अगर आप तेजी से चलना चाहते हैं, तो अकेले चलिए। लेकिन अगर आप दूर तक जाना चाहते हैं, तो सब को साथ लेकर चलिए।
If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together.

मैं सही फैसले लेने में विश्वास नहीं रखता। मैं फैसले लेता हूँ और फिर उन्हें सही साबित करता हूँ।
I don’t believe in taking right decisions. I take decisions and then make them right.

लोहे को कोई और नष्ट नहीं कर सकता, सिवाय उसके अपने जंग के! इसी तरह किसी इंसान को कोई दूसरा बर्बाद नहीं कर सकता, सिवाय उसकी अपनी सोच के!
None can destroy iron, but its own rust can! Likewise none can destroy a person, but its own mindset can!

जिंदगी में उतार-चढ़ाव आगे बढ़ते रहने के लिए बहुत जरूरी हैं, क्योंकि ईसीजी (ECG) में एक सीधी लाइन का मतलब होता है कि हम जीवित नहीं हैं।
Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.

लोग जो पत्थर आप पर फेंकते हैं, उन्हें इकट्ठा कीजिए और उनसे एक शानदार इमारत खड़ी कर दीजिए।
Take the stones people throw at you, and use them to build a monument.

व्यापार को सिर्फ अपने मुनाफे से आगे बढ़कर उन समुदायों के कल्याण के बारे में भी सोचना चाहिए जिनकी वे सेवा करते हैं।
Businesses need to go beyond the interest of their companies to the communities they serve.

हो सकता है इस सफर में मैंने कुछ लोगों को ठेस पहुंचाई हो, लेकिन मैं चाहता हूँ कि लोग मुझे एक ऐसे इंसान के रूप में याद रखें जिसने हर परिस्थिति में सही काम करने की पूरी कोशिश की और कभी अपने सिद्धांतों से समझौता नहीं किया।
I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised.

मैं उन लोगों की बहुत तारीफ करता हूँ जो बेहद सफल हैं। लेकिन अगर वह सफलता बहुत ज्यादा ruthlessness (निर्दयता) से हासिल की गई हो, तो मैं उस व्यक्ति की तारीफ तो कर सकता हूँ, लेकिन उसकी इज्जत नहीं कर सकता।
I admire people who are very successful. But if that success has been achieved through too much ruthlessness, then I may admire that person, but I can’t respect him.

सत्ता और धन मेरी प्राथमिकताओं में कभी नहीं रहे।
Power and wealth are not two of my main stakes.

जिस दिन मैं उड़ान नहीं भर पाऊंगा, वह दिन मेरे लिए बेहद दुखद होगा।
The day I am not able to fly will be a sad day for me.

ऐसी कई चीजें हैं जिन्हें अगर मुझे दोबारा जीने का मौका मिले, तो शायद मैं अलग तरीके से करूँ। लेकिन मैं पीछे मुड़कर यह नहीं सोचना चाहूँगा कि मैं क्या नहीं कर पाया।
There are many things that, if I have to relive, maybe I will do it another way. But I would not like to look back and think what I have not been able to.

मैं लगातार लोगों से कहता रहता हूँ कि वे दूसरों का हौसला बढ़ाएं, परंपराओं पर आंख मूंदकर भरोसा करने के बजाय सवाल पूछें, और नए विचारों तथा नई प्रक्रियाओं को अपनाने में कभी झिझकें न।
I have been constantly telling people to encourage people, to question the unquestioned and not to be ashamed to bring up new ideas, new processes to get things done.

मूल्यों और नैतिकता के अलावा, जिन पर मैंने हमेशा चलने की कोशिश की, मैं अपनी जो विरासत छोड़ना चाहता हूँ, वह बहुत ही सरल है—यह कि मैंने हमेशा सही बात का साथ दिया, और जितना हो सके निष्पक्ष और न्यायसंगत रहने का प्रयास किया।
Apart from values and ethics which I have tried to live by, the legacy I would like to leave behind is a very simple one – that I have always stood up for what I consider to be the right thing, and I have tried to be as fair and equitable as I could be.

मैं बस इतना करना चाहता हूँ कि कंपनियों का एक ऐसा टिकाऊ समूह पीछे छोड़ जाऊं जो नैतिकता और मूल्यों के मामले में एक मिसाल कायम करे और हमारे पूर्वजों की विरासत को आगे बढ़ाए।
What I would like to do is to leave behind a sustainable entity of a set of companies that operate in an exemplary manner in terms of ethics, values and continue what our ancestors left behind.

मैंने अपनी कंपनी में भी यह बात तय कर ली है कि हमें अब छोटे-छोटे कदम उठाने बंद करने होंगे और वैश्विक स्तर पर सोचना शुरू करना होगा। और सच में, इससे काफी मदद मिल रही है।
I have also made this a point in our company: We need to stop taking baby steps and start thinking globally. It really seems to be helping.

जब आप अफ्रीका और एशिया के कुछ हिस्सों में अत्यधिक गरीबी, भूखे बच्चों और कुपोषण को देखते हैं, और खुद को सुख-सुविधाओं में जीते हुए पाते हैं, तो केवल एक बेहद संवेदनहीन और पत्थर दिल इंसान ही यह महसूस नहीं करेगा कि उसे इसके लिए कुछ करना चाहिए।
When you see in places like Africa and parts of Asia abject poverty, hungry children and malnutrition around you, and you look at yourself as being people who have well being and comforts, I think it takes a very insensitive, tough person not to feel they need to do something.

