00:03:06,335 --> 00:03:10,687
|
||
Tarun Das: That's true
|
||
Niira Radia: Having someone like Jonathan in Bombay was the right choice.
|
||
|
||
27
|
||
00:03:10,687 --> 00:03:19,391
|

|
||
Tarun Das: (laughs)
|
||
|
||
29
|
||
00:03:29,119 --> 00:03:32,703

|

30
|
||
00:03:32,703 --> 00:03:40,127

||
Niira Radia: But when you come to Bombay I am going to take you for a spin
|
||
Tarun Das: Yeah, I'd love to. I am never going to be able to afford it, what is it — 90 lakhs?
|
||
|
||
31
|
||
00:03:40,127 --> 00:03:42,175
|
||
Niira Radia: 62
|
||
Tarun Das: 62 lakhs
|
||
|
||
32
|
||
00:03:42,175 --> 00:03:56,000
|
||
Niira Radia: I have gone for XS now because XKR two seater would be no point because you know you can't drive it in Bombay in any sort so I took this Sedan, the luxury so that.
|
||
|
||
33
|
||
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:08,799
|
||
Tarun Das: Did you got Ratan to review his views on Sunil Mittal?
|
||
Niira Radia: You know I am going to talk to Sunil because I want him to make a statement because he is going to do a Vir interview, on 10th.
|
||
|
||
34
|
||
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:20,575
|
||
Niira Radia: Vir tells me he is doing the interview on the 10th. and.. I am.. am going to ask him to correct that point where he said if Ratan had too much money he could give it to the Prime minister's fund.
|
||
|
||
35
|
||
00:04:20,575 --> 00:04:25,440
|
||
Niira Radia: Sunil said he has regretted saying that statement and I think he is willing to correct that.
|
||
Tarun Das: Yeah, shouldn't say this.
|
||
|
||
36
|
||
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:36,191
|
||
Niira Radia: And I think, I think if he does say that you know, in which there is a question like that where he says that he has a lot of respect for Ratan and all that.
|
||
|
||
37
|
||
00:04:36,191 --> 00:04:41,311
|
||
Tarun Das: He has a lot of respect
|
||
Niira Radia: I know but Ratan does not believe in that, maybe...
|
||
|
||
38
|
||
00:04:41,311 --> 00:04:47,455
|
||
Tarun Das: Ratan has, Ratan has sent names for the US India CEOs forum...
|
||
Niira Radia: Oh
|
||
|
||
39
|
||
00:04:47,455 --> 00:05:02,815
|
||
Tarun Das: He has left out Sunil. In spite of the fact that he is Number 1, you know.100 million subscribers and Walmart partner.
|
||
Niira Radia: Well, then, that's really awful. I'll tell Ratan, I'll have a word with him. By the way I managed to get them a great thing done.
|
||
|
||
40
|
||
00:05:02,815 --> 00:05:06,911
|
||
Niira Radia: All the problems that they are having in UK with the government not giving them the guarantee
|
||
Tarun Das: Yeah
|
||
|
||
41
|
||
00:05:06,911 --> 00:05:13,824
|
||
Niira Radia: This's just between you and me, I introduced them to somebody I knew from the banking community in the UK
|
||
Tarun Das: umm
|
||
|
||
42
|
||
00:05:13,824 --> 00:05:22,527
|
||
Niira Radia: He was very very up with the Credit Suisse group. And we have managed to get that guarantee done without the government having to give us a counter guarantee.
|
||
|
||
43
|
||
00:05:22,527 --> 00:05:29,183
|
||
Tarun Das: Rich
|
||
Niira Radia: He is thrilled with me today. He called me up from Dubai, Ratan is in Dubai today.
|
||
Tarun Das: Right.
|
||
|
||
44
|
||
00:05:29,183 --> 00:05:38,656
|
||
Niira Radia: And he called me saying I just don't know how to thank you.
|
||
Tarun Das: Why did he go there?
|
||
Niira Radia: I think he is looking for funding for JLR.
