In india, it's hard not to have Gandhi as a hero. To give up everything - including power and money - and to live for his countrymen, that beats everything else. He's a role model of selflessness.

I have a British passport, but the rest of my family have Indian passports, and I am Indian.

I write poems like some people sing in the bathroom.

My father-in-law and I always had great interest in Indian sport. At the Athens Olympics, watching the wrestling event, we started discussing the state of Indian sport - inadequate representation, lack of satisfactory results etc. We thought we should do something about it.

My expertise is running businesses.

If we don't have an egalitarian, equitable, and peaceful society, being very wealthy isn't worth much. If I can make a little bit of a dent in addressing this issue, I'll have done my service.

I'm an introvert. I get my energy by spending time alone. I need that hour or two to myself every day.
