“ये भी समझने वाली बात है कि भारत जैसे एक विविध देश में, हर जगह की संस्कृति अलग है। अगर आप वहां के कल्चर में कुछ बहार से लेकर कोई चीज थोप देंगे और बोलेंगे के ऐसे ही करना है, ऐसे ही चलाना है, तो नहीं चलने वाला है, बल्कि आप वहां के कल्चर को समझ उसके हिसाब से इकोसिस्टम बनाने की कोशिश करें। लेकिन अगर आप ईस्टर्न यूपी जैसी जगह पर जाएं, या ओवरऑल इंडिया के लिए, ये वैलिड है, यहां पर काफी फैमिली बेस्ड एंटरप्राइज होते हैं”
