• Independent thinker
• Passion for equities. Measured risk taker
• A trader, an investor, a venture capitalist
• Not afraid to make mistakes, but affordable ones
• Made a mistake. Recognise it. Write-off. Move on. Never regrets, but always learns.
• No religion, no emotion, no ego, no rules. But, means remain more important than the
ends
• Accept with an open heart and mind that the only constant is change. The urge to learn
is a journey, not a destination
• Magic of emotion-less leverage, with discipline
• Patience born out of conviction. Be greedy, but be long-term greedy – understanding the
role of time
• His word is his bond, highest integrity
• Loves his independence
