Excerpts of the interview with

CS V Krishnamurti (V K Murti)*
Interview with a 100 year young Company Secretary! By CS S.C.
Sharada, Company Secretary in Practice, Bangalore who is also Past
Chairman of Bangalore Chapter of the ICSI.
sharada.sc@lexvalorem.com
CS V Krishnamurti (V K Murti) turned 100 in February, 2015. Perhaps
he is the ONLY LIVING GRAND OLD MAN OF OUR CS FRATERNITY
IN INDIA!!
I had the rare privilege of meeting him personally and chatting with
him for nearly 2 hours in September. At 100+ he looks just about
80 but feels and talks enthusiastically like an 18 year old. He was
well dressed in his white dhoti and full shirt and was waiting for me
eagerly at the appointed time. His wife, companion and friend – all
of 92 years – took a dig at him that he was dressed like a ‘bride’ for
the interview ?
I was amazed at Mr. Murti’s elephantine memory, his dedication to
the CS profession (though he is a CA also), his work ethics, his
coherent conversation and his child-like curiosity in understanding
what’s happening with the economy and the world around him.
Listening to him, I got a deep insight into the professional that he
is.
There was no way I could keep all this to myself. Read the excerpts
from this interview. Several gems of wisdom from a seasoned
professional!
* Reproduced from the Chartered Secretary, December 2015.

Gems 9

1. I heard you read the Economic Times (ET) everyday. What

interests you most in that ?
President Mukherjee reads ET every day, must read it for an
hour every day. I was reading TOI earlier. Reading ET now
for the past 15 years. My wife is mad at me that I spend so
much time on ET but I enjoy reading it. It helps me stay
updated. I read about shares acquisition, CEO’s changing
jobs and annual reports of companies. However I don’t
understand the start-up system. I subscribed to profitable
companies like ACC, HUL and have stayed invested for
several decades. I did not speculate. What companies stand
for is important. Intrinsic worth goes up in profitable
companies. My advice would be to invest in solid companies
which provide utility for public.
2. How did you choose the CS course?
I enrolled for CA in 1931 and completed it in 1934 from
Mumbai. There was no CS course in the country then.
Pursued CS from Bennet College in Sheffield, UK, in 1940
through postal tuition. Queen Elizabeth is a patron. Took a
public exam in Bombay - Intermediate & Final and became a
fellow member. In 1956 there were only 40 people in India
with CS qualification. We were allowed up to 5 years to
become members of ICSI. My membership no. is 9. I received
a “Top of 3 senior most Company Secretaries” certificate in
Delhi region from NIRC (proudly displays it). Much later I
got an MBA from Las Salle University, USA. One professional
qualification is not enough. One needs to constantly upgrade
oneself.
3. What is the secret of your mental alertness and longevity?
Don’t worry about anything, dismiss worries. Do not get
disturbed. Ensure there is no mental conflict. Norman Vincent
Peale said “Fear kills more people than anything else.” I
started writing Ram Naam since the last 18 years. (which
means began at 82 years age!). Have written 7.5 million
times. I derive pleasure in meeting targets and climbing up
and progressing. This keeps me away from worries along
with prayers to God. (Mrs. Murti gestures - What worry when
10 Udaan

I used to take care of everything? Big joint family gave lot of

happiness. Others would take care and he had no worries.
He was ‘married’ to the CS profession)
4. What was your approach to work? Did you face challenges
at work?
At work, I didn’t confront any problems at all. Always
deployed different perspectives for solving problems. Never
felt diffident and shaky. Always felt I can and I will, much
before Obama said it (chuckles). Get your priorities right and
shuffle them frequently. One at a time. Learnt this by listening
to cassettes on time management from USA. Your mantra
should be – “I can + I will + set priorities + don’t worry”.
How to make this work ? Groom your successor over a period
of time, not just before leaving. Don’t do everything yourself.
Choose a right person and delegate. As a Company Secretary,
I always focussed on right communication. For example, when
writing letters or making applications to the Government
for approval, my style was - be brief, precise, clear and keep
it short. Hit the nail on the head. Don’t write history, three
lines will do but it must convince the other side to give a
favourable reply.
5. Please take me through your professional life.
Stared my first assignment on 15th September, 1934 with a
Britisher handling taxation of individuals, partnership firms
and foreign companies under the IT Act of 1922. My
professional career spans over 65 years across 3 metros – in
Mumbai for more than 30 years, in Calcutta for more than 5
years and in Delhi for more than 30 years. Worked in General
Motors, the world’s largest automotive company and Good
Year, the world’s largest tyre company. Retired from Good
Year in 1973. Thereafter took up consulting - converted
public to private company, did all types of CS work in Delhi
viz., conversion, approvals and number of public issues. In
the last professional job, I used computers with assistance
for shareholders’ update and dividend payment. Retired from
active profession in the year 2000 (at the age of 85 years !)
and moved to Bangalore. I recall distinctly that CS V Sridharan
(our past Central Council Member) took me along to vote at
Gems 11

