Lakshmi has always credited her for being the source of all his success in life. "It is very nice of him to give me the credit but actually he deserves all the credit. It is his business acumen, his hard work that has brought the success."

She was the first one to run the factory in Indonesia. "It was our maiden company and my husband put it up as his first Greenfield project and I joined him as a department head.

Then he got busy with the other factories, travelling, acquiring other factories so I started looking after Ispat Indo."

Usha's and Lakshmi's biggest indulgence is to go on holidays. "We like to go to movies together sometimes to dinners or just a drive."

On being asked how Lakshmi came into her life she says, "Actually my parents arranged a tea meeting with him in Calcutta. When we first talked on the phone it was instant charm for each other."

And what irritates her about her hubby is his cell. She reveals that her hubby can't live without his Blackberry even for a minute. She says, "His most irritating habit is his Blackberry!"
