Prime Minister Narendra Modi is finally heading off to the United States of America today. And yes he has got himself a ‘designer’ wardrobe designed by excellent designer for bespoke menswear – Troy Costa. Obviously Troy refused to say anything on him designing for the PM. Modi must have made him sign a ‘non disclosure’ agreement. But yes Troy Costa has designed Narendra Modi’s wardrobe for his US visit.
Akash Ambani
If you wondering how Modi came to hire the services of Troy, it is rather simple to understand the trail for those who follow Costa’s work. He has who’s-who among his clientele like Hrithik Roshan, Leander Paes, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Raj Salgaocar, Vijaypat Singhania, Mukesh Ambani and his sons and many other luminaries. Troy’s forte is his knowledge of tailoring and his impeccable construction. 
Being a Goan, Troy Costa was first patronized by Goa based tycoon, Raj Salgaocar. Raj introduced Mukesh Ambani (his brother-in-law) to Troy and now Mukesh Bhai suggested Costa to Narendra Modi. Wonder how much liberty Modi has given him to do his wardrobe. Seems it will be more of Bandhgalas in easy fit and not Costa’s slim-fit style. Mukesh Ambani is the de-facto advisor of our Prime Minister and that’s why lobbying firm – Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR) President is one of the six top corporate honchos Modi is going to meet. Ambani hired KKR’s services when they started exploring oil in Alaska. It is KKR who got Mukesh Ambani on the Board of The Bank of America.
Looks like Mukesh Ambani influencing Narendra Modi too much. Even suggesting his favorite
designer. Wondering what would Arvind kejriwal say.
KKR is NOT a lobbying firm
Wowza scoop on Modi and Mukesh! Didn’t know Ambani’s had their tenterhooks in Alaska’s oil as well. How much money will ever be enough for such people?
hey I feel u have soft corner for Rahul Gandhi(who otherwise is a butt of joke on internet) and never ever questioned his credibility
Whereas u hv written about Modiji only in context with Ambani,
Let us give our PM benefit of doubt as long as he is not involved in any scam
(though as long as Adani and Ambani are concerned,I hv doubt whether our PM goes out of his way to help them to get various contracts)
It is a Lobbying firm that doubles as an Investment Fund
i knew KKR as a PE fund..but, this is news to me…maybe they cld be lobbying to change policies to suit their investments
Hey jACK you are right! KKR does have a public affairs unit
Having chosen Troy Costa, the PM was indeed trying to be politically correct,
it doesn’t matter to me whether Ambani is influencing his wardrobe taste.. who is paying for it is interesting? Mukeshbhai paying for Narendrabhai .. & Narendrabhai keeping IOU of Mukeshbhai? Torry Costa doesn’t come cheap especially for a Salaried Class first servant of Govt of India.. 😉
I’m quite surprised that Ambani made it onto the BOA Board. Wouldn’t the SEC laws in the US require the appointment of only citizens or permanent residents to Director positions, of which he is neither? Or maybe they are not so strict when it comes to appointing independent directors?
