Kotak Investment Advisors boss a 'Sholay' fan, can conduct a quiz on the blockbuster

Raghuram Rajan

For the past couple of months, Raghuram Rajan has been rumoured to be the second most likely to be the next Bank of England governor.

However, the former RBI governor quashed those rumours in an interview recently."It's best a country has someone who understands the political situation within that country and knows how to navigate that," he told the BBC, explaining why he hadn't applied for the top job. "It's obvious I'm an outsider and I have very little understanding of the deep ebbs and flows of politics in that country."

Jose Mourinho

Former Manchester United and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho recently turned down a £88million offer to manage a club in the Chinese Super League, according to media reports. The former manager is believed to have turned the offer because he still wants to manage at the highest level in Europe and dreams of winning his third Champions League. He told Sky Sports, "I am hungry to get back, but I will wait for the right club, for the right project."

Had he accepted the offer from Guangzhou Evergrande, Mourinho would have become the highest-paid manager in history.

Bhavish Aggarwal

Earlier this year, Ola cofounder Bhavish Aggarwal was said to have turned down a $ 1.1 billion deal with SoftBank to retain control of his company. The deal, which was struck in 2017, would have boosted Son's stake to more than 40 percent, a fact that sources say troubled Aggarwal.He grew concerned when SoftBank took a stake in Uber Technologies Inc and encouraged the rivals to merge.

According to sources, the preliminary deal fell apart when Aggarwal tried to include terms to guarantee his own control- like a clause that founders would have veto rights over the appointment of any new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Mark Zuckerberg

In July 2006, Mark Zuckerberg (then 22 years old) called a crucial board meeting with venture capitalists and Facebook board members, Peter Thiel and Jim Breyer to discuss Yahoo's $1 billion offer to buy Facebook. He opened the meeting with "We're obviously not going to sell here" much to Thiel and Breyer's surprise.

At the time Facebook was two years old with $20 million in revenue and roughly nine million users butZuckerberg was of the opinion that Yahoo did not properly value things that did not yet exist and hence was undervaluing the business.

Sundar Pichai

For the last two years, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has declined stock awards from the company because he believed his pay package (a $650,000 annual salary plus perks) was already generous, according to a Bloomberg report.

Some inside sources believe that Pichai's decision could have been sparked by an internal debate arund compensation and pay equity. In a staff meeting earlier this year, one Google worker questioned why Pichai was paid hundreds of millions of dollars, while some employees struggled to afford to live in Silicon Valley.
