Penchant for power

As we took an early morning drive from Aurangabad airport (which in itself is a class apart... as it looks like a small government office from the 1980s!) towards our destination, we were awed by the extremely quiet and serene surroundings. The city is literally untouched by the development pangs of the metros that we are so used to, even though we could find the usual agglomeration of MNCs having registered their presence in this historical place.

N. Dhoot, President, Videocon Industries & Chairman, Thomson Tubes Display Systems.
