The Billionaire's Apprentice

Indian-Americans, often called "Twice Blessed," have become a dominant force in corporate America, leading numerous Fortune 500 companies. This book investigates their remarkable ascent and the hidden dynamics of this powerful subculture through the sensational Galleon Group insider trading scandal. Prosecutor Preet Bharara, himself the son of Indian immigrants, clashed with titans like Sri Lankan-born hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam—the self-described "King of Kings"—and Rajat Gupta, former head of McKinsey & Co. and a Goldman Sachs board member, accused as Rajaratnam's accomplice. Author Anita Raghavan traces this global network, from Wall Street to Delhi's IIT, to reveal a compelling narrative of triumph, temptation, and tragedy within the Indian-American elite.
