How Big B's words became a business principle for Savji Dholakia

A diamond trader invoked a star recently.

Savji Dholakia, the Surat exporter who says he has given cars and flats to employees as perks, quoted a line from an Amitabh Bachchan movie during a conversation with Satya Narayan Bansal, CEO, Barclays Wealth. Dholakia said he wants to be the best at whatever he does.

Speaking in Hindi, the man affectionately called ‘Savjikaka’ said, “It’s like what Amitabh Bachchan says in a film, ‘Jahan hum khade hote hai, line wahi se shuru hoti hai’.” (The queue starts where I stand). This is not arrogance, but a desire for excellence.”
