After inaugurating the platinum jubilee of XLI, Jamshedpur, he shared his insights and inspiration with the XLRI community.

Tata, one of the most ethical companies globally, is praised for its leadership and commitment to helping during crises like the Mumbai terrorist attack.
Tata's commitment to solving problems in various sectors, including electricity in Mumbai, is a testament to its strong ethics. We should be dedicated and involved in our pursuits, much like XLRI's success story.
