In the United States, businessmen frequently run for elections, leveraging their leadership and financial management skills, while in India, this is rare due to cultural, systemic, and practical differences. Indian politics is deeply rooted in grassroots connections, caste, and family legacies, making it challenging for businessmen to gain public trust. Additionally, the complexities of running elections, lack of clear regulations around campaign financing, and the risk of business disruptions discourage direct involvement. Public perception also plays a role, as businessmen in India are often seen as profit-driven, unlike in the U.S., where they are admired as innovators and job creators. Instead of contesting elections, Indian businessmen like Gautam Adani or Mukesh Ambani influence politics indirectly through their networks and resources, shaping policies and decisions from behind the scenes.
