Learn from Varghese Kurien's life: Amul chief
Noida, April 5
Citing lessons learnt while
working with Amul dairy cooperative's founder Varghese Kurien, its
managing director R.S. Sodhi on Sunday counselled against being overcome
by fear of failure and learning from it instead.
"Accept failure
as a part of life. Accept it as an opportunity to begin afresh after
imbibing lessons from failure," he said in his address at the 27th
Convocation of Birla Institute of Management Technology, according to a
press release from the institute.
"Be passionate about your work.
Shed impatience to focus on long-term goals and follow a value system
built on integrity," he added.
Describing Amul as being "in the
C2C - from cow to consumer business", Sodhi said that leading a
Rs.31,000 crore cooperative owned by 3.5 million farmers meant sourcing
milk at highest possible prices and selling at the most reasonable
rates.
"This is a paradox in the corporate doctrine of success," Sodhi said.
