Roshni Nadar

“Institutions need a lifetime to realize their potential.”

“Look at the exposure I am getting, and look at what I am learning from people at literally an arm's length. I am truly privileged to have that experience and even sitting and working with people who I have grown up with. You learn a lot from their experiences.”

“It was only when I started handling Treasury Operations that I realised all of a sudden just how much wealth we have. That is a huge responsibility, so I decided to get on with it and learn how to manage it, because I am a single child and have no siblings to share the responsibility with.”

“Along with my dad, my mother's pretty high up there. She's a star! Her interests are so diverse - she's an art collector and a sports enthusiast.”

“My job is to look after all our investments and ensure that we grow.”

“To make a difference, you have to have large aspirations.”

“I did film and television, not having worked in banking or consulting, a very different stream. So I said, 'I'll go to business school, and it will help me decide more on what I want to do.'”

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

“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.”
