Ab to Arun Sarin ki lagi. Indian ceos of large MNCs like to show that they are supermen in front of the Indian janta and then get screwed. Rana Talwar was doing quite well as CEO of Stanchart Global, acted funny and got booted out. Now it is Sarin's ass on the firing line.
He should have thought twice before dealing with the Essar's and he thought he could use his position to browbeat the Indian govt. with a little help from the UK govt. Now he has been screwed by the Ruia's who are surely behind this whole thing. Hero ban gaya zero!
