My take on Think with Me

Subrata Roy Sahara knows how difficult it is to reach where he is, success is always hard earned and being successful in a country like India is even more difficult. Now, you must be wondering what a vague statement is that, but let’s get deeper into it. Starting with the overpopulation, getting into a good school, a better college is so difficult, there are times when even 99% marks are not enough for getting into a college where you’ve always dreamed of studying.

Citing the same problem of population, businessmen face a strong competition and mind you this competition is cut-throat. And it is so, only because there are lots of people doing the same business. Earning money in our country is hard. How does one rectify this and make living in India a fairly easy? We are constantly working hard and failing to be happy with our lives, what will make this better?

When we look at the professionals in the western countries, we see how well organized their lives are, how comfortably they reach work and come home at the same time daily and spend time with their families. Unlike us, we struggle to reach our offices, courtesy packed public transport, traffic or bad roads. Most of us don’t ever leave office in time as all of us are over-worked and burdened, doing work worth two employees. The list goes on and on.

Saharasri, in ‘Think with Me’, discusses population, education and all the other factors he thinks, if fixed, will lead India in becoming a better and ideal country! It’s a book, I highly recommend to all the people who keep wondering where is our country going wrong and is not progressing as fast as it should. Also, to all those people who consider themselves as concerned citizens.

‘Think with Me’ has given me a better understanding of our Country and I will do my best to contribute to its betterment!

Why I want to read Saharasri’s ‘Think with Me’

After reading ‘Life Mantras’ by Mr Subrata Roy Sahara, I am a changed person. With all the situation that he has been into and he has still maintained such a positive attitude towards life, I am truly impressed and inspired by Mr Roy! This is my reason one for wanting to read ‘Think with Me’.

Besides this, I consider myself as a concerned citizen of India, and I work hard and pay taxes, yet I see the country only going down the drain and not progressing at all. If at all, there is any progress, it is slow as a snail or as invisible as the wind. I totally fail to understand what is going on, I am reading about other countries becoming a powerful nation and don’t get me wrong, I read about India progressing too, launching new satellites and making powerful nuclear ammunitions BUT what about the common man like me? Our life is only becoming tougher and tougher, the roads aren’t smooth, the public transport is always over-crowded and getting in good education institute is almost getting next to impossible.

So, after ‘Life Mantras’, I have been looking forward to its sequel that is named as ‘Think with Me’. Saharasri is an extremely intelligent man, and this very intelligence and his reasoning skills have made him the man that he is and build an empire this big. I wanted to know how he thinks we can make India a better country and I literally want to ‘Think with him’. He has discussed the fundamentals of making India an ideal country, along with issues such population, education system, media and religion, electoral system & leadership.

I am sure, Mr Roy would’ve discussed these in minute details and the book will give me a fresh perspective on why India isn’t getting better for the common public and how to make it better.

Saharasri and Think with Me

Nearly everybody at some point in their lives have pondered or considered about the “secret” of being successful. While there are many individuals who will give you guidance on this topic but these people have very little success to give them the right to talk about ‘secret’ to success. Although, Subrata Roy is an exceptionally successful man.

He is a man that has effectively begun his own organization with almost no capital and slowly transformed it into one of the greatest organizations of the world. To be exact, he started with INR2000 (about US$32) and 3 workers in 1978, and as on today, Sahara’s worth is INR1,73,000 crores (about US$26 billions). All this was accomplished within a span of just thirty- eight years!

"Sahara" is an organization that was one of the first Indian organizations to have an unmistakable worldwide recognition. It had interests in different divisions and was a flourishing and prospering business that has given employment to a huge amount of people in India. 

Subrata Roy has recently launched ‘Think with Me’ a sequel to 'Life Mantras' which was released in February last year i.e. February 2016. 'Think with Me’ is a book that talks about the fundamentals of making India an ideal country. Issues revolving around Electoral system & leadership, population, education system, media and religion discussed in this book.

Saharasri has shared his thought provoking beliefs which will literally make you think with HIM, understand his thoughts behind how what he thinks can make India an ideal country. The book will act an eye-opening for many citizens and every patriotic, concerned citizen will have similar opinions and thoughts as Subrata Roy Sahara.

