• Just serve your customers, nothing else matters
• Customer is not King (Raja), they are king of king (Maharaja)
• Complexity opposes compliance
• Co-operation inside, competition outside
• Commitment matters, Qualification doesn't
• High salary alone cannot retain employees
• Flat organization, fast decision
• Never deviate from your core competency
