Philanthropy is all about sharing. If there's an opportunity to collaborate, we will. Collaborating just for finance is pointless. It has to be like a business collaboration.

I graduated from Kellogg. I studied social enterprise.

HCL and Wipro are largely controlled by one family, so a strife with the board is not possible.

Exposing children to nature, especially at an early age, keeps them grounded.

My mother and father are exceptionally proud Indians. They always wanted to contribute, to give back philanthropically, especially in the field of education.

Schools like Doon or Lawrence in Sanawar didn't decide to create leaders when they started. Look at their alumni list today, and you have a former prime minister, Olympic gold medallist, army generals, cabinet ministers, and leaders in different spheres. Some kind of training started at the school level itself that helped create leaders.

I did not want to be an engineer or be in information technology, and my parents were supportive of my decision.

The important thing for my father bringing me on the board of HCL Technologies was to expose me to our largest asset, which is HCL Technologies.

I am not interested in the technology business, at least not in getting hands-on.

Media really excited me. As an undergrad, I majored in radio, television, and film and did internships with CNBC and CNN. My first job was at Sky News in London.
