The Hindu Business Line : `Work to reinvent for success'

Mr. R. Dinesh, Executive Director, TV Sundaram Iyengar & Sons, addressing a BL Club meeting at the Department of Management Studies, Madurai Kamaraj University.

Madurai , Oct. 17

AFTER business process outsourcing and IT-enabled services, the automobile industry is emerging as a sector offering immense opportunities for growth in the country.

The components sector and the associated services with manufacturing activity will be generating the momentum for more value addition and employment.

Success will be attained to those who learn to be different in performing additions to wealth, be it a venture or a job, said Mr R. Dinesh, Executive Director, T.V. Sundaram Iyengar & Sons, here today.

Addressing the Business Line Club at the Department of Management Studies, Madurai Kamaraj University, on `Opportunities in the automobile sector,' Mr Dinesh said the uniqueness may relate to designing, delivery, cost etc. that require different set of skills in those engaged in the activity.

What will enable them to succeed is a mindset that is willing to accept change and an inner urge to continuously work to reinvent an opportunity and create the same. This requires risk-taking but this is part of the life.

Citing that TVS Logistics has not emerged in a day, he said, what started with just 50 employees, now has 1,600 people.

Everyone should imbibe the entrepreneurial spirit to succeed.

Even in a job it does not matter what you are, position or place but if one looked forward to doing the task better that added wealth to the organisation, growth is bound to happen both for the person and the organisation. He further said that everyone should set a goal for oneself and rationally choose the act, in the context, looking for an opportunity.

While capital is available, the problem rests in handling it and not deviating from the chosen act.

To begin with, one may start with support activities in areas that have growth potential and are not imitative or repetitive in nature. In matured markets, opportunities are bound to be less.

Many are also given to implement and follow what others have laid down, but one should look forward to lay down the rules instead, to succeed and emerge stronger, he added.

Dr U. Surya Rao, Prof & Head, Dept. of Management Studies, presided.

Mr T. Murali, Regional General Manager, The Hindu, introduced the Guest Speaker. Dr C. Chandran, Professor, welcomed the participants.
