Eminent persons from different walks of life came together to witness the release of the book, jointly brought out by The Times of India & Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Coimbatore.
Mr. Veerappa Moily Released Book..!
Speakers at the book launch function including Mahalingam's close friend and Union Corporate Affairs Minister M. Veerappa Moily who called him the doyen of Kongu Nadu and an entrepreneur of principles. His faith in Gandhian values & his application of that philosophy in his various business ventures also won special mention at the meeting. The book is a testimony of the diverse interests & contributions of the top entrepreneur.
Mr. Veerappa Moily released the coffee table book after talking at length about his long camaraderie with the great entrepreneur. The minister also urged young entrepreneurs to imbibe the legacy of Mr. Mahalingam, who blended business & industry with spirituality.
Mr. Mahalingam in his speech urged Indian youth to effectively use their potential to inculcate ethics & values.
Mr. G Balachandran, former additional chief secretary of West Bengal, said that Mr. Mahalingam has a number of rare qualities to emulate. Mr. Mahalingam had advised some of the senior Congress Leaders in the later half of the 1950's that they must focus on the grassroots. They failed to listen and in a few years the Congress was routed out from the state, he said. "This shows his keen observation & intuitive skills. The present generation has a lot to learn from him," he said.
Mr. G. Ramaswamy, the immediate past president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, said that Mahalingam was an apt person to write about management techniques. "He shows equal respect & humility to a farmer and a union minister,'' he said.
Mr. M .Krishnan of Indian Chamber, Mr.Ninan Thariyan of Times Group also spoke on the occasion.
