Between my past, the present and the future, there is one common factor: Relationship and Trust. This is the foundation of our growth.

Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep revising my vision. Only when you dream it you can do it.

I am not a believer in religious rituals. I was brought up in the Arya Samaj environment which taught us to shun rituals. Puja, of course, but simple, elegant and brief.

The problem with Indians is that we have lost the habit of thinking big!

The most important external environment is the government of India. You have to sell your ideas to the government. Selling the idea is the most important thing, and for that I’ll meet anybody in the government. I am willing to salaam anyone. One thing you won’t find in me and that is an ego.

We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best – not only the best in India, but globally.

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

Play on the frontiers of technology. Be ahead of the tomorrows.

A motivated manpower is the most important thing.

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

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

Tax is for the poor or the stupid people.

A vision has to be within reach not in the air. It has to be achievable.

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

You do not require an invitation to make profits.

If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.

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.
