincus, and British Telecom, to
name a few.
