I am very confident that we will be able to convince all the stakeholders - the shareholders, the governments and the employees, that this is in their best interests.

We are beginning to see the benefits of globalconsolidation.

It is true that we are interested in scale but there are very sound reasons for this.

We have no intention of shutting down plants. We have always said there will be no redundancies or lay-offs as a result of this merger.

Always think outside the box and embrace opportunities that appear, wherever they might be.

It's true that I run a multi-national group but I have no interests in India. So please tell me, what should my identity be?

When people can see which direction the leaders are going in it becomes easier to motivate them.
