Uday Kotak (Founder & Director of Kotak Mahindra Bank) is one of the most looked upto and respected names in today’s world. Recently, while reacting to the global trade tensions, which also includes US President Donald Trump’s tariff decisions, he went onto call for a reset in national mindset and strategy.

While talking to Republic TV, Kotak said, “I would like every Indian to assume we will be in rough weather and prepare to do very well in rough weather. Men and women and strength are built not in good weather.

While urging a shift in mindset, he said, “I genuinely believe Indians should get out of their comfort zone... This is the time for Indians to wake up and say next 2 or 3 years are tough for us. India is going to be getting attacked from the global side. What are we doing? How are we shaking ourselves? Even if everything is great, let us have a sense of a paranoia.”

While stressing on economic strength being the ultimate currency of international diplomacy, he said, “I genuinely believe that finally, power is power. And India has to dramatically accelerate its efforts to build that power. Economically, we have a lot of catching up to do to turbocharge growth.”

And, about Donald Trump, he said, “Donald Trump has inherited US power. He’s sitting on that seat and using it to full effect”.
