He is a billionaire’s boy with serious ambition. Charming, articulate and handsome, with round brown eyes that mask a degree of calculation, he is already seen as likely successor to his father Lakshmi at the steel giant they created two years ago by merging their family-controlled firm with European rival Arcelor.
For others in the steel industry, he has been a surprise. Travelling side-by-side with his father for the past decade, he has kept his head down, worked the deals, brushed off the accusations of nepotism and helped drive the expansion that has left the Mittals’ rivals in their wake.That combined entity, Arcelor Mittal, in which the Mittal family owns a 45% stake, is now the biggest steel group in the world. And Aditya, trained at Wharton Business School and Credit Suisse First Boston in New York, sits as finance director, head of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and management-board member responsible for flat-steel products, Americas. He is only 32.

A team led by an Indian-origin professor has devised a method of using mobile phones for conducting eye tests, a technique it hopes will be useful in places lacking hi-tech eye equipment.
The device, called NETRA, which means eye in Hindi, has been designed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab associate professor Ramesh Raskar, visiting professor Manuel Oliveira, student Vitor Pamplona and postdoctoral research associate Ankit Mohan.
The two-minute eye test can be carried out using a small plastic device clipped in front of a cellphone's screen.
The patient looks into a small lens, presses the phone's arrow keys until sets of parallel green and red lines just overlap. The process is repeated eight times with the lines at different angles for each eye.
The entire process takes less than two minutes after which the software loaded in the phone provides prescription data.
"Our device has the potential to make routine refractive eye exams simpler and cheaper, and, therefore, more accessible to millions of people in developing countries," Oliveira said in a statement.
The technology takes advantage of the huge improvements over the last few years in the resolution of digital displays and their widespread proliferation on cellphones.