|
||
|
||
45
|
||
00:05:38,656 --> 00:05:46,335
|
||
Tarun Das: Oh Dubai! O gosh!
|
||
Niira Radia: I think he was in Saudi the other day.
|
||
Tarun Das: Saudi
|
||
|
||
46
|
||
00:05:46,335 --> 00:05:54,272
|
||
Niira Radia: Yeah, so maybe. But I am gonna certainly ask him on.. on Sunil I am definitely going to.
|
||
Tarun Das: Try to have just like you have done with Mukesh and Ratan.
|
||
Niira Radia: Hmm
|
||
|
||
47
|
||
00:05:54,272 --> 00:06:06,303
|
||
Tarun Das: Try to sort this one out because it's not good.
|
||
Niira Radia: No I will do that, I will. I have it on my mind that I am going to talk to Sunil when he is back because he needs to raise this, I want to answer this personally if I get to ask this
|
||
|
||
48
|
||
00:06:06,303 --> 00:06:16,031
|
||
Tarun Das: Sure.
|
||
Niira Radia: So that I can ask it in a particular way. Sunil also doesn't get compromised. And then I think I can then, I can then run that CD past Ratan and say ok, now look at this, you know.
|
||
|
||
49
|
||
00:06:16,031 --> 00:06:21,407
|
||
Tarun Das: Right
|
||
Niira Radia: Because it's Krishna Kumar and all of them who are spoiling his mind.
|
||
|
||
50
|
||
00:06:21,407 --> 00:06:29,343
|
||
Tarun Das: Yeah, we need to clear this because you know, my, my point is that I have met the PM today. Half an hour alone. One to one.
|
||
|
||
51
|
||
00:06:29,343 --> 00:06:43,936
|
||
Tarun Das: And he talked about my article in Economic Times. One of the issues you know, and he said, you know, I want industry to be respected by the public but industry does not respect each other.
|
||
|
||
52
|
||
00:06:43,936 --> 00:06:50,335
|
||
Niira Radia: Correct.
|
||
Tarun Das: You know, (they are) all the time at each other.
|
||
Niira Radia: Yeah
|
||
|
||
53
|
||
00:06:50,335 --> 00:07:00,063
|
||
Tarun Das: Yeah, so forget about Mukesh and Anil but Ratan and Mukesh as you are doing. Sunil and Ratan, you know, we need to, we need to and you can really help him in this.
|
||
|
||
54
|
||
00:07:00,063 --> 00:07:12,351
|
||
Niira Radia: Well, well I'll help you. I do recognise that's the only way we can go.
|
||
Tarun Das: The public will not respect them unless they are ok with each other. All the time bad mouthing each other
|
||
|
||
55
|
||
00:07:12,351 --> 00:07:19,007
|
||
Niira Radia: Yeah, they are always fighting, yeah. I am with you on that. I am going to
|
||
Tarun Das: Which flight are you coming on.
|
||
|
||
56
|
||
00:07:19,007 --> 00:07:23,359
|
||
Niira Radia: Haan, 4′o clock.
|
||
Tarun Das: Ok
|
||
Niira Radia: Why did you want to meet?
|
||
|
||
57
|
||
00:07:23,359 --> 00:07:30,527
|
||
Tarun Das: You come commercial flights or do you have a private jet now?
|
||
Niira Radia: (laughs) Not yet. my clients won't pay me fees.
|
||
Tarun Das: When are you gonna get a private jet?
|
||
|
||
58
|
||
00:07:30,527 --> 00:07:40,255
|
||
Niira Radia: I told Ratan, I said, he said nobody, Niira, in the world's will ever see this guarantee and otherwise UK government's given us so much problem and you have done it and I said why don't you start with fees.
|
||
|
||
59
|
||
00:07:40,255 --> 00:07:50,239
|
||
Tarun Das: Why can't you just use Ratan's plane now?
|
||
Niira Radia: (laughs).You know Tarun I never ask favours.
|
||
Tarun Das: One way Ratan's plane one way Mukesh's plane.
