ADITYA PURI

 Rian, when he is a young boy,  asks Aditya Puri, his grandfather, "Dadu, how do I get rich and successful?" Rian has somehow learned  Aditya is well known and that his photograph is  regularly hitting the newspapers. 

Aditya ponders and replies:

1.You have to work very hard.

2. You must learn how to get along with people.

3. You have to know a lot of things and remember them.

Aditya Puri is the former MD of HDFCBank.
