Chairman of Tata Sons
“Gurudev, I had the good fortune of becoming a father three years ago. Around the same time, I received a gift from above: the opportunity to play Bhagwan Ram in Ramayan. That experience brought me closer to my spirituality and helped me understand our country's spiritual heritage deeply”

“That is what we saw today—the demonstration of these wonderful 60 initiatives. These acts reaffirm our belief in God and saints. India’s future cannot be determined by technology and infrastructure alone. Its destiny will ultimately be shaped by the quality of its people”
