I feel honoured in sharing that the Maruti team amid us is responsible for taking Maruti to those heights which made it as one of the largest automotive brands in the country."

He also benefitted students by sharing early experiences gained with wide-open eyes under diverse apprehensions and dreams for a bright career ahead. Mr Kalsi emphasized: "Leadership is not merely a position or a title. It is solely an action and example. Leaders are not born as such they get formed through hard work and sincere efforts".
Sharing his life he told that in the initial phase of his career he was frustrated as he was made to work on 25 machines for 6 months. That self and practical work enabled him to make 200 suggestions to his immediate boss for betterment of the company. Mr Kalsi said: "Our life itself lessons on leadership. It follows in a pyramid form starting from highly capable individual to be a contributing team member, competent manager, effective leader to be ultimately a top-leader. One should always focus on basics and strong fundamentals. As per a great saying-'who sees things in the seed form, is the genius'. Step inch-wide and a mile-deep in whatever area you take a beginning."