the ICSI elections when I came to Bangalore in 2000. When

Companies Act, 1956 replaced the 1913 Act, I wrote a
summary of the provisions and presented it to the
management. Did proof reading and sense reading of 9th
edition of Companies Act, 1956 by Ramaiya. My name is
mentioned in the Preface. I also set CS papers and
contributed as an evaluator.
6. What is your message to corporates and professionals
today?
– Be courageous. Don’t worry about job, promotion, job
satisfaction etc. Focus on the thing in hand. It will take
care of you.
– Don’t get shaky. Be firm and strong. Be bold in pointing
out violations. I think section 54 or 59 makes CS at par
with directors. One of the foreign directors lost his job
because he did not get govt approval. I told him that you
should have told me before the Board meeting and not
after. Be truthful to the Board.
– Be bold in telling the Board what is right and what is not.
No violation should be permitted. Uphold sanctity of the
section. Uphold the rights and duties prescribed under
the section and do not tolerate violation. However, I am
not saying that we can topple boards. A CS should uphold
rights and duties fearlessly.
- Be upright and build your reputation by creating
confidence in the management.
7. You must have qualified when Companies Act 1913 was
in place. After that 1956 Act was enforced. Now it is the
2013 Act. What are your thoughts on the changing
legislation and economy?
During the 1913 Act I was a student. During the 1956 Act I
was working. 2013 Act, I have not read……somebody gifted
me the book. Understand that this Act does not satisfy the
corporate sector as per newspaper reports. Perhaps it is not
drafted with full consultation of chambers of commerce. They
should be the guiding factor since they know where the shoe
pinches. Otherwise changes were made in the 1956 Act. Why
12 Udaan

again changes? Consult Chambers of Commerce and not the

law department.
In the previous legislations also, delays were excused but
not violation. As a professional, we must point out
consequences. We must be a ‘watch dog, not a blood hound’.
I understand that a CS is elevated as a Chief Compliance
Officer. He is responsible to the public, answerable to the
Government and other stakeholders. He must be kind,
considerate, smooth and understanding when public
approach him. There should be no room for high handedness
just because he is elevated as a KMP.
8. Any mantras for good work-life balance?
Umm….(thinks for a while). No specific mantras. I would say,
- Don’t bring work home. After work forget about office
things. Helps you to be fresh. (so relevant in today’s 24x7
connected world!)
- Exercise well. Walk every day. I used to do this in Bombay
daily, come what may. I would play Tennis though I wasn’t
good at it. I love Tennis. Forget about things. Breathe
fresh air and feel fresh.
(CS Murti used to walk around his apartment complex until
a few months back till he had a fall. Even now he moves
around the house independently. After a 2 hour long Q&A
session, he gets up and walks to his room comfortably to
fetch his CS certificates and other documents. He displays
them with child-like pride and joy.)
9. Any specific corporate life experiences you want to
share…how did you handle conflict of interest, office
politics ?
No conflict of interest in buying shares. Was always open
about my holdings.
No office politics ever gotten to me. I had 60 people belonging
to 3 depots in Bombay. I have always tried to help people
and learn from them. People, not awards are dear to me. It is
important how you go about your life. Approach people with
Gems 13