भारत की भविष्य की संभावनाओं को लेकर मैं हमेशा से बहुत आश्वस्त और सकारात्मक रहा हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि यह अपूर्व संभावनाओं वाला एक महान देश है।
I have always been very confident and very upbeat about the future potential of India. I think it is a great country with great potential.

मैं कभी राजनीति में शामिल नहीं हूँगा। मैं एक ऐसे साफ-सुथरे व्यवसायी के रूप में याद किया जाना चाहता हूँ, जिसने पर्दे के पीछे किसी तरह के दांव-पेंच नहीं खेले और जो अपने काम में काफी हद तक सफल रहा।
I will certainly not join politics. I would like to be remembered as a clean businessman who has not partaken in any twists and turns beneath the surface, and one who has been reasonably successful.

बलवान जीवित रहता है और कमजोर मिट जाता है। इस संघर्ष में कुछ खून-खराबा होता है, और अंत में एक ऐसा मजबूत और चुस्त उद्योग उभर कर आता है, जो टिके रहने की काबिलियत रखता है।
The strong live and the weak die. There is some bloodshed, and out of it emerges a much leaner industry, which tends to survive.

मेरे पास दो-तीन कारें हैं जो मुझे पसंद हैं, लेकिन आज के समय में, एक शानदार कार के तौर पर फेरारी (Ferrari) सबसे बेहतरीन कार है जिसे मैंने चलाया है।
I have two or three cars that I like, but today, Ferrari would be the best car I have driven in terms of being an impressive car.

मैं कहूँगा कि अगर मुझे कुछ अलग करने का मौका मिले, तो मैं चाहूँगा कि मैं थोड़ा और मिलनसार और खुला दिल वाला बन सकूं।
I would say that one of the things I wish I could do differently would be to be more outgoing.

मैंने एक ऐसे व्यक्ति के नक्शेकदम पर चलने की कोशिश की जिनके जूते बहुत बड़े थे। उनके जूते वाकई बहुत बड़े थे। श्री जे. आर. डी. टाटा। वे भारतीय व्यापार जगत के एक दिग्गज थे। उन्होंने पूरे 50 साल तक टाटा समूह की कमान संभाली थी। आपको लगभग ऐसा लगने लगा था कि वे हमेशा वहीं रहने वाले हैं।
I followed someone who had very large shoes. He had very large shoes. Mr. J. R. D. Tata. He was a legend in the Indian business community. He had been at the helm of the Tata organization for 50 years. You were almost starting to think he was going to be there forever.

आईटी और पूरे संचार क्षेत्र में स्पष्ट रूप से विकास की सबसे बड़ी संभावना है। लेकिन अगर बात करें सिर्फ आकार की, तो स्टील और ऑटोमोबाइल उद्योग ही सबसे आगे बने रहेंगे।
IT and the entire communications business clearly have the greatest potential for growth. But if you’re talking about sheer size, the steel and auto industries will remain at the top.

ब्रिटेन को एक नई ऊर्जा और जबरदस्त कोशिश की जरूरत है। उसे राष्ट्रवाद की जरूरत है। युद्ध के समय जैसी भावना पैदा होती है, वैसी ही भावना की जरूरत है। देश को जरूरत है कि लोग वाकई यूके को दोबारा देखना चाहें, शायद एक औपनिवेशिक ताकत के रूप में नहीं, बल्कि एक आर्थिक ताकत के रूप में।
Britain needs a real push. It needs nationalism. The sort of spirit that comes during a war. It needs people really to want to see the UK sitting again, maybe not as a colonial power, but as an economic power.

हम कंपनी के भाग्य के लिए जिम्मेदार हैं, लेकिन कर्ज मिलने के मामले में स्थिति बिल्कुल सूखी पड़ी है। इस स्थिति में कोई भी तब तक कामकाज नहीं चला सकता जब तक कि उसके पास भारी मात्रा में नकदी न हो, जो कि हमारे पास नहीं है। मेरी चिंता यह है कि सरकार को विनिर्माण क्षेत्र की कोई परवाह नहीं है।
We’re responsible for the fortunes of the company but this is a bone-dry situation in terms of access to credit. Nobody can operate on that basis unless you have large cash balances, which we don’t. My concern is that the government doesn’t appear to care about manufacturing.

चीन ने शायद दुनिया की फैक्ट्री होने का अपना दर्जा खो दिया है और उसकी जगह भारत ने ले ली है। साथ ही, जब ज्ञान की बात आती है, तो भारत के पास चीन से आगे निकलने की ताकत है। ऐसा नहीं है कि चीनी लोग बहुत पीछे हैं। वे भी वहां तक पहुँच जाएंगे। लेकिन हमारी चुनौती शिक्षा में पर्याप्त निवेश करने की है।
India has probably lost its position to China as the world’s workshop. At the same time it has the power to be ahead of China when it comes to knowledge. Not that the Chinese are far behind. They will get there. But our challenge is to invest sufficiently in education.
