Who is Deepak Piramal? Mukesh Ambani's relative forced to sell famous business of…, no one ready to handle Rs 6,800 crore company because…
VIP owner Dilip Piramal had left his family business to build India's largest luggage brand, VIP Industries. It is now valued at Rs 6,800 crore. Mukesh Ambani's relative Dilip Piramal is now going to sell a stake in VIP. Who is Dilip Piramal? What do his children do? VIP Industries Journey For decades, VIPs have been named in the Indian household as luggage in India. Despite the arrival of numerous brands, VIP retained its identity during the 1980s and 90s. During this time its suitcases and trolleys dominated the market. Operating under the tagline 'Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow,' VIP Industries is now going to go through a major change. A 32% stake in the company is up for sale. Why Is VIP Being Sold? Dilip Piramal, the owner of VIP Industries, is set to sell his 32% stake, valued at around Rs 1,763 crore. This is the company he founded after separating from the Piramal family business. At 75, Piramal says his family has no interest in running the company, and at this age he is unable to give full time attention to the business as per its demand. No Heir To Carry Legacy Dilip Piramal's next generation has no desire to take charge of VIP Industries. Over the past five years, the company's market share and sales have declined, partly due to this lack of active leadership. Rather than watch the company struggle, Piramal wants it to be taken over by someone who can ensure its continuity. After the sale, he will retain just 17% ownership in VIP. Who Are Dilip Piramal's Family Members? Piramal's personal life has also been in the spotlight. He has been married twice and has three daughters, but none are interested in managing the business. His first wife, Gita Piramal, is a well-known author. They married in 1975 and have two daughters named Radhika and Aparna. Dilip and Gita divorced in 2005. Radhika identifies herself as lesbian, and lives in London with her wife. She has been associated with VIP Industries since 2010 as a Managing Editor. Aparna reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder. His second wife, Shalini Agarwal, and Dilip have a daughter named Priyadarshini. Despite their success and privilege, none of the daughters have shown interest in continuing the family business and that is the main reason behind Dilip Piramal's decision to sell it Who Is Buying VIP? According to media reports, the interested buyers include Multiples Private Equity, Aakash Bhansali, a well-known stock investor and Mithun Sacheti, founder of CaratLane Dilip Piramal Connection With Mukesh Ambani Dilip Piramal is the elder brother of Ajay Piramal, chairman of Piramal Enterprises. Ajay's son Anand Piramal is married to Isha Ambani, the only daughter of Mukesh Ambani making Dilip Piramal Mukesh Ambani's samdhi (in-law). Dilip Piramal was established VIP Industries Ltd in 1968, focusing on the manufacturing and sales of luggage, backpacks, and handbags. Today, VIP products are available in over 45 countries and across 8,000 retail stores in India. The company has a market capitalization of Rs 6,800 crore, and Dilip Piramal's personal net worth is more than Rs 4,000 crore.

