It is better to underpromise and overdeliver than vice versa. For this one need not break the law of the land.

Organisations with decision-making speed and imagination will thrive as nobody can claim to have a monopoly over creativity.

The velocity of decision making in government was extraordinary slow. It took 18 to 24 months and 15 to 20 trips to Delhi to get a license to import computers.

There is only one ingredient for innovation and that is the power of the human mind. As long as a company is able to attract, enable, empower and retain the best of the brightest, it will have a play. As long as the leadership of companies ensure that the physically and mentally tired mind that leaves office at whatever 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm or 9:00 pm comes back mentally and physically reenergised and enthusiastic to add significant value to the customer next morning, the job is done.

The real power of money is the power to give it away.

Our assets walk out of the door each evening. We have to make sure that they come back the next morning.

In the fullness of time, when it is our turn to give, we must in turn plant gardens that we may never eat the fruit of, which will benefit the generations to come.
