Anil Ambani emerges as top business icon

New Delhi, Aug 25: Mr Anil Dhirubhai Ambani tops the list of India's business icons for the country's youth who find him flamboyant, high profile and closer to their age, while steel magnet L N Mittal is next on their mind with Mr Mukesh Ambani further back, an India Today Opinion Poll has said.

Interestingly, country's most respected business leaders Narayana Murthy and Ratan Tata barely register on the radar of today's youngsters as they find them too old to relate with.

Mr Anil Ambani has left behind several other corporate giants like Azim Premji, Anand Mahindra and Rahul Bajaj in the youth icon poll.

Today's youngsters, obsessed with wealth and success, do not symbolise their icons with strong moral values but with young age and dynamism.

Others featuring in the list either have a conservative image or are too old.
