Born 23 October now heads and owns a US\$7 billion plus group, awarded with Padma Bhushan, started his first venture in 1976 at the age of 18, with a capital investment of Rs 20,000 (U\$500) borrowed from his father, an ex-MP of Indian parliament?

Sunil Bharti Mittal, born October 23, 1957, founded Bharti Enterprises (now Bharti Airtel) in 1976 at age 18 with Rs 20,000 borrowed from his father Satya Pal Mittal (a former MP). He built a $7+ billion telecommunications empire and received the Padma Bhushan in 2007. The other options don't match: Lord Swaraj Paul was born in 1931, Vijay Mallya inherited his business, and Sam Pitroda is a telecom policy innovator, not a business conglomerate head.
