His professional linkages – with the scientific and industrial community in India and with his business associates in the West – have given him valuable insights in the fields of management and current technologies. His managerial experiences and spiritual moorings find _expression in his somewhat unconventional approach to the management of ‘uncertainty, change and complexity’ in living and in life. |
