am i disturbing your breakfast there was a time a couple of centuries ago when
the religious leadership dominated the world and later as the military machines
on the planet grew the military leadership dominated the world in the
last hundred years democratically elected political leadership's
have dominated the world particularly in the coming decade it is going to be so
that the business and the economic leadership is going to dominate the
world but the business has an albatross hanging around their neck that they're
not concerned about anything else other than their personal ambitions and profit
when such a tremendous responsibility is coming towards business
it's important that the business leaders reengineer themselves from personal
ambition to a larger vision if this doesn't happen we will end up with the
world in the next 20 years a world without leadership because when
a community's offered leadership if they don't take it the trends of the world
are such you cannot reverse it and put it in somebody else's hands so time is
counting for the business to evolve into a leadership position and this cannot be
done if they are thinking you know from quarterly balance sheet the quarterly
balance sheet they need to have a the sense of what the impact of what
they're doing is today over 70% of the world's activity is business human
beings 70% of their activity is actually engaged in some sort of business
whatever kind when 70% of our time energy and involvement is in business I
think unless we conduct it in a way that enhances our own life and everybody's
life around us the whole humanity will go to waste if we continue to do things
which don't mean anything to us in the name of business people have separated
business and life I'm trying to bring it together wherever I go it's the business
of life there is no business and life life is business your business is life I
I happen to be the first time I went to the World Economic Forum a few business
people were very resentful what is a mistic doing in an economic event so I
asked this person who's an American person and I asked what do you do he
said we manufacture computers they were one of the leading computer
manufacturing units hardware manufacturers probably a year later they
got bought over by the Chinese
so I said see whether your manufactured country
our cars or spacecraft or a safety pin it doesn't matter what you manufacture
you might have forgotten but there's only one business the business of human
well-being all this things started only in the interest of human well-being in
the process of doing it you may have forgotten but that's the only business
human well-being and that's my business too that's why I'm here and that's the
only reason why we should be anyway because there is a business of human
wellbeing and as human beings the leadership of the world is moving into
the hands of the business at a very fantastic time I would say in the sense
never before in the history of humanity any generation ever was capable of what
we are capable of today we have the necessary resource capability and
technology to address every human problem of this planet only thing that's
missing is human beings who are inclusive enough to make a solution out
of this in our lives if we do not do what we cannot do that's not the issue
but if we do not do what we can do we are disastrous life it's mine the world
to see that we don't be can't become a weighing disastrous generation like that
everything at hand and we didn't do it if it was not possible that's different
even 25 years ago this was not a possibility
but today if we wish we can find solutions to everything on the planet in
a very short span of time the statistics say that if we spend 15 billion dollars
a year for the next 15 years every child on this planet can be nourished and
educated we have never thought of these things
in terms of raising a humanity we're thinking of raising Indians Americans
and this and that and we're still somewhere else the technological
breakthroughs has broken through all boundaries that we had set in the form
of nation race religion whatever else but still people who are in responsible
positions people who have leadership positions have not broken through in
their own minds and consciousness for which every creature on this planet not
just human beings every one of them are paying a huge price
so this social venture business whatever it should not be an exclusivist group it
should be the mainstream we should run businesses in such a way I'm not talking
about being philanthropic I'm not for philanthropy I'm not for charity it's
time we engineer our businesses with long-term vision see for example I am
kind of inspired a few major businesses in India to take to these things and
they're doing a wonderful job it's time such things happen everywhere I was just
telling this industry leaders major industries have become like nations by
themselves they carried you know half a million people working and the budgets
are almost the size of a small nation I said see in India coconut farming in
southern India is a very popular thing to do
a farmer poor farmer if he plants a coconut tree he waits for ten years
before he sees money out of it because he knows if he takes care of
ten years next 100 years him and the next generation is taken care of a
simple pill liquid farmer does this I said why are you guys going around from
one business school to another school trying to take the cream out you need to
turn the bottom if you want a lot of creams you're just trying to take the
cream out if somebody is just interested in the cream and not interested in the
labor of churning what needs to be churned that amounts to robbery as far
as I'm concerned no somebody wants to just take the cream not interested in
the labor of churning it out it amounts to robbery I said this is what you're
doing you're going to the top spoons and pick
the truck out there because you have the money to pick it up 70% of rural India
lives in a state where hardly there's any educational infrastructure very
rudimentary stuff I said why don't you take one area and invest in the
education in terms of monies it's really nothing if your interest and for 15
years you will have a crop of people who will be loyal to who want to serve your
company because you have educated them and you'll have good human resource
which is going to be the biggest challenge right now finding the right
talent for what you're doing is the biggest problem so few industries went
seriously into this and they're doing this education thing way bigger than us
today because they have the money in other means and now they have the
intention like this many things need to happen we should not think about
investing in people as some kind of a philanthropic activity this is an
investment for the future if you develop a very competent population across the
world you your ability to run the business becomes effortless you know
right now the biggest problem is finding the right people and making them happen
and they are so limited so you have to endure all kinds of nonsense from
everybody around me if the talent was all over the place people would behave
do you see this right now if somebody has little talent he must be little
freaky too along with that he can afford to me no there is a whole lot of
humanity that's been untouched because what is the aspiration of a business
this must be understood the aspiration of business
is not profit the aspiration of business is expansion expansion means whatever
you're doing whether you manufacturing has hit a pen or a computer or whatever
you want it to reach 7.2 billion people it must become an inclusive process if
it becomes an inclusive process and all inclusive process you don't have to
worry about being socially conscious and this and that
anyway it'll benefit people instead of trying to be philanthropic instead of
trying to run our businesses with just philanthropic helpful attitude it's time
