There is a growing interest in team ownership and promoting sports beyond cricket in India. I always felt it is important to encourage other sports, especially those that bring communities together and promote active lifestyles to Indian youth.

My aspiration is that M&M become one of the most customer-centric organizations in the world. If we focus on understanding our customers, we will be able to develop customer-centric innovations.

Sustainability is a part of our 'rise' philosophy. You cannot rise if you take more from the community than you put back.

You incubate a product in an atmosphere where that product is best incubated. So, for example, we incubated our electric scooter in California. Because it's low-volume manufacturing but high-intelligence, intensive manufacturing, we are starting in Michigan.

In my career, I've really wanted to sort of be a morpher and not show my own identity.

My career is based on openness and honesty.

My career in academic research has not been involved with active management of securities. I've tried to understand risk-and-return relationships; also the pricing of derivative securities.

I've been so blessed to have the career I have had, so each and every shoot and job is a privilege for me to be at.
