A ‘knight’ comes to a metro, on a metro, for a metro!
Dr. Sreedharan has a penchant of working against all odds, defying the commonly prevalent (mis)conceptions and setting unprecedented records. Be it the building of Konkan Railways, raising public bonds or taking up the challenge of the Delhi Metro Rail Project (presently his focus and passion), he has left critics dumbfounded on all occasions. A modest man & an extraordinary bureaucrat, he believes in the ‘window mirror philosophy’ and attributes his success to the team and its efforts. Though he insists that, “I do not have any special skills to get the best out of people...”, he has instilled a sense of corporate culture and commonplace values (which earned him 20 transfers in the early years of his career!) as the two key success factors for Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. Honoured with France’s ‘Knight of the Legion Honour’, his emphasis on commitment rather than workaholicism has ensured that he never missed even a single deadline in his entire career! (Phew!)
