I start with my greatest guru - my mother. I was born in a very poor family and my
father died when I was six. We moved to Mumbai and my mother did menial work to bring
me up. Two meals a day was a tough challenge. I studied under street lights and I walked
bare foot until, I think, I was twelve, I rembmer when I passed the seventh standard and I
wanted to go into the eighth standard, our poverty was such that even to secure 21 rupees
for secondary school admission became a big challenge. We had to borrow from a lady,
who was a housemaid in Chaupati in Mumbai. That was the tough life I had.
In fact, I remember, my passing the SSC Examination - i.e. 11th standard. Those
days it used to be not 10th standard of 12th standard but 11th standard. I stood 11th
among 1,35,000 but I was about to leave higher education and find a job. What helped me
was the scholarship by Sir Dorab Tata Trust. It was just 60 rupees per month and would
you believe that 60 rupees per month from Tatas added so much value to my life that I have
been able to stand here today before you to speak to you.
I am on the Board of Tatas now and it is very interesting that the same Bombay
House where I used to go to collect that 60 rupees per month now one goes and sits there
as a Director on the board of Tata Motors. The turn that these 40 years has taken is very
interesting. It has all been possible because of the chance I got to do higher studies at the
insistence of my mother. She gave me values of my life. She was one of the noblest
parents I have met in my life.
