I think my greatest virtue is that I have the courage to take tough decisions. As for my greatest fault, I guess I should be a little tougher. The feedback I get always is that I am not as tough and demanding as I should be.
Manufacturing is finite, but human intellect is infinite. Textile is all about manufacturing, and industries like pharmaceuticals are all about human intellect.
Textile mills are not a very high-margin business and have fixed overheads, so it was challenging. But I think it is only in challenges that you get opportunities.
There is nothing similar between the pharmaceutical and textile business.
Innovation means taking risks, and that is where the private sector can play a role.
There will be good times, and there will be bad, but one has to, to the extent possible, take things in one's stride.
