Mergers & Acquisitions

‘The playing field for acquisitions is a little less crowded
than before, mainly because many firms aren’t exactly in a position to be
writing cheques for acquisitions’

— Peter Sands, Group Chief Executive, Standard Chartered Bank
in Business Today.

Leadership

‘Plenty of leaders do not want to acknowledge their
weaknesses. That is fine with me as long as they work at a subconscious level on
those weaknesses’

— K. V. Kamath, CEO, ICICI BANK, in The Economic Times

Other voices

‘Nowhere in the world is so much capital being consumed. As
our consumption goes up, more and more money is required to fuel it’

— Gopal Srinivasan, Director, TVS Electronics, in India Today

Softly speaking

‘Compassion, like a mother’s care, is the essence of moral
ethics. If somebody is ethically or compassionately motivated to do things, his
actions will always be positive’.

— Dalai Lama, in a lecture at IIM, Ahmedabad on ‘Ethics and
Business’