tact and caution. Be careful and diligent. I have dealt with

people at all levels, including the President’s office. I recall
how I wrote to President Radhakrishnan for an appointment
for the top management of Good Year. I began by saying ….
“You had inaugurated the world’s biggest facility of Good
Year…..”. Call and acceptance came immediately. What you
write and how you write is critical. Look at this …I have still
preserved this 1967 meeting confirmation from ADC to
President with my name on it. (shows me the yellowed
document with a sparkle in his eyes). I had the privilege of
meeting President Radhakrishnan for 45 mins. Mr.
Ranganathan, Secretary to Industries Minister also gave me
an interview.
10. You turned 100 in Feb, 2015. Congratulations! Are you
ready to start a 2nd innings now?
May not be. I have lived a full, peaceful life. I am content
with my Raama naama japa.
(His wife adds ………we have seen life. Nothing left now.)
11. Who was or is your inspiration in life?
No great personality in particular. Oh, yes, one electrical
engineer in B ombay who inspired me early in life. He said
personal efficiency is most important. Do as best as you can.
I have been following this throughout my life.
Books are an inspiration…….recall Winson Pele’s “In tune
with Infinite”. I always used to buy books in
airports…inspirational books rejuvenate me.
My advice would be “Read and try to condense and write a
book in 20 lines. It will do wonders for you”.
I had printed out the questions for Mr. Murti since he is
slightly hard of hearing. He read every one of them and
answered patiently and at length. As I got up to thank him,
his words rang loud and clear in my head - ‘Be bold, be Mr. &
Mrs. V. K. Murti courageous, prioritise, delegate, be precise
& brief, don’t worry, help others, be vigilant, uphold the
sanctity of the section and stay fit’.
14 Udaan

I felt enriched with all the take aways I had gathered. I felt
proud to belong to a profession that he belonged to, that he
revered, that he dedicated his life to – the profession of a
Company Secretary. I took his blessings and also his wife’s
who no doubt has played a significant role in his life by being
the ‘invisible and often unrecognized’ woman behind the
success of a man!
I felt honoured to have a got a firsthand account from perhaps
the First Citizen of the CS profession!!

Excerpts of the interview with

Shri S. Ravi Aiyar, FCS
Executive Director - Legal & Company Secretary,
Maruti Suzuki India Limited*
Somebody has rightly termed Company Secretaries as ‘Sutradhars
(trouble shooters or problem solvers) to the modern day Arjunas of
India Inc. Boards. The functioning of most of the boards of large
corporates are generally governed by the prescribed laws, rules,
regulations, guidelines etc. as well as some self-defined standards
and procedures set by companies on their own. The major functions
of a Board definitely hover around its business, from broad business
strategy formulation to setting up objectives and their monitoring.
It is important for any Board to devote its substantial time in strategic
processes that ensure sustained operation and progress of the
Company in the best interest of all the stakeholders. In this scenario,
the position of Company Secretaries is gaining significance as they
hold a vital position in the governance structure of the Companies.
They not only undertake responsibility of running one of the major
functions of an organisation but also aid and advise the Board/
Directors in discharging their onerous responsibilities. No doubt,
the law has rightly recognised the Company Secretary as a “Key
Managerial Personnel”.
In the Indian Automobile sector, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. (Maruti) is
undoubtedly the most popular name which comes in our minds.
Like in most of the large and reputed companies, our members are
making a difference in Maruti too. We are delighted to share the
views of Mr. S. Ravi Aiyar, Executive Director – Legal and Company
Secretary of Maruti Suzuki India Limited. He was interviewed by
Dr. Harpreet Raman Bahl and CS Deepa Khatri from ICSI team who
found his values and beliefs inspiring especially for budding Company
Secretaries. ICSI team found him to be possessing a fine blend of
knowledge, skills, maturity, flexibility, business acumen and above
all pragmatism which helps him to provide effective leadership to
steer large corporates towards sustained growth and success. For
the year 2015-16 he drew a compensation of about Rs 1.80 Crores.
The excerpts of the interview are hereunder:

* Reproduced from the Chartered Secretary, April 2016.

