'We're taught to deal with uncertainties'

Expressing his dislike for “regulated autocratic economy”, industrialist Anand Mahindra on Wednesday said business people need not always look for certainty. “A regulated autocratic economy that looks for certainty and I don't want to be part of that," Mahindra, vice-chairman and MD of Mahindra & Mahindra, said at the World Economic Forum. “After business school, when I came to India all I found was certainty... India is a regulated economy. People forget, when we were in Licence Raj and in a social driven economy where certainty is (the) norm, you hunger for uncertainty.”
