“I could never take orders from anyone.”

From my experience in working with bureaucrats and politicians, if you are a credible business group, they will definitely help you.

Along with opportunities, there also exist many other tricky and complex issues to be managed in India. These include tackling both policy-level challenges and infrastructure challenges.

Either you are extrovert or introvert, and so I am an introvert in that sense. I’m not a social person that wants to go to parties.

When you are in the infrastructure sector, you’ve to work along with the government.

I am not attracted to those politicians who are short on vision and only want to make money. I like those who have vision.

Business is all about risk taking and managing uncertainties and turbulence.

When the supply increases, the prices soften. When prices fall, some mines with higher production costs will shut down as they become unviable.

Infrastructure sector is all about building assets for the country. It is part of nation building.

Every economic opinion is associated with a set of assumptions.

A turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird… a social being… capable of actual affection… nuzzling its young with almost human- like compassion. Anyway, it’s dead and we’re gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family.

Trying to pick individual stocks is a trap. I can’t do it. Warren Buffett can, but hardly anyone else can beat the indexes over a long period of time.

Do not let anyone else run your business

Ill put my progressive credentials up against anyones.

In my experience, anyone can paint if he doesn’t have to.

Can anyone expect that a step of this kind will improve the quality of our long-term investments?’

Anyone who puts 110% into their work deserves as much success as they can get.

This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.
