Dr Anand Burman born 1950, Chairman Dabur Limited, India - https://www.dabur.com/

This is my interview with Anand Burman in 2012 and which is a chapter in my 2015 book - Profiles in Enterprise Inspiring stories of Indian business leaders published by Roli Books.There will certainly have been changes in Burman Limited and the Burman family since the date of my meeting with Anand Burman but, in my opinion, the history of the Burman family is fascinating as is the way the family has successfully managed to make the transition from a small family business into the giant it is today.  And, as I mention in the book, from the hundreds of business leaders I have interviewed on their lives, Anand is the only one who explained the history visually by starting with a blank sheet of paper onto which he created a family tree.I should also add this is my first podcast episode where I have used Speechify (https://speechify.com/) to turn my written word into speech using AI with an Australian voice.  My next challenge is to clone my own voice into the system so it sounds more like me. Please note that these interviews took place some time ago - over 25 years ago in the case of the South East Asian life story book and around 10 to 15 years ago in the case of the two Indian life story books.  However, their stories are correct to the time of the interviews and the objective is to demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills they exhibited at the time of the interviews in building their businesses.
