P M S Prasad
If Reliance Industries' petroleum business was an independent company, he would be heading one of the largest companies in India. He was instrumental in implementing two world-class refineries at Jamnagar, a natural gas field that today accounts for 40 per cent of all hydrocarbons produced in the country. He is recognised for helping RIL morph from a refining and petrochemicals group into a vertically diversified E&P business. As head of petroleum and refining business -- the key driver of RIL's profits -- the 58-year-old executive director was the second homegrown professional after SS Kohli to get a seat on the RIL board last year. Chairman Mukesh Ambani zeroed in on Prasad, known for his man management skills and detailed planning, to give the Ambani family-dominated board a professional face. The engineering graduate was also RIL's representative in the gas dispute hearings in the Supreme Court.
