<p>Gautam Singhania, chairman and managing director of the Raymond Group, loves to live in the fast lane, yet he is a simple family man at heart. He talks to Rinky Kumar about his passion for speed, idols, hobbies and dreams</p>

A bright yellow Ferrari 458 model sits on his office table at his Altamount Road residence. In one end of the room, the 48-year-old business czar is busy working on his laptop, clad in a red t-shirt and a pair of jeans — a sports enthusiast who loves all good (and fast) things in life and at the same time, is an industrious man who heads the world’s largest textile conglomerate.
