"He's not the kind of guy who will crack a joke to break the stress," says a Bharti employee. On the other hand, he doesn't have the short fuse of many type-A CEOS, either. In July, Mittal gathered 80 journalists at the rooftop ballroom of Bombay's lavish Oberoi hotel for an elaborate ceremony to mark Airtel's local launch.
