    Lakshmi Mittal (born 1950) is an Indian businessman and steel magnate who built one of the world’s largest steel enterprises through acquisitions, consolidation, and aggressive expansion in global commodities markets. He has served as executive chairman of ArcelorMittal, the multinational steel and mining company created after his group’s takeover and merger with Arcelor in the mid-2000s. Mittal’s influence reflects industrial capital control in a classic form: ownership and coordination of production assets, supply chains, and pricing strategy in a commodity industry where scale can determine survival.
