NEW DELHI: Billionaire Gautam Adani, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran and business tycoon Anil Ambani led India Inc. in paying tributes to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, calling him the architect of economic reforms and one of the tallest leaders.
Singh, who opened up the economy as finance minister and served as prime minister for two consecutive terms, died on Thursday at the age of 92.
“History will forever honour his pivotal role in the transformative 1991 reforms that reshaped India and opened its doors to the world.