So, if you need some food for thought about how to make India a better nation, pick ‘Think with me’ by Subrata Roy Sahara a.k.a ‘Saharasri’.

Fundamentals for making our country ideal - 'Think with me'

Subrata Roy Sahara needs no introduction, the world has seen him grow into the successful businessman that he is and in spite of all his success, he has still managed to remain one of the humblest people you will ever come across. What makes him stay so humble and positive in life is not a secret, he has written a book on it called “Life Mantras”, which has been a bestseller for a while too.

So, after ‘Life Mantra’ comes ‘Think with Me’, a book from Saharasri’s trilogy. In ‘Think with Me’, he basically focuses on how to make India, our country an ideal one. We all know how our country is facing problems of various types, be it education, the religion and media degrading, political leadership, over population, etc. We often end up wondering what is it that we can do to make India a more livable place. Doubts like is the democracy really not helping India become better? Why aren’t we progressing despite so many efforts in the form of schemes, bills, laws etc.? Why aren’t our leaders able to do anything to fix the situation and make our country better?

Many young adults are indulging in a phenomenon known as ‘Brain Drain’, because the overall lifestyle and stand of living in our country is deteriorating with time as opposed to other countries which are only getting bigger and better. This is definitely not going to do our country any good as if you understand the situation, the brightest and most intelligent people are educating themselves from India and when it is time to use this very education and intelligence, they prefer to settle down in another country, adding to their grown and overall improvement.

‘Think with Me’ is more of an eye-opener for many and even if there will be some thoughts that you may not agree with, but the overall book is something every concerned citizen of India will agree with..

Thoughts on ‘Think with me’ by Subrata Roy

With great power comes great responsibility

“Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.” Who doesn’t want to achieve success in life? Today, we all know the importance of success. An individual is recognised in the society based on his/her potential of success. When we take success to another tangent, it could perhaps be a myth, not everyone likes to or wants to share their secret to success. However, we always have exceptions. Highlighting the exception in this article, he is none other than Subrata Roy. Possessing his own company, he is among those generous souls who shares his secret to success. ‘Sahara’ is the company that was one among the first Indian companies to have an evident global presence. Covering various sectors, Sahara flourished to the fullest wherein millions of people were employed at one point of time.

“Think with Me” by Subrata Roy is doing exceptionally well across. It emphasizes our day-to-day concern in regards to political leadership, population growth, education, the media and religion going from bad to worse. Don’t you want to know what went wrong? Why are we facing these horrid problems? “Think with Me” is an answer to all the above concerns. This book involves Mr Roy’s years of experience where he discusses problems related to the above five fundamental issues. He has liberally shared some of those experiences in detail throughout the book. Along with it being an interesting read, it’s also a great guidebook that values the sacred for the love of the country before independence.

Thus, Mr Roy, through a deep-seated & thought provoking commentary on these issues invites you to think along with him and muse over these issues honestly and sincerely. Subrata Roy has been the man who takes responsibility for his actions. In this book, he talks about the need for a wider awakening on the issues mentioned above.

Saharasri offers gratitude to all who stood by Sahara in difficult times

Life Mantras – a manual for positivity

The world at any given point of time is filled with people that are successful and can teach about it to other people so that they too can prosper. Many people have the capability to be that kind of a person but those that actually care about the rest of us are few in number. Mr Subrata Roy is a man that can be considered as a part of the latter group. He is the former chairman of the Indian multinational conglomerate ‘Sahara Group’. ‘Sahara’ is a business empire with interests in various sectors of business and the Subrata Roy is the man who built it from scratch!

He started the company with a few thousand rupees in capital and not more than a few employees. In a relatively short time, Subrata Roy managed to turn the fortunes of the company soaring skywards. He took charge of the company and instilled a specific work ethic among his huge workforce. He looked upon them as members of his extended family rather than people that work for him. This philosophy is what guided him in his path according to his informative book, ‘Life Mantras’.

Mr Subrata penned the book while he was going through a major difficult time in life. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of his life, he chose to ruminate on the positive qualities in life that made him a successful man and compiled them all into a single book, ‘Life Mantras’. It has some of the best advice to achieve a balanced and positive outlook in life. Along with a positive outlook, the book is filled to the brim with real life experiences of Mr Subrata that had an impact on him or taught him the value of something important. These experiences have been drawn from both his personal life and professional life.