Tesla's India plan focuses on abundant caution rather than impulsive courage
The Eagle has landed after years of waiting. For those who made the pre-bookings many years ago, their patience has been tested since the time their (pre-booking) amounts were refunded. The Centre's patience has also been tested: Tesla was not confirming even after getting a favourable electric vehicle policy so tailor-made that some in the corridors of power informally refer to it as the ' Tesla EV Policy '. The wait is finally over and we have the Model Y in flesh and blood in a Mumbai showroom with Delhi scheduled to follow soon too. Time for the early birds to draw out the booking amount! As the company makes headlines even for its most routine actions, like advertising for service advisors in its workshops (a job posting that would go unnoticed if this was any other brand), the hype train is chugging along at full speed. But was it worth the wait? Tesla's triumphs and trials Tesla's success in the US rested on two main pillars: human intuitive technology and a country-wide charging network. The intuitive technology, especially in the 'cockpit', made interacting with the car so seamless that at times it was even labelled 'distracting' for safe driving. Tesla's supercharger charging infrastructure, which extends from the East Coast to West Coast in the US, removed range anxiety and made the decision to own a Tesla even more attractive. All of this, and the promise for newer technologies/ innovations to follow, made Tesla the most valuable automobile company in the world in terms of market valuation, even ahead of the OG players from the US, Germany and Japan. However, nothing is permanent, as the saying goes. Tesla had its share of stumbles: some were self-inflicted and some were by competition catching up. Elon Musk's political involvements hurt sales not just in a polarized US political landscape, but also in Europe. At the same time, competitors, especially from China, learnt the tricks quickly to spice up their cabins and soon leapfrogged ahead of the Tesla juggernaut. Testing Indian waters tactically Some say this backdrop made Tesla take cognisance of the world's third-largest automobile market, India. They had to consider that Indian consumers and the automobile market were very different and unforgiving. If one was to go by the Centre's Heavy Industries Minister, Tesla was not baited by the newly announced EV policy. Many describe it as 'old wine in a new bottle'. Nonetheless, it promises to make the imported cars' prices more competitive today (through lower import duties) if the importing carmaker pledges future investments in local assembly and commits to adding some local components within a specified time frame. Tesla seems to have chosen the tried, cautious, and pragmatic route of testing waters first by importing completely built units (CBUs) and then taking the next steps based on the response. In some sense, this is a very different approach from what we have seen its risk-taking, brazen leader take in the past. Looking at the launch product selected (Model Y) and its launch price, it becomes even clearer that the Indian business plan was made with abundant caution rather than impulsive courage. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that a good 'profit cushion' is built into the customer sticker price. This will likely not just used towards paying the high real-estate rentals for its upcoming Experience Centres but will also give them budgets for brand building aimed at the Indian consumer. Obviously, this sticker price also includes the CBU import duties which pushes Tesla into the luxury car Market in India where 50,000 units are sold annually (a very small segment – just 1.25 per cent of total cars sold in India in 2024). A 5 per cent share of this luxury car market will mean an annual volume of 2,500 units though a more pragmatic estimate of 2 per cent looks more achievable which will mean an annual volume of 1,000 units. Let us not forget, majority of Indian customers are value sticklers, not brand chasers. The wait is over, but is India ready to make Tesla's delay look like perfect timing? Only time will tell.

Rupee falls 18 paise to close at 85.94 against U.S. dollar
The rupee declined 18 paise against the U.S. dollar to close at 85.94 (provisional) on Wednesday (July 16, 2025), tracking a strengthening American currency against major crosses overseas amid uncertainties over the India-U.S. trade pact. However, renewed foreign capital inflows and sliding global crude prices supported the domestic unit, according to forex traders. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened weak at 86.02 against the dollar. It traded in the range of 85.74-86.05 during the day before closing at 85.94 (provisional), down 18 paise from its previous close. In the previous session, the rupee appreciated 16 paise to close at 85.76 against the U.S. dollar. 'The Indian Rupee experienced notable volatility today, initially weakening against a robust U.S. Dollar before recovering mid-session due to dollar supply, only to conclude with net losses. 'This movement follows a three-day consolidation phase for the USD-INR pair, ranging from 85.70 to 86.05. The sentiment remains acutely favourable for the dollar, driven by expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve post-U.S. inflation data and persistent uncertainties regarding India-U.S. trade agreements,' said Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst, HDFC Securities. An Indian commerce ministry team is in Washington for another round of talks on the proposed bilateral trade agreement. The four-day talks, which started on Monday (July 14, 2025), will conclude on Thursday (July 17, 2025). 'We continue to await the outcome of the trade deal as inflows and outflows keep the rupee well entrenched in a range of 85.70 to 86.10. We expect a similar range for the rupee tomorrow (Thursday) as well,' Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was down 0.26% to $68.53 per barrel in futures trade. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, dipped 0.07% to 98.54. On the domestic equity market front, the Sensex rose 63.57 points to settle at 82,634.48, while the Nifty inched up 16.25 points to 25,212.05. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought equities worth ₹120.47 crore on a net basis on Tuesday (July 15, 2025), according to exchange data.
