• Integrity – Any company should be such that people are able trust it. Integrity is very important, whether you are in public service or in private sector, whether you are a multinational or whether you are an aspiring startup.

• Excellence – Strive for continuous improvement, though there is no perfect company or perfect entrepreneur.

• Sustainability – India is about long-term, not about making a fast buck. Don’t fear failure. If you don’t succeed for the first time, you can come up with another idea. Success may not necessarily happen in three years, five years, or seven years; it is about leaving a legacy for decades to come. (Story)
