Mr. M.V. Subbiah Murugappa Group Interview

This video features an interview with Mr. M.V. Subbiah, the former Chairman of the Murugappa Group. Mr. Subbiah discusses his early life and traditional training in accounting and money lending within his family business. He highlights India's significant economic standing in earlier centuries, noting its contribution to global GDP and manufacturing, and its role in the Silk Route. He contrasts the Mughal rule with the British approach, which he describes as focused on exploiting the country, specifically mentioning Macaulay's speech. He discusses post-independence challenges, including the lingering "command and control" governance style and British laws that are not adapted to Indian conditions. His main goal now is to promote understanding and use of Indian roots, value systems, and business ethics in education to help India thrive globally.
