Mr M. Thiagarajan is a grandson of Karumuttu Thiagarajan, a pioneer in the field of textiles and the founder of Bank of Madura. A business management graduate, Mr Thiagarajan entered the family business of textiles as a third generation entrepreneur. His passion for aviation led to his establishing commercial aviation company, Paramount Airways, in October 2005. Here’s his take on four questions from Business Line:

Two things that my education/training taught me:

Dare to dream big, to strive to seek and never to yield until success is achieved.

Knowledge is power and discipline the only way to harness that power.

Two things I learnt from my work/real life.

A wise man creates his own opportunities.

A successful business is the direct result of intelligent, courageous decisions.

One quality I look for most in a new recruit.

Confidence and positive thinking.

A book I read recently

The Innovators — The Discoveries, Inventions and Breakthroughs of our Time, by John Diebold.
