Earlier organizations made individuals, today individuals make an organization. It is important to have teams, but the basic functioning and formation of good teams depends on good individuals. - The contribution of individuals

We have not produced brands as far as education is

concerned in India. Seven IITs are the only brand we have

created. We have Jaguar, land rover, Tetley by Tata but we

haven’t built our own brand in the education sector.

 - Need for world-class education brands in India

In today’s world it’s difficult to talk on ethics, morality in

business. But that is where institutes such as Great Lakes

come into place. That is why you are taught about CSR,

morality and Ethics. You should think about a value adding

employment.  - The purpose of

management schools

It’s important that all of us work honestly, ethically and

make all our choices consciously. Every decision

that you make should be towards nation building.

Charity begins from home and you must also stick to it.  - Conducting business

ethically

We are a true, proud and an independent nation only if we

remove corruption from our country. We are independent only

when hunger, poverty and unemployment do not exist

anymore. - Corruption- a deterrent to

our goals

When poverty is reduced then there is buying power, only

then will products made today be sold tomorrow. As Lincoln

quoted, “Equality of opportunity is freedom.”

Our nation is growing not because of its size or democracy, but because of its outstanding entrepreneurs and hardworking people. - Recognition of Indian talent

When we remember our country, we must be proud as Guru Dev Tagore said

in his book 100 years ago. In 1905, he said that India has a tradition where in

a society the strong protected the weak and the rich were generous enough on the society. We did not depend on the

Government then. We better go back to those routes and not depend

unnecessarily on the government.

 - Importance of increasing self-reliance
