‘Go after your dream’: Vedanta chairman shares photo with ex-employee who is now a pilot

Posted on September 1, 2022

The metal and mining magnate also explained why he shared the photo with Neha on Twitter. He said that pilots like Neha inspire thousands of other women. “Pilots like Captain Neha are role models for our young girls all over the world. She has proven with her hard work that you can fly as high as you want,” he added.

During my recent trip, a young pilot named Captain Neha Kapoor approached me and said that she used to work for Cairn Vedanta. I was very pleased to hear that the people who worked with us were successful in their careers. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/nQxYV91s8k

India has the highest percentage (12.4%) of female pilots in the world, according to the chairman of Vedanta. “If any young girl is reading this, I encourage you to follow your dreams. Manzil unhi ko milti hai jinke hauslon mein jaan hoti hai‘, said the industrialist.

Agarwal also urged parents to encourage their daughters to dream big and work towards their goals. “…for the parents of our girls, let them know that they can be anything! After all, there is no limit…,” he said.

Agarwal’s life as a business tycoon is an inspiration in itself. Anil Agarwal’s journey from his first firm, Shamsher Sterling Cable Company, to establishing a multinational mining company was not an easy one.

Through decades of struggle and hardship, Agarwal turned the tiny scrap metal business into Vedanta Resources, headquartered in London.

In one of his tweets, Agarwal once mentioned that in 1976, when he acquired Shamsher Sterling Cable Company, he did not have the money to pay his employees’ salaries or buy raw materials.

“I spent days visiting banks to pay my payments, and at night I revived a closed cable factory,” Agarwal wrote.

To make ends meet, Agarwal said he started 9 ventures in various fields: magnetic wires, various cables, aluminum rods, multiplexes with Warner Brothers – “but they all failed, one after the other. However, I never gave up.”

He adds: “As much as I’d like to admit it, the stress of the financial crisis has kept me to a minimum. For three years I fell into a depression, and no one knew about it. I was determined to get back to my life. on the go, so I exercised and meditated as much as I could…”

To escape reality, Agarwal mentioned that he went to the premiere of Sholay in Minerva Talkies and watched my favorite stars walk the red carpet – Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bhaduri, Dharmendra and others. Adding, he said, “I couldn’t get into the hall, but it was enough for me to stand outside.”

Today, however, things are different for Agarwal. He says, “In order to succeed, you must first learn to fail…”.

Agarwal further added, “Those ten years have passed and little did I know that my destiny was about to change forever. In 1986, telephone cables were allowed to be produced in the private sector for the first time. It changed everything…”

In another post, Agarwal shared a lengthy note about how he had to cycle nearly 100km to get his company listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). In 2003, Vedanta became the first Indian company to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

He said that at the networking event he met with top investors from JP Morgan, BHP and Linklaters who were going on a bike ride.

“To challenge me, Ian Hunnam (investment banker and later vice chairman of JP Morgan) invited me to ride a bike with them to Oxford, which was almost 100 km away. I immediately agreed. I am not very athletic, so after a few hours I could hardly continue,” said Anil Agarwal. “I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much pain, but the thought of my company not being listed here hurt me more, so I pedaled even faster.”

Agarwal then managed to complete the trip and win the trust of investors.

“From feeding them Indian food to cycling, I have made sure our investors see the potential of my company and my country,” he said.

In addition, the mining tycoon said his efforts paid off when Vedanta Resources Ltd was listed on the London Stock Exchange.
