When India got independence, entrepreneurs were seen as a bad lot, as people who would exploit.

My background is putting in large systems that change lives... The right kind of systems can bring honesty and efficiency.

I scribbled four words down in my notebook: 'The world is flat.

I am proud of the fact that my wealth is completely transparent.

I think politics is the biggest lever of change in India.

Slowly, ideas lead to ideology, lead to policies that lead to actions.

Congress is my ideological home; I come from a Nehruvian family.