The book has Subrata Roy’s thoughts on almost all the important things in life like marriage, time, love, respect, dedication, resilience, usefulness etc. The mix of topics is eclectic and it has a wonderful effect on your personal motivation after just one reading session. 

The secret of staying positive

Almost everyone at some points of time in their lives, have wondered or mused about the ‘secret’ to success. While there are many people who seem to offer advice on that topic with not much to show in terms of credentials, Subrata Roy is an exception. He is a man that has successfully started his own company with very little capital and gradually turned it into one of the biggest companies of the world. ‘Sahara’ is a company that was one of the first Indian companies to have a tangible global presence. It had interests in various sectors and was a thriving and flourishing business that employed millions of people at one point of time.

Subrata Roy is currently penning the sequel to his successful book, ‘Life Mantras’ which was released some time back. ‘Life Mantras’ is a book that is filled with pearls of wisdom relating to success. These pearls of wisdom emanate from Mr Roy’s life as a businessman and his various experiences during his life time. He has generously shared some of those experiences in detail throughout the book. Along with it being an interesting read, it is also a great guidebook to finding success in all the key areas of life.

There are amazing insights in the book about staying positive in life. It also has some meaningful words on handling one’s composure through the tough times. This was and remains to this day, Subrata Roy’s most inspirational quality. He has faced all of his life’s experiences with a great amount of humility and dignity. There are many men that will stand proudly when people talk of
their successes but there are very few men with enough guts to own up to their mistakes and take some responsibility. Subrata Roy has always been the man that takes responsibility for his actions.

He talks about the meaning and importance of ‘responsibility’ in great detail throughout his book, ‘Life Mantras’. Anybody that is looking to add some kind of structure to their lives should read this book. It has guidelines for attaining a peaceful work-life balance that most people can only dream about.

SEBI : SAHARA ISSUE MISCHIEVIOUS STATEMENT BY SEBI LAWYER Mr.DATTAR

We object to misleading statements made by Sebi lawyer, Mr. Arvind Dattar in public and media. His statement in media tends to mislead by creating an impression as if 'Saharasri' Subrata Roy Sahara wanted to go abroad before incarceration.  The fact however is that, 'Saharasri' was abroad and immediately returned to the country on being summoned. In November, 2013, the Hon’ble Supreme Court had restrained ‘Saharasri’ and other directors from leaving the country without permission. It is very important to state that subsequently Saharasri was granted permission by Hon’ble Supreme Court to travel abroad for two weeks, yet he did not go abroad. It is therefore clear that the statement given by SEBI’s senior lawyer Mr. Dattar is absolutely incorrect.

In 2012 Sahara has repaid to 95% of its Investors.  Nobody believed that.

But now Sebi in their 4th all India Advertisement through around 144 publications has clearly said that this is the last chance esteemed Investors to lodge their claims with SEBI seeking refund.

For last 43 Months uptil, now demand of repayment to public is only Rs.52.80 crores whereas Sebi already has Sahara's around Rs.13700 crores (with interest earned) available with them and till now Sebi has refunded to public only Rs.51.84 crores. Above all we have to pay Rs.5300 crores (including B.G. of Rs.5000 crores) more to get the bail of chairman and two directors. Also Sebi is holding land asset worth around Rs.40000 crores.

So Sahara is giving security of Rs.59000 crores for only around 104 crores repayment to public to be done by Sebi ever. Sebi do not agree worth of land asset as Rs.40000 crores, They say it is Rs.20000 crores. Even then it is 39000 crores security against Rs.104 crores requirement for repayment to public.

The fact also remains, that Sahara did everything as per law prevailing at that time. Sahara did this OFCD business with written permission of 3 Registrar of Companies under Ministry of Corporate Affairs. For continuously 7-8 years registrar of companies took our balance sheets etc, received the submission of prospectus, did dozens of inspections and investigations, we filed our return every year with registrar of companies etc.

Then why the case is against Sahara by Sebi. Sebi should lodge case against 3 registrar of companies, Ministry of Corporate affairs.
