My father never forced me, but chemistry was my best subject.

I had seen AIDS patients in India and Africa, and knowing that people were dying even though drugs existed that could help them was shattering for me.

Patients are becoming aware that they're being taken for a ride by big pharma companies. They charge high prices and have never cared for India's healthcare. There are 23 million cases of cancer every year and India has a fair share of that.

Reducing the price of AIDS drugs gave me so much satisfaction that I've been thinking what else I could do. One day, I thought, 'Let's look at cancer and see how we can spare cancer patients' unnecessary suffering.'

Clinton has played a major role in giving companies like Cipla credibility, for which I will always be grateful.

Cipla has a strong professional management team, and we take team decisions. My brother has been working at Cipla since 1973.
