Can Anil walk the talk?

Yes Anil, you won the battle. You have proved that you are a better negotiator than your brother. But you have lot more to prove. You might create lot of hype by announcing one big project after another. But the real challenge is to implement these project and sorry to say I doubt you capabilities on that.

You rightly claim that the group’s growth machines are with you and we hope you are right when you said that you vehicle has no reverse gear. Your real challenge is Reliance Infocomm. It’s an amazing asset. It has the potential to change India forever. Your challenge is to make sure that Infocomm lives up to his potential.

You maybe more media savvy and a better negotiator but now its time to prove you project implementation skills. I understand you ambition regarding Reliance Capital and it fits your skill set. But your mega investment plans for power sector baffles me. And what disappoints me is even when you are talking so much you have not even made clear your vision for Infocomm. I just wish you donot mess up India’s once in a lifetime opportunity to bridge the economic divide with the developing world. I feel you don’t even realize the potential of Reliance Infocomm massive optic fiber backbone and last mile infrastructure. Your brother had gifted you a magic wand that I am not sure you know how to handle it. I hope your chapter in history donot end with the line “Bandar ke haath me narial”

You at one time want to run in three different directions – banking & finance, power and Infocomm. Infocomm is big enough project to keep you busy (you wont get time for your parties, holidays, exercise and Politics); I can’t understand how you hope to drive three different engines in three different directions at full speed. Get realistic man!!! And do more talk less!!