16 Udaan

• Interviewer : Sir, thank you very much for sparing your

precious time, can we start with your background and
your current work profile?
S. Ravi Aiyar : I am about 58, brought up and educated
throughout in Delhi. I have graduated in Commerce with
Honours from Shri Ram College of Commerce and pursued
my Company Secretaryship. Besides, I also did Law from
Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi and am also a
qualified Cost Accountant.
I kick-started my career in May 1981 with a reputed firm of
Cost Accountants and thereafter, worked in different
capacities in the areas of Accounts, Finance, Legal and
Corporate Affairs with well-known corporates such as
Samtel, Dabur, Maruti Suzuki India Limited and Unitech,
before returning to Maruti Suzuki Group as its Chief Legal
Officer and Company Secretary. Since last four years I am
serving as Executive Director – Legal & Company Secretary
and reporting to MD & CEO as well as to the Board.
• Interviewer : Working with Maruti, what do you like most
about your Company ?
S. Ravi Aiyar: I started working with Maruti way back in the
year 1999. Though, initially I was hesitant to take this offer,
but later accepting the same I realized it proved to be a
gratifying decision. This is so because, though the concept
of Corporate Governance has become the buzz word in the
last few years in India Inc., I found Maruti following the
principles of high Corporate Governance as part of its DNA
even in those years. During my interview for the position in
1999, I remember the panel discussing with me the concept
of Corporate Governance quite elaborately. Though I
possessed about 18 years of work experience and believed
myself to be quite proficient, but Maruti presented a great
platform for me to display and enhance my competence
horizontally and vertically. In the course of my interaction
with the Indian and Japanese officials at various levels while
discussing business matters, I found that we thoroughly
examined the intricacies/ nuances of the law and the issues
at hand and then apply them in such a manner keeping best
Gems 17

interest of all the stakeholders. As the business of the

company is constantly growing and enlarging in highly
competitive environment, our role in guiding the business
managers at all levels in the most appropriate manner is well
acknowledged and appreciated in the Company. This in turn
gives me a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment
as a Company Secretary.
• Interviewer: What are your views on the performance
evaluation of directors forming part of Companies Act,
2013? Has it started in your company?
S. Ravi Aiyar: This is a new and welcome concept. While the
manner of performance evaluation of the Board, its
Committees and the Directors is not specified under the
Companies Act, 2013, each and every company will have to
devise its own process. Maruti is a fine blend of an Indian
and Japanese management practices. In Japanese corporate
culture, lot of emphasis is given to group excellence rather
than individual excellence. The same holds true across the
organisation including the Board, its Committees and the
Directors. Based on this culture which has brought enormous
success to the company, the company has a tailor made
evaluation process of the Board, its Committees and the
Directors.
• Interviewer: Board processes are integral part for any
corporate in making the strategies and for achieving the
growth of any company. How do you think Company
Secretary can influence the Boardroom processes?
S. Ravi Aiyar: Maruti’s Board has four Independent Directors
who possess rich experience and come from varied
backgrounds. As they are not closely associated with the day
to day affairs of the Company, it is the Company Secretary
who assists them with certain critical issues which form part
of the agenda. In conjunction with the various functional
heads, the Company Secretary helps in drafting agenda
papers which are comprehensive but not verbose. This calls
for a fair understanding of the business affairs of the Company
including matters of strategy and execution within the
framework of law. Should the Company Secretary possess in
18 Udaan

depth understanding of not only the laws but also intricacies

and undercurrents of the business of the company and at
the same time has the ability to effectively communicate the
same, both in speech and writing, the Board develops great
confidence while taking decisions. This enables the Company
Secretary to ensure that the executive management and the
Board works in close harmony in achieving its short term
and long term goals.
• Interviewer: What are your views with regard to provisions
of Corporate Social Responsibility? How your company is
implementing the same?
S. Ravi Aiyar: Maruti has aligned its CSR agenda with
requirements of the Companies Act, 2013. It has set up a
CSR Committee of the Board and formulated its own CSR
Policy as per the projects mentioned in schedule VII. In 2015-
16, the Company has spent more than two percent of its
average net profits. The three main CSR areas are:
Development of villages around Company’s facilities, Skill
Development at National level and Road Safety. The Company
is supporting 126 ITIs across the nation skilling over 14,000
students annually. It has trained over 2.8 million people in
safe driving since the inception of the programme in 2000.
Its sanitation initiatives have benefitted over 1.5 lakh people
in Manesar, Haryana. In my opinion, while undertaking CSR
activities companies must align their efforts in such a manner
that while benefitting the society at large it also
simultaneously complement the Objects of the Company.
• Interviewer: Companies Act, 2013 has enhanced the
transparency level. Do you agree?
S. Ravi Aiyar: The new Companies Act has introduced
numerous and extensive changes relating to governance,
transparency, disclosures, responsibilities of directors, etc.
However, whether the Act will augment the extent of
transparency will to a large extent depend upon the extent
of transparency already prevailing at the time of the
implementation of the Act. Those companies whose levels of
governance were lower will now be constrained to be more
Gems 19

