- Nov 07, 2020
When people consume, they want more. Then they choose the best, and you suddenly get innovation coming in. Now combine that with desperation and people wanting to get a better life: you have a potent combination for innovation.
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes the only kind of innovation comes when you have some solitude; when you step away.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have no problem with money coming in and spawning competition. I am honest enough to admit that Mahindra & Mahindra would not have been going to the IITs and doing research if there was no competition.
- Seed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You have to seed internal disruptors. You need sources of internal disruption. They don't guarantee your survival, but you have got to try.
- Changed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Old definitions of segments are going to get blurred. Once you defined cars by horsepower, engines. That has changed.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You cannot mean everything to all segments of the markets. You cannot have a brand straddling too many meanings.
- Niche
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The term 'niche' is no longer pejorative.
- Company
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Benchmarking is an ongoing exercise in any company that aspires for leadership.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We don't believe start-ups are the private preserve of only garage start-ups... The corporate garage is going to be the scene of a lot of action.
- Product
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You incubate a product in an atmosphere where that product is best incubated. So, for example, we incubated our electric scooter in California. Because it's low-volume manufacturing but high-intelligence, intensive manufacturing, we are starting in Michigan.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The moment I say I'm going into scooters, they say, 'You're crazy.' Six months later, when BMW comes out with an electric scooter, it's fine. But when Anand does it, because he's some small guy in India, it's not fine.
- Positive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Rise credo is about accepting no limits, alternative thinking, and driving positive change - the three pillars.

Our credo says that, in the end, we want to drive positive change in the lives of our stakeholders and communities across the world, enabling them to rise.

I love the blues, but I love a lot of music.
- Created
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have personally invested in a company created by Rohit Khattar - Cinestaan Film Company. But that's what I do personally.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For too many years, we, as a country, have suffered from a poverty of aspiration.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother was a writer. She acted in one film before she decided that Bollywood wasn't good enough for her. My two sisters and I probably learned from her how to get under other people's skin. In contrast, my father was a simple man despite his success at business. He was a people person, and I think that's what led him to join politics.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you aren't humble, whatever empathy you claim is false and probably results from some arrogance or the desire to control. But true empathy is rooted in humility and the understanding that there are many people with as much to contribute in life as you.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My own ambitions were eclectic. My father ran a steel plant, and I was expected to study metallurgy and end up at the steel plant when I finished high school at age 15. Despite my proficiency at science, I decided against it and instead went on to study filmmaking.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being tied down to a pre-med or engineering track would have slotted me into a very narrow group. Being a young filmmaker allowed me to explore many areas of life and many kinds of people.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Anyone who makes time frames beyond tomorrow probably isn't pushing himself hard enough.
- Company

I think a CEO lives or dies in whether he's been able to hold on to elements of culture that are needed in the company.
- Journey
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The most important thing that I tell myself is that no matter where I go in this journey, the humility is what's gonna keep me honest and real. And perhaps a better manager.

