THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Innovation

"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new." - Steve Jobs

TOPIC OF THE DAY

A Natural Kind of Innovation

“How to innovate? That’s a hot subject in company corridors, management schools and elsewhere, but that’s not the thrust of what I want to share today. Rather, I would like to shed some light on who innovation has taken place on different occasions – and in different ways – in the Tata group. The message I want to convey starts with the idea of innovation as it evolves in human beings.”

- R. Gopalakrishnan, Director, Tata Sons