transparent. However, at Maruti since high governance

standards and transparency were already ingrained across
the business spectrum, we don’t see any significant effect
on the Company.
• Interviewer: What are the reactions of the management
on Secretarial Audit?
S. Ravi Aiyar: As a conscious and vigilant organization, our
company had instituted a periodical audit of Legal &
Secretarial functions as part of internal audit program. Ours
is a system and processes driven company and forms an
integral part of the Company’s internal governance structure.
The Company fosters a culture in which high standards of
ethical behaviour, individual accountability and transparent
disclosures are ingrained in all its business dealings and
shared by its Board of Directors, management and its
employees. The Company has established systems and
procedures to ensure that its Board is well informed and well
equipped to fulfil its overall responsibilities and to provide
the management with the strategic direction needed to create
the long term and sustainable shareholders value. After
Secretarial Audit has become mandatory we get the audit
done by a firm of Company Secretaries in Practice. The Board
and the Management has welcomed this development as this
report is addressed to the shareholders of the company which
leads to transparency and confidence amongst the
stakeholders.
• Interviewer: Besides professional skills in young Company
Secretaries, what is the importance of acquiring soft skills?
S. Ravi Aiyar: My advice to young Company Secretaries is
that apart from robust knowledge of the subjects they should
constantly develop their soft skills with a view to effectively
transmit their knowledge to both the management and the
Board. Felicity of expression both in writing as well as speech
is paramount and can be developed steadily by building a
strong vocabulary base. This could be acquired by constant
reading of standard text books, journals and other literary
work of high order. Further, young Company Secretaries
should periodically meet amongst themselves and also senior
20 Udaan

members and interact with them to boost their knowledge,

skills and above all confidence.
• Interviewer: How do you maintain a work life balance in
Maruti?
S. Ravi Aiyar: Foremost, we make people to feel at home in
Maruti. How we do it is by way of practising an open office
culture, very little hierarchical hindrances, easy
approachability of senior management, same uniform culture
and common lunch room and constant encouragement to give
ideas for continuous improvement. The Company provides
in-house gym and recreational facilities and has recently
shifted to a five days week. Also well-known speakers from
all walks of life are invited to share their wisdom for attaining
equilibrium in all aspects of life.
• Interviewer: What are your views about Chartered
Secretary?
S. Ravi Aiyar: The style and the contents of the Chartered
Secretary journal are marvellous and contain very useful
information by way of varied articles and government
notifications and digest of legal cases all at one place. It is a
great medium of communication between the Institute on
one hand and the members/students on the other.
• Interviewer: What are your favourite avocations?
S. Ravi Aiyar: Over the years I have developed spirituality
and I like to start my day by showing respect and love to the
five Gods who fill my day with sprightliness. I am always
very open to learn from others who have excelled in their life
such as Amitabh Bachchan. I am inspired by his ‘Never Say
Die’ attitude in reel as well as real life. Similarly, I watch sports
and learnt ‘Haarna nahi hai, Jeetna hai’ attitude. I always
admired cricketer Sunil Gavaskar facing hostile fast bowlers
of his era without even wearing a helmet and playing
sustained long innings. Besides, I like reading self-
development and also management related books.
• Interviewer: what are your three most primary strengths?
S. Ravi Aiyar: 1) Discipline in thoughts, words and deeds
Gems 21

(my mother instilled that in me from childhood itself and made

me to wake up by 5.30 am), 2) credibility (whatever I commit,
I execute) and 3) Being indefatigable (fatigue should not
overtake you).
• Interviewer: Your advice to young CS Students and
Members.
S. Ravi Aiyar: The essence of my long experience in the
profession is as under:-
– A single professional course like the Company
Secretaryship pursued intensively would help you attain
great heights provided you are also open to learning
things and matters which are not part of curriculum.
– You have to put in sustained and dedicated work in small
measure every day, day after day. Towards achieving this,
discipline is the key in your personal life. Set in writing
your short term and medium term goals and measure
your achievements against them periodically and reset
the same from time to time.
– Company Secretary should not only constantly develop
their core competencies but also develop comprehensive
business sense so as to bring significant and visible value
to the corporates they work for or render services.

Excerpts of the interview with

Shri Bhim Sain Bassi
Commissioner of Police, Delhi*

1. We congratulate you on your much deserved elevation to

the position of Police Commissioner, Delhi. What
contributed to such great professional success?

