When Investing is an Adventure

And lastly, I want to share as I turned 50 in July, I have been thinking of how to infuse more adventure in our lives.

I recently went on a high attitude trek in the Himalayas. We crossed Rupin Pass at a height of 15,300 feet. We had started climbing from 5,200 feet and it was an exhilarating experience.

I am now trying to infuse a sense of adventure in our organization too by sending people to white water rafting or some treks.

A sense of adventure brings excitement, happiness and team work as well as increased risk taking ability.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming along with me on this adventurous journey of Vardhman Special Steels Limited.

Whether you will make money or not, time will tell, I can only assure you that you will have quite an adventure with me.
