		Lakshmi formed two companies, Ispat and LNM Holdings, to assume ownership of the foreign steel mills, while his younger brothers, Pramod K. Mittal and V.K. Mittal, took over the steel operations in India that were started by their father.
		Lakshmi is chairman and CEO of the company; his 29-year-old son, Aditya, is president and chief financial officer; and Vanisha, who did post-graduate work at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies before her marriage, now sits with her father and brother on the Mittal board of directors.
		In Kazakhstan, controversy over Mittal’s business practices centers on safety and wages rather than steel prices (impoverished Kazakhstan consumes little steel itself; nearly all of the steel it makes is exported to China.) Safety came to a head after 23 miners died last Dec. 5 in a coal mine operated by a Mittal subsidiary.
