Indian Quotes A-Z by Author |
There is not going to be, we can be quite
certain, there’s not going to be any
action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by China or India or Indonesia or Brazil
unless all developed countries are making
a major effort. It will still be a big job
to get them in, even if we are all making
the effort. But our making the effort is
a necessary condition.

I think the Tata Group’s greatest contribution
to the growth of the Indian economy and
Indian industry probably happened in the
pre-independence era. The Group’s investments
in industries such as steel, textiles, power
and hotels were certainly driven by an entrepreneurial
spirit, but they were driven even more,
I think, by a desire to make India self-sufficient
and independent of its colonial masters
then.

I think the environment has become more
competitive. That has made Indian industry
more concerned with a) its customers, b)
the quality of its products, and c) its
brand image in the marketplace.

We are probably not doing enough to build
the Tata brand globally, but we are one
of the most recognisable corporate names
coming out of India. Apart from size, market
capitalisation and the rest, we are seen
as a poster boy for ethical business, trustworthy
and fair. That’s a model western companies
feel comfortable with.

I’ve never believed protectionism of
that kind will lead us anywhere. I think
you can have certain specific rules for
engaging with India.. for example, not allowing
mineral resources to be taken out of the
country.. but there is not a shred of doubt
in my mind that when you open an economy
you should do it in totality. Foreign investment
adds a sense of competition; we should see
this as a wake-up call to modernise and
upgrade. Companies that do not will undoubtedly
die.

One hundred years from now, I expect the
Tatas to be much bigger than it is now.
More importantly, I hope the Group comes
to be regarded as being the best in India..
best in the manner in which we operate,
best in the products we deliver, and best
in our value systems and ethics. Having
said that, I hope that a hundred years from
now we will spread our wings far beyond
India.

One of the weaknesses of Indian industry
is that in many areas.. like consumer goods..
it is very fragmented. Individually, the
companies might not be able to survive.
What is needed is a consortium of like companies
in one industry, presenting a strong front
to the multinationals. The Swiss watch industry
did this.

I am proud of my country. But we need to
unite to make a unified India, free of communalism
and casteism. We need to build India into
a land of equal opportunity for all. We
can be a truly great nation if we set our
sights high and deliver to the people the
fruits of continued growth, prosperity and
equal opportunity.

I do not know how history will judge me,
but let me say that I’ve spent a lot
of time and energy trying to transform the
Tatas from a patriarchal concern to an institutional
enterprise. It would, therefore, be a mark
of failure on my part if it were perceived
that Ratan
Tata epitomises the Group’s success.
What I have done is establish growth mechanisms,
play down individuals and play up the team
that has made the companies what they are.
I, for one, am not the kind who loves dwelling
on the ‘I’. If history remembers
me at all, I hope it will be for this transformation.

Some foreign investors accuse us of being
unfair to shareholders by using our resources
for community development. Yes, this is
money that could have made for dividend
payouts, but it also is money that’s
uplifting and improving the quality of life
of people in the rural areas where we operate
and work. We owe them that.

The country is now universally recognised
as a nation on the move and takes its place
amongst the successful economies in the
region. The future potential is enormous
but the country's destiny is in our hands.
The time has come to move from small increments
to bold, large initiatives. The time has
come to stretch the envelope and set goals
which were earlier not seen to be possible.
The time has come for performance to be
measured and for allocated funds of the
government to reach the people for whom
they were intended.
