Q. Hamara Bajaj. Any memories of Rahul Bajaj and the ever-so-popular Hamara Bajaj advertisements?
A. I have no personal memories about Rahul Bajaj apart from some formal conversation during the ET Awards for Corporate Excellence. But I used to value his opinions and comments on issues of business. There is no doubt that Mr Bajaj was a very tall leader of India Inc and his views on matters of business were always taken seriously at relevant quarters. I feel Leaders like him are born rarely. Condolences to his family and their loved ones.
