Rajeev Misra

As Gulf oil wealth flows to all corners of the globe - backing mega mergers, propping up economies and upending the world of sport - moves by a key member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family have positioned him as one of world's most influential dealmakers.

While offering big pay packets to foreign executives, compensation for CEO Masayoshi Son was JPY 209 million (roughly Rs. 14 crores), a 9 percent decline compared to a year earlier, a SoftBank filing showed.

Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, who recently gave up court practice in wake of his courtroom spat with Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, has reconsidered his decision on the request of his client to appear in the Supreme Court in the Ram Janamabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.

Suspended head of Baba Raghav Das Medical College in Gorakhpur where 30 children died in 48 hours, Dr Rajeev Misra said he owned responsibility "for the death of innocent children" but contradicted the Yogi Adityanath government that he took too long to seek funds needed to pay for the oxygen supplier.

However, the election of Rajeev Misra is subject to shareholders' approval at Softbank's annual general meeting to be held on June 21.

Saudi Arabia and Japan's SoftBank Group will create a technology investment fund that could grow as large as $100 billion, making it one of the world's largest private equity investors and a potential kingpin in the industry.

Mr Misra, a former debt-trading executive at Deutsche Bank and UBS AG, joined Fortress Investment Group LLC earlier this year.

With India staring down the barrel, Davis Cup captain S P Misra said on Friday that he had not expected his side to trail 0-2 on the opening day of their World Group play-off tie against Japan.