we run businesses more sensibly because the idea of business the idea of
ambition is to reach the ultimate possible potential so instead of a
narrow ambition if we just shift it to a larger vision of what are we creating
around us the scope of the businesses can expand phenomenally and people will
definitely benefit because today the business of the economic activity on the
planet is determining the nature of how people live only this happens that
people have good life only then I become relevant you know I'm sitting at my
platform if all the businesses function well and people are well-to-do that is
when after the stomach is full people see still life is not meaningful that's
when I become relevant so I'm setting up the platform through you because if
people have not eaten well and live well then you ask them to meditate they're
not gonna do it the meditation will happen only in the stomach nowhere else
so being socially conscious is fine I'm not trying to get at the concept
of that but it should not be an exclusivist group it is very important
being globally relevant should be the goal of every business because
unknowingly we're all aiming at it but with a very narrow mindset it's time
that we consciously aim our businesses to be globally relevant and for this to
happen one important thing is we have to raise beyond you know you could today
you would fall in love with somebody in another country that you have never been
to your facebook backs and it's it's a really wonderful love affair because you
don't have to meet them a normal now we're going to do trouble a lot of
people are going through life like this so when national borders don't mean
anything in terms of communication and businesses operate across the world it's
time to think globally it is time to think whether what we're doing is
relevant to we are the humanity and a planet that we are if that relevance is
not there there are million other things to do I am NOT trying to speak for one
type of business and against another whatever the business that you're doing
it doesn't matter whether you were manufacturing that low energy consuming
what the car if you can call it a car it's a very cool it's a way because I
saw the handle in India we call this an auto rickshaw
whether you're doing that or you're doing a high energy consuming car it
doesn't matter what you're doing but if your thought evolves to a place whether
what I'm doing is relevant or not relevant
will this expand to touch every life on the planet I'm talking about business
plan not philanthropic plan as to how to expand and touch as many lives as
possible because that is the only way business can expand and long-term
relationships are the only way business becomes sustainable unless what you're
doing is relevant for me for a long time why would I do have anything to do with
you so the good thing about a business person juxtaposed with the religious and
military and other kinds of leadership sees you can never get to religious
people to agree upon anything but if they agree their business will collapse
yes to military leaders cannot agree because without boundaries militaries
will be meaningless there's no boundaries there's no border to protect
militaries will become meaningless political leaders well you know they're
not being able to agree they'll be proving a point in the last month but a
businessperson is willing to make a deal with the devil you if the deal is good
and that's a good sign that you're not deciding with whom to transact and whom
not to transact if the deal is good you're willing to transact that's a good
sign and this needs to happen that you don't make a devil out of some bad man
right now we are busy making one set of people good and another set of people
back it's time you do business at the bank that's the only way you can
transform the situation if you exclude the bag the bear will eat up the good
because bad has more passion and energy always good likes to rest so it is not
about your goodness it's not about your philanthropy I'm just talking about
doing business in a more sensible way what we need is sense not goodness we
don't need good people we need sensible people on the planet we'll do the right
things which will be a solution with good intentions if you look terrible
things what's the point so businesses have to evolve from personal ambition to
a larger vision for the sake of their own well-being don't think of other
people's well-being business person's business is to just run the business and
expand the business and make sure his business is sustainable for them you
must think will my business sustain itself for next hundred years if you
think of sustaining your business for next hundred years there is no way you
cannot think of the well-being of everybody else otherwise you cannot
create something which will sustain so always you know I've been somebody who's
constantly been talking against corporate social responsibility because
you steal all the claim and then you give out a handout and you're feeling
what your guilt with something no there is no necessity to have corporate social
responsibility programs the business itself must be socially responsible
why make profit in all kinds of ways and then give up 2% and feel all right about
it that is just an eyewash for somebody
else I'm saying if your life has to become meaningful 70% of the activity
that you perform if it is meaningless how will your life remaining
cannot understand that only if everything that you're doing in life is
in sync with who you are and what you want in your life if it is not in sync
with that how will I ever become meaningful that for anybody continuing
to do things which don't mean anything to us in our lives is a sure way of
destroying ourselves after some time this activity will cease
if you continue business like this it may so happen the next generation will
not take to it they don't say any meaning in taking on to an activity
which doesn't mean anything to that man it is time that business is structured
in such a way that it means a world to everybody because it sustains and makes
everybody's lives now there are many ways to get to the top but the question
is will you stay there can I tell you you're getting very serious
can I tell you a joke don't be so serious about your breakfast one reason
why human beings do all kinds of nasty things around themselves to each other
and to themselves and to everybody is because they're dead serious about their
lives the serious problem on a certain day a bull and a pheasant were raising
upon the field the bull was grazing upon the grass and the pheasant picking ticks
off the both partnership there was a huge tree at the edge of the field
the pheasant very nostalgically looked up at the tree and said Oh alas there
was a time when I could fly to the topmost branch of the tree now I do not
have enough energy in my wing even to get to the first branch of the tree the
bull very nonchalantly sent it that's no issue eat a little bit of my
dung every day within a fortnight you will reach the topmost branch of the
tree the pheasant said come on what kind of rubbish is that the boots had really
try and see the Holy amenities on it
well he very hesitantly the pheasant started pecking at the dung and low on
the very first page reached the first branch of the tree within a fortnight he
did reach the topmost branch of the tree sitting on the topmost branch of the
tree just beginning to enjoy the scenery an old farmer was rocking on his rocking
chair so a fat old pheasant sitting on top of the tree pulled out his shotgun
and shot the bird off the chick the moral of the story is even bullshit may
get you to the top but he never lets you stay there it's time it's time we do
something sensible because 70% of the world's activities business it's time we
do something sensible not just bull our bills to some sense of well-being
between crash after some time
