A scam set WA’s fertiliser king on a path to a $5b fortune
About this episode
Vikas Rambal came to Australia from India on a prospective business trip in 2000. But the project he was looking into was not what it seemed.
It was a moment on his five-day trip that would prove to be pivotal.
On this week’s episode of How I Made It, Rich List editor Yolanda Redrup finds out how a scam and a chance encounter set about the Perdaman Group founder’s dream to build the country’s largest fertiliser plant.
