I am able to compete not because my labour is cheap, but because I can use technology better than others.

I am an analog, slide-rule kind of guy.

I am a self-taught water skier and wind surfer.

I am a very hands-on person, and I like to be involved in driving my business.

The first reactions from Germany and German industry was quite negative. People right from the start were saying that we will steal technology and take it away and move the plant to India and use low cheap labor to compete.

I am sick and tired of the process where everybody tells you that Indian companies don't have the technology and capability. We need to put money where our mouth is and make things happen, and that is what we are trying to do.
