We run courses for government school teachers on Sundays. These teachers pay for their own food and stay; the kind of commitment you find in these people is remarkable.

Leadership is the self-confidence of working with people smarter than you.

Success is achieved twice. Once in the mind and the second time in the real world.

Excellence endures and sustains. It goes beyond motivation into the realms of inspiration.

The responsibility of philanthropy rests with us. The wealthier we are, the more powerful we get. We cannot put the entire onus on the government.

Ecology and economy are becoming inextricably entwined, and the world is becoming more conscious of this fact.

If people are not laughing at your goals, your goals are too small.

People are beginning to realize that education is power, that education is money, that education is an opportunity.

If one has been blessed or have been fortunate enough to have got much more than normal wealth, it is but natural that one expects a certain fiduciary responsibility in terms of how that wealth is applied, used and leveraged for purposes of society.

Talent is in short supply everywhere. At Wipro, we are training nonengineers to be engineers.

A girl child who is even a little bit educated is more conscious of family planning, health care and, in turn, her children's own education.

Parents realize their wealth should be used for social good rather than children's good.

I strongly believe that those of us, who are privileged to have wealth, should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged

You must get engaged with people who are far less privileged than you. I think you must devote your time if not your resources... Because it is very, very important from the point of view of the development of our country.
