10 But many companies say that they need foreign 
help because they want their businesses to 
grow. Reliance Industries, India’s biggest private 
company, is spending £2.5bn to create a chain of 
superstores across India. 100 expatriates work 
in the senior management of Reliance. These 
people have “global experience”. These skills, 
said chairman Mukesh Ambani, were 
very important when Reliance opened its 
convenience stores. “We were first in the world 
to create stores like these. When Tesco went to 
California it decided to use the same model. That 
shows how much we can get from 
foreign talent.”
