“The people you work with are the most important part of any journey. The best investment, beyond assets, is in people and the employees who help an institution grow. Always believe in yourself and your ability to deliver in life. Life is about taking risks, and no work is ever small. Life is a continuous cycle of success and failure, and one must never be perturbed by setbacks.” Ganguly said at the CII West Bengal Annual Meeting & Conference held in Kolkata on Monday.
