The managing director of Group G, Mr. Ashish Garg, began his speech with a story about his modest upbringing, where they led a simple life while having plenty of money. He said that the teaching, "It's not about the fish, it's about the art of fishing," sparked his sense of initiative and contributed to his success.

This was handed down to him by his ancestors through many years, proving that inheriting money doesn't necessarily bring happiness. Instead, the hustle and the art of fishing provides true satisfaction.

He parted his speech by sharing some insightful thoughts, that "Simplicity promotes goodwill, and goodwill generates profit,and therefore, simplicity triumphs over cunning. It is not necessary to be cunning to run a successful business."