Thank you very much. It may not be very appropriate on my

part to make any definite assertion on this. However, in view
of the question I may state with all humility that my diverse
experience in policing coupled with seniority, perhaps,
persuaded the government to consider me suitable for
shouldering the responsibility of Commissioner of Police,
Delhi.

2. This position would have enormous challenges, while

offering you enormous opportunities to serve the citizens
of National Capital Delhi. What are the challenges you
visualize and how would you deal with them? How would
you use this opportunity to serve the society?

Challenges confronting my job offer me tremendous

opportunities to serve the citizens of Delhi. Briefly speaking,
effective prevention and detection of crime and maintenance
of law and order affords me the opportunity to give people a
safer environment in Delhi. Responsibility of traffic
management in this mega city enables me to ensure safer
road journies for the road users in Delhi. I may also add that
my endeavour will be to encourage community participation
in policing and to instill a spirit of service among policemen
in carrying out their tasks.
3. How do you propose to upgrade police force to deal with
violations of economic legislations?
Delhi Police has an adequate capacity to handle economic

Gems 23

crimes. My endeavour will be to further upgrade knowledge

and skills of the concerned officers by suitable training and
sensitisation. It may involve interaction with the corporate
world including the Institute of Company Secretaries of
India.
4. The position of Police Commissioner of National Capital is
a role model for rest of the country. How do you intend to
play this role?
I do not know whether I can claim any such distinction.
However, I am clear in my mind that I will like to organize my
functioning with an eye on justice as the end result of my
efforts.
5. How do you reinforce ‘with you for you always’?
My endeavour will be to motivate my officers and men to
give their best.
6. How do you view the new company law? Would it be
effective in protecting the interests of small investors?
I am not fully aware of its contents. However, I understand
that it removes various shortcomings in the existing Company
Law. In my opinion interest of the small investors will be
better protected if lifting of corporate veil and is made well a
defined activity whenever fraudulent use of managerial
authority is proved on the part of management.
7. In a country like India, how do you see the future of
professionals?
Future belongs to professionals. In particular, Company
Secretaries are going to play an important role in corporate
probity.
8. If given a chance, how would you like to reform the
education system in India?
I would like to make it student friendly.
9. What is your message for the youth of India?
Work with dedication and with positive attitude.

Excerpts of the interview with

Shri Chandra Shekhar Verma
Former, Chairman, SAIL*
1. The country is blessed with a new Company Law which
would become the constitution for governance of over a
million companies. What are your expectations from this
new law and how it would change the way the companies
and its Board of Directors operate today?
The Companies Act, 2013 replaces the old Companies Act,
1956. The new law allows the country to have a modern
legislation for regulation of Corporate Sector in India. The
Act, amongst other aspects, provides for business friendly
corporate regulation/pro-business initiatives, e-governance
initiatives, good corporate governance, Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR), enhanced disclosure norms, enhanced
accountability of management, stricter enforcement, audit
accountability, protection for minority shareholders, investor
protection etc. The new Act provides lesser government
approvals and enhanced self-regulations coupled with
emphasis on corporate democracy.
The new law provides for electronic voting for Board and
Shareholders meeting. Further, it has also been made
mandatory for listed companies and prescribed class of
companies to have Audit Committee, Stakeholder
Relationship Committee, Nomination & Remuneration
Committee and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.
The new law also provides about the content of Directors
Report to be elaborated which includes the existence and
effective operations of systems on compliance with all
applicable laws. The Secretarial Audit has also been made
mandatory for listed companies. These changes will have a
lot of positive impact on the operational aspects of the
Companies and its Boards.
* Reproduced from the Chartered Secretary, October 2013.
Gems 25

