I said, “I don’t have any
reputation to start with right, so
what’s there to lose?”
The advice is- you are at your best,
when you have nothing to lose.
- Build your own reputation

You don’t go up just based on
who you are. It takes people to
make sure that you don’t lose
your focus and as I have always
said that for a space shuttle to go
in space, it has to have the two
booster rockets.
- Success and relationships

5. The challenge ahead of you is never
greater than the force behind you.
You have good people behind you,
good team behind you; you can meet
any challenge in life.
- Facing challenges

I really believe that there is something
called India, Indian and Indianness and
the global brand of India can become
talent. Never feel apologetic about who
you are, the Indianness in us is our
biggest strength. That’s where I think
the world would start looking at it. I
always felt that that’s made me who I
am.
- Collective Indian potential

We have something in us and we
should be very proud that the
Indian parents would do anything
to make the children get the best
education. And so long the drive
is there, I think nobody
can touch us.
- Indians and education
