To strike it rich in India's changing economy, follow the trail of ex-cavalry officer K.P Singh, who used insight, guts and luck to build a real estate empire--and reaped a $20 billion bonanza. From the window of his Ninth-Floor office, Kushal Pal Singh looks down New Delhi's Jantar Mantar, an elaborate astronomical observatory built by a far-sighted 18th century Hindu ruler reowned for his diplomacy and the monuments he left behind. The stone curves and pillars of the observatory worked in conjuction with its massive sundial to create one of the most reliable and accurate scientific instruments of the day, allowing astronomers to measure time, forecast eclipses and determine the positions of stars and planets. The Jantar Mantar "gave me inspirations," says Singh, the chairman of DLF, India's ; largest real estate company. " And the inspiration was that if this guy who conceived and made the Jantar Mantar centuries ago could be a forward-looking man, why is it that we can't be forward looking in our development and start to do something ahead of the time?"
