Tablets generally have made it pretty obvious that magazines have a new lease on life.

Land is an emotional subject with a farmer in India because it is his only means of income.

Why do you need to drive a Ferrari to get stuck in a traffic jam anyway? How do people afford these cars?

Rather than lose the public because television is here, wouldn't it be smart to adopt television as our instrument?

Urban development in India... will be the biggest sunrise industry that any country has seen in any part of the world.

As reforms have come into India, as India has started opening up, prosperity is increasing, as is demand for urban housing.

I would just like my children to be able to eat fish when they grow up. Now, I don't think there's anything controversial about that.

You buy a movie, you should get it anywhere you want it. You pay for a network, you should have that anywhere you want. Same thing with a magazine.

The future belongs to brands that do more than pay lip-service to real dialogue and recognise that their customers want them to believe in something.

What any manager will try to bring to a company first and foremost is an energy and commitment to the business. To try and really roll your sleeves up.

Information is the most valuable commodity in the world today and this business is about giving people access to information that is relevant to their lives.

There are bad people and there are bad corporations. Just as there are good people and good corporations. That might seem too black and white, but what can I tell ya?

When a person is dispossessed of his land, there is a reaction and you have to deal with the reaction properly. You just can't deal with the reaction by giving him money.

Competition today is at a more intense level than it has ever before been because the barriers to providing information in the virtual world are so low and the choice of provider nearly infinite.

The reason people talk about cable cutting is they imagine the price burden will get so high that people won't be able to pay it. They're missing something: that the actual price of the electronic package is going down. They've got their Internet, phone, TV, all of it. Now people are using more and more stuff for less.
