Life Philosophy
In the words of Madhusudan Kela at his experience in SIMSR,"We had a professor called Dr. R L Bhatia who taught us HR. He said whenever you face a grave problem, remember that your biggest asset are your people. And it is your ability to deal with people that determines how far you go in life. When I reflect back on my career of 25 years, I realize that he was absolutely right. At the end of the day, my people are my biggest strength."
