#1 Dilip Mehta

Brand: Rosy Blue (India)

Cycling around Surat in the mid-1960s, Dilip Mehta, a gangly teenager learning the ropes of the diamond trade, had little inkling of the globe-trotting road that the stones would take him on. What would be a fairy-tale-like journey that would see this college drop-out from Mumbai appointed a Baron by the king of a faraway country called Belgium. But this was no fairy tale.

Baron Dilip Mehta was CEO of what is possibly the world’s largest diamond manufacturing company, Rosy Blue — a name that commands instant respect on Hoveniersstraat, the legendary diamond quarter of Antwerp, where the $1 billion company is headquartered.

Today Rosy Blue consists of two legal entities, one operating in India, Rosy Blue (India), and the other active in the rest of the world, Rosy Blue investments Sarl. Rosy Blue is present in 15 countries and employs over 10,000 employees. Russell Mehta is the COO of Rosy Blue India.
