Indian Businesswoman
I think, in terms of corporate philosophy, I've always believed that you've got to treat people in a very very egalitarian manner in the sense I like to treat people on a one-to-one basis. And I like people to take on a lot of responsibilities because I think with a sense of responsibility also comes a sense of purpose.

It serves individuals and communities, not mass audiences, and it is extraordinarily multi-faceted in the purposes to which it is put.
