“I consider myself a pathfinder. I have been excavating the jungle and making the road for others to walk. I like to be the first in everything I do.”

A motivated manpower is the most important thing.

Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.

True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.

My commitment is to produce at the cheapest price and the best quality.

You do not require an invitation to make profits.

There is no difference between our methods and those of anybody else-the only difference is that our motivation and dedication he is much greater.

I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world.

Does making money excite me? No, but I have to make money for my shareholders. What excites me is achievement, doing something difficult.

Never. Till my last breath I will work. To retire there is only one place- the cremation ground.

My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.

You have to take the calculated risk, to earn something.

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.

I dream of India becoming a great economic superpower.

Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for Reliance and for India.

You accuse me of black marketing, but which of you has not slept with me?

To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.

Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.

What’s in store for me in the direction I don’t take?

The devil can only destroy those who are already on their way to damnation.

Bitterness leads nowhere. It turns back on itself. It is the eternal cul-de-sac.

Remember that no one succeeds alone. Never walk alone in your future paths.

Crisis is the path to happiness. Decay and disintegration do not spell doom, but ascent and beginning. The powerful forces of a new creation operate in the hush beyond the noise of the day.

That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.
