We are now investing in each of our businesses to achieve substantial earnings growth in the future and create further value for millions of our shareholders.
China and India will, separately and together, unleash an explosion of demand.
We call it infectious impatience. That's his hallmark and we are trying to inculcate it in the entire organization. Infectious impatience. So that things not only get done but get done in double quick time.
I don't think that ambition should not be in the dictionary of entrepreneurs. But our ambition should be realistic. You have to realise that you can't do everything.
We are using new technologies in meaningful ways. To build our new refinery in 60 percent of the time it took to build our first, we are training 20,000 people in a new generation of welding technology in six months.
Really do a job and do it well.
In my father's language: "To create something out of nothing." That possibility exists in India even in old-world sectors like agriculture.
My big advantage was to have my father accept me as first-generation.
The organizational architecture is really that a centipede walks on hundred legs and one or two don't count. So if I lose one or two legs, the process will go on, the organization will go on, the growth will go on.
I personally think that money can do very little. And this has been my experience all across.
As long as we place millions of Indians at the centre of our thought process, as long as we think of their welfare, their future, their opportunities for self-realisation we are on the right track.
Everybody has equal opportunity, and I think that is true for everything.
Essentially, whoever is successful, whoever is going to do things that make a difference, is going to be talked about.
As long as we place millions of Indians at the canter of our thought process, as long as we think of their welfare, their future, their opportunities for self realization we are on the right track. For India can grow, prosper, flourish only if they grow, prosper, flourish. We cannot grow by any esoteric strategies. Our purchasing power, our economic strength, our marketplace all depends on the prosperity of our people.