- Nov 07, 2020
One of the demonetization benefits, in some markets like used cars, is that organized, transparent businesses are gaining at the cost of unorganized players.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Social media is one of the most under-rated business tools, in my opinion. It's an amazing cockpit for any CEO. I can narrate any number of stories how it has helped me to reach out to customers, dealers, protesting workers, and even security guards.
- Looking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not a lonely person. I am happily married and not looking for companions on social media.
- Destiny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We often say that the M&M Group's destiny is inextricably linked with India's. Both were born around the same time: India in 1947, M&M in 1945. The group has experienced the same vicissitudes that the Indian economy has.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The more I learn about industry structures, the more I feel that once a company has paid the fee, in a manner of speaking, to enter a sector, it becomes even harder to stay afloat.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My aspiration is that M&M become one of the most customer-centric organizations in the world. If we focus on understanding our customers, we will be able to develop customer-centric innovations.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You have to treat every day as a new challenge, and you have to remain paranoid, as they say.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nothing is 'another day at the office.'
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We see ourselves as being people who want to take India to the world; we see ourselves as being aggressive, assuming risk.
- Memories
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have fond memories of my kabaddi exploits at Lawrence School. I also enjoyed tennis and swimming.
- Cricket
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For any sport to be sustainable, it cannot survive on government or corporate grants alone. The sporting ecosystem needs more investments from businesses, and businesses need to see the returns from their investment in sport. Cricket has achieved that distinction, but I feel a country of a billion-plus people cannot remain captive to one sport.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Indian government is extraordinarily large, and it is difficult to try and believe that one leader can make all the change. This is a federal system.
- Nov 07, 2020
In a large bureaucracy, you cannot exercise the transformation of any situation without coopting bureaucracy.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To me, every decision needn't be a 'big-bang' reform but a signal of proactive decision-making and removal of red tape and bureaucracy.
- Making
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have never shied away from making investments. Even during downcycles, we never stopped our investments.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To me, Scorpio was a big bet and a quantum leap in the kind of sophistication of our products. People forget that, apart from the Bolero and the Armada, until the nineties we never made hard-top vehicles.
- Hardest
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Can a person be inspirational? Does a person have global sensibility? That's the hardest thing to find.
- Auto
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The age of access being offered by taxi-hailing apps like Uber and Ola is the biggest potential threat to auto industry.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The job of automobile manufacturers is to passionately build something that others love to own.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A lot of people who can afford a vehicle are deciding against owning one. They just need access to transport. So, our job is to offer wider choices to consumers with more innovative models.
- Joy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Life has an interesting way of teaching even the most powerful people that joy from wealth is fleeting at best.
- Charging
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just like you have fire regulations, they should have regulations that no building would be made without charging points for electric vehicles.
- Find
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The government should find regulation to encourage ride-sharing companies. Rather than finding impediments for them, regulate them by all means... create a framework by which ride-sharing companies can survive.
- Going
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ride-sharing is inevitably going to be 100% electric.
- Going
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As I have often said, acceptance of the idea of shared mobility is going to be one of the major disruptive trends in the automotive industry.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The market will evolve into two segments: cars that provide ease of access to transport and are shared by many people, and cars that are exclusive, high-end symbols of the owner's status and aspirations.
- Farm
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Autonomous tractors would enable a farmer to focus on the work that matters the most on a farm.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whether in services or in manufacturing, the trick is to stay ahead of the curve. I believe we should not wait to be disrupted - we should become disruptors ourselves.
- High-End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is no business in the world - I don't care what it is, whether it's I.T. or manufacturing - that does not have what I may refer to as a blended resource base. You have high-end work. You have engineering work. You have some local knowledge you require. Then, you have some very low-cost work to be done.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When we heard that America is pulling out of the Paris Agreement, that's unfortunate, but frankly - speaking purely from my competitive juices point of view - we are delighted that somebody's not going to look at these opportunities. They'll be all there for us.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been criticised for being an eternal optimist.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's this old Frank Sinatra song: 'If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere'... that song was about New York, but it applies to America. People know that if you make it in America, you can make it anywhere, and that is both in terms of sophistication and customer satisfaction.
- Courage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nobody understands how the world will change. The only way you can plan for the future is to have scenarios. You have to have the courage to take a leap of faith on one of them.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Shared ownership will always mean that you will never sell as many cars as might have been sold without shared mobility... if people are sharing cars, then obviously you are going to sell less cars than would have been sold otherwise. But it doesn't mean that you will have a deceleration in private cars; it just means that the growth will be lower.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm an optimist about NAFTA merely being updated.
- Nov 07, 2020
The glamorous side is SUVs, but frankly, the tractor side is where we are number one in the world.
- Numbers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you set the right targets, aspirations, and you work efficiently and diligently, the numbers happen.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As far as passenger cars are concerned, I have always said, in the past, we will work more with partners and partnerships. Our focus on our own would be on the SUVs.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The story of rural India is a lack of empowerment: perceived impotence. Villagers are being constantly threatened by an authority. The Bolero symbolizes empowerment.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You go into battle with your strengths.
- India
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Make in India will not work if we take a conventional linear approach. It has to be a leapfrogging into the future, and India is ideally placed to do this.
- India
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It requires a different holistic approach and a recognition that it's not simply a question of stepping into China's shoes. Our 'Make in India' has to be different from China's in the sense that we have to do a 'taal-mel' or 'jugalbandi' of our IT skills that exist and our evolving manufacturing skills and become intelligent manufacturers.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To my mind, the education of children - girl children, specifically - is what really creates an enlightened society. It creates a liberal society.
- Hunger
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Women need a space that quenches their intellectual hunger, engages and empowers them with relatable content.
- Processes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is processes that are important.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have always said that, more than 'big bang' reforms, it is every day what is happening, changing on the ground.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sustainability is a part of our 'rise' philosophy. You cannot rise if you take more from the community than you put back.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
2012 was a good year for the Mahindra Group, as we moved ahead by venturing into new geographies and businesses.
- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you are planning to save the planet, it will not be Tesla that will do it, since only a finite number of people can afford to buy one, even a $35,000 Model 3.
- Business Model
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think the disruptor and the business model of a disruptor necessarily is an indication of the topography of the future. If it did, you would say then that everyone will make high-end electric cars, when the answer is clearly no.
- Direction
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Businesses look for stability; they look for direction.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Branding in electric mobility is critical, but I think what Tesla has also demonstrated is that you can build new brands.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is such an uncertain universe out there that you have to create what I call 'real' options and develop capabilities that will enable you to deal with an environment that will change anyway.
- Accurately
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do believe it is important to be future-ready with a portfolio to be able to deal with however the market evolves. This is better than just forecasting accurately but in having the weapons ready to deal with the uncertainties.
- Must
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
India's states must compete, not march in lockstep, if India is to develop its own path to sustainable prosperity.
- India
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For India's economy to expand as rapidly and yet more sustainably than China's, we need to make our differences into virtues rather than vulnerabilities.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The best way to propel the economy may be to encourage different parts of the country to go their own way.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
