Radhe Shyam Agarwal, is the co-founder and Chairman of Emami (https://www.emamiltd.in/) which is leading Indian conglomerate involved in  the businesses of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), paper, real estate, edible oils, health care and cement.  He is almost always referred to as RS Agarwal along with his co-founder and partial namesake, Radhe Shyam Goenka who is similarly almost always referred to as RS Goenka.

As you will hear the lives of the two founders are inextricably intertwined and in many ways they are alter egos and compliment each other brilliantly.

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.
