Success comes in
Believing you can

I have always believed that the most important
requirement for success is learning never to make
or accept excuses. Around 20 years ago, when I
returned to India, there were many who questioned
our choice of industry. The country had no
significant track record in the domain. In fact,
it was difficult to get financiers willing to
endorse a business model that put an unknown
Indian company up against what till then was the
exclusive preserve of Taiwanese and Japanese
companies.
Yet, we persevered and further persevered on the
foundation of our biggest asset - an unflinching
belief in ourselves. Each time we hit an
unavoidable disappointment, it was this belief
that picked us up and kept us marching. It did not
matter if that meant challenging rigid and
established paradigms. In fact, it is this
attitude that has gradually led to the development
of a different mindset - the Moser Baer mindset -
a commitment to achieving continuous excellence in
all we do.
We overcame apprehensions about the low quality of
India-made high-technology products by
consistently delivering above-grade merchandise to
the world’s choosiest customers. To combat the
popular belief that Indian manpower has low
productivity, we tapped into the big pool of
low-cost engineering talent which has today become
our biggest competitive edge in global markets.
Many thought the lack of availability of raw
materials would be our undoing, but we
aggressively fought back with a quality-driven
value-added vertical integration program.
Likewise, when our geographic position was being
perceived as a bottleneck, we developed our
logistical support with fanatical obsession.
Today, we are jumping the final hurdle, silencing
those that believe Indian technology is about
cloning and not pioneering, through our captive
and cutting-edge research programs.
You'd probably expect a Managing Director to say
that his or her company is different from all the
others. But I'd prefer to let you make that
judgment for yourself. I encourage you to browse

business, our culture and our values. |