|
||
|
||
60
|
||
00:07:50,239 --> 00:07:57,664
|
||
Niira Radia: (laughs) I am very happy on my commercial flights. I am waiting for Jet and Kingfisher to go down so that some decent people can take over those airlines.
|
||
|
||
61
|
||
00:07:57,664 --> 00:08:06,623
|
||
Tarun Das: Yeah
|
||
Niira Radia: But you Tarun I tell you about Air India, did you talk to PM about bringing Sunil Arora there?
|
||
Tarun Das: Again?
|
||
|
||
62
|
||
00:08:06,623 --> 00:08:09,695
|
||
Niira Radia: We really wanna turn that airline around, haan.
|
||
Tarun Das: Again?
|
||
|
||
63
|
||
00:08:09,695 --> 00:08:13,279
|
||
Niira Radia: He is the only guy who has the respect of the union.
|
||
Tarun Das: Oh
|
||
|
||
64
|
||
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:25,567
|
||
Niira Radia: And who has the capacity to turn that airline around. Praful [Patel, the aviation minister] won't have him. Praful is dead against him but PM may have a view that he is pro BJP. But I dont think Sunil is just because he has worked with Shekhawat.
|
||
Tarun Das: Hmm
|
||
|
||
65
|
||
00:08:25,567 --> 00:08:37,342
|
||
Niira Radia: But I think Sunil's got, I have seen it you know... He has the capacity.
|
||
Tarun Das: Sunil was recommended to me to be the director general of CII.
|
||
Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah,.he has really got potential.
|
||
|
||
66
|
||
00:08:37,342 --> 00:08:48,864
|
||
Tarun Das: But.. The recommendation was he will be two years here and then he leave out when he becomes secretary. How can, you know, how can we agree to that?
|
||
|
||
67
|
||
00:08:48,864 --> 00:08:55,263
|
||
Niira Radia: You know, you can do, there are always special provisions, comeon.
|
||
Tarun Das: Anyways, now its too late now, too late.
|
||
|
||
68
|
||
00:08:55,263 --> 00:09:00,640
|
||
Niira Radia: (murmurs) Why?
|
||
Tarun Das: We have got a Director General, no, we have got a DG no, how can I change?
|
||
|
||
69
|
||
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,968
|
||
Niira Radia: No, I know but I am saying for the Air India CMD we can...
|
||
Tarun Das: Air India?
|
||
|
||
70
|
||
00:09:03,968 --> 00:09:07,296
|
||
Niira Radia: Yeah
|
||
Tarun Das: That I'll do. That I'll work on but Praful is such a...
|
||
Niira Radia: He is, he is...
|
||
|
||
71
|
||
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:15,231
|
||
Tarun Das: He is a sharpy...
|
||
Niira Radia: But Prime Minister is there no, he has already put his foot down. He has already got involved.
|
||
|
||
72
|
||
00:09:15,231 --> 00:09:21,888
|
||
Tarun Das: He put his foot down in many people. He's been kicking around his ministers big time.
|
||
Niira Radia: O. I am glad. I am glad.
|
||
|
||
73
|
||
00:09:21,888 --> 00:09:27,263
|
||
Tarun Das: After long time.
|
||
Niira Radia: Glad, did he tell you anything about the gas issue?
|
||
|
||
74
|
||
00:09:27,263 --> 00:09:32,895
|
||
Tarun Das: I want to stay away from this gas issue. You want me to write about it (laughs)
|
||
Niira Radia: But it's national interest.
|
||
|
||
75
|
||
00:09:32,895 --> 00:09:38,271
|
||
Tarun Das: We will talk about it,
|
||
Niira Radia: It's national interest
|
||
Tarun Das: We'll talk... we'll when you come back.
|
||
|
||
76
|
||
00:09:38,271 --> 00:09:42,878
|
||
Niira Radia: You know there is only one man who can give point perspective. All I am saying here is..
|
||
Tarun Das: Hmm
|
||
|
||
77
|
||
00:09:42,878 --> 00:09:50,302
|
||
