India is a unique and special place but a challenging business environment. ”

The right people don't care about a corner office - they care about the culture, if you're mission-driven, what you're going to do to make the world a better place. ”

Globalisation for a startup is exciting; you have to learn so fast about the different cultures of the world. ”

If your business is the right business, then money will never be an issue. ”

We always wanted to create a business that makes a difference in the world. ”

Before I started WeWork, I owned a baby clothing company based in Dumbo, Brooklyn. ”

WeWork is my fifth venture. I failed in my first, second and third, had mediocre success in the fourth. ”

Mentorship plays such an important role in business - we know it's a must - and I believe schools should embrace it in a much fuller way. ”

Before WeWork, I had a baby clothing company. When I started out, I had no real contacts in the garment business and no mentor to guide me on how things worked. I just had an idea to put pads on the baby clothes on to protect the baby's knees. ”

I never had a traditional mentor. I know people who have been successful with a mentor, but I've never understood why I should limit myself to the knowledge and expertise of one person. ”