2. The reliance on professionals to undertake second order

state functions has been increasing. They are increasingly
called upon to discharge their responsibilities with due
care and diligence keeping the public interest upper most
in their mind. Do you think these professionals are
adequately equipped and there is an effective
accountability framework?
In the present context, the professionals are fully equipped
to discharge their responsibilities with due care and diligence,
keeping the public interest uppermost in their mind. In the
present context, the various provisions, guidelines have been
inbuilt under the Companies Act, SEBI Act and various
guidelines have been issued by Dept. of Public Enterprises.
Primarily, these provisions/ guidelines deal with adequate
representation of Independent Director on the Board, stricter
norms on corporate governance, constitution of Audit
Committee, etc.
3. Do you think public sector companies and private sector
companies have the same level playing field? What
according to you are the implicit benefits and privileges
that a public sector Company enjoys vis-à-vis a private
sector company and vice versa?
The public sector companies have been major source of
strength to the nation’s economy .The PSEs have grown from
strength to strength in post liberalisation era too. This
certainly goes on to substantiate that public sector companies
do have the potential and the wherewithal to compete in
the present competitive times. At the same time, they are
subject to mechanisms or systems like multiple agencies for
scrutiny and control, which somewhat affects the speed of
decision making and promotes a culture of risk-aversion. It
is heartening that government recognises this as challenge
and are working towards more and more empowerment of
PSEs.
4. How do you compare Indian PSUs with those in other
countries? What are your challenges in competing with
your international peers?
Indian PSEs are comparable to the best in the world when it
26 Udaan

comes to competiveness, corporate governance and adoption

of new technologies keeping pace with the changing
economic paradigm. Time and again Indian PSEs have
successfully faced challenges posed by increasing competition
from domestic companies as well as from multinational
companies. Many Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs)
today have successful operations in foreign countries. They
have set up subsidiaries, have formed joint ventures and have
also acquired companies and commercial assets outside the
country.
There are some major differences between our PSEs and
those in other countries. For example in China, the
government gives enough empowerment to its State owned
enterprises subsequent to signing of MOU between its SOEs
and the government. Also many other countries and their
governments undertake active advocacy for their public
sector companies or State owned enterprises (SOEs), be it in
acquiring a right or permission to operate or to settle
disputes.
5. You have been leading a Maharatna company. What are
the challenges of such leadership and how do you hold
out as a model for 100 other smaller public sector
companies?
Potential for growth and opportunities available in Public
Sector are unmatched. Being at the helm of a mega
enterprise or a Maharatna PSE poses a number of challenges
and at the same time offers opportunities. Its sheer size and
operational complexities demand intensive strategic planning
and meticulous implementation. Continuous improvement
in each facet of operation is required and has to be a thrust
area be it technology, production, projects, research and
development, human resource management et al.The mantra
has to be ‘better your best‘and this collective mindset builds
the right culture of the organization.
6. Do you think in the current legalised and dynamic business
environment, public sector companies are well equipped
and have the necessary flexibility to deliver on their
objectives?
Gems 27

I feel that all the regulatory and control mechanisms that

are used to govern the PSEs lend some advantages in dealing
with the dynamic and legalized corporate environment. At
the same time regulations and control mechanisms at times
interfere with speedy decision making and compromise on
required flexibility in operations. In the fiercely competitive
corporate world where time is invaluable, such delays cost
business opportunities.
SCOPE has been advocating greater autonomy to the PSEs.
The government has committed itself to a strong and vibrant
public sector and taken many favorable steps. It is also
believed that another round of policy initiatives is in the offing
for operational and financial autonomy of PSEs.
7. Can you please cite a few best practices for which SAIL is
known and you feel proud of?
SAIL offers huge opportunities to each and every employee
to acquire new skills and to contribute. Successful
accomplishment of tasks is the greatest motivator for the
huge workforce of SAIL. This is reflected in the highest
number of Shramand Vishwakarma awards bagged by SAIL
year after year.This entrepreneurial culture is the biggest
strength of SAIL in my opinion.
As regards the framework of the organisation, SAIL has
robust yet dynamic practices, systems and procedures in
every discipline be it supply chain, production, projects,
finance, human resource management etc. which have
withstood the test of time for more than half a century. This
gives a strong foundation to the organisation.
The SAIL’s firm commitment to practice the highest standards
of corporate governance by ensuring transparency,
disclosures and reporting that conforms fully to laws,
regulations and guidelines is also a recognised strength
which helps SAIL in its business dealings.
8. The position of Chairman of SAIL obviously deprives you
of small privileges of life. How do you balance your
professional life and personal life?
I will not deny there is pressure on time at this position.
28 Udaan

However it is a small price to pay for the huge opportunity

you have to contribute to nation building. Having said that,
however, I must give credit to my family for being extremely
supportive and being a source of constant strength to
me.Spending quality time with family members and listening
to music are my stress busters and I enjoy that whenever I
can.
9. Do you have any message for the youth of India?
I find the younger generation is very well informed, sharper
and ambitious which is very good.
At the same time, I wish to give them only one message ‘be
prepared to work hard to achieve your goals for there is no
shortcut to success’.
