Very welcome Mr.Branson

Founder of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson says that his company does not give up and keeps pushing until they see success in the end and in India, they will succeed in the end.

Q: How are you dealing with the Indian government?

A: Past Indian governments seen incredible frustration and you know you almost, so sometimes people will say well, you know, if you get that person a present or this person a present, you might get what you want, but we don't do that at Virgin. So we just had to do wait year after year to put our case across and finally there is a government that believes that open skies make sense and is willing to allow many more airlines to start to fly and I think soon the traveling the public will see the benefits of that.

Q: Do you have a vision for Virgin in India?

A: Virgin around the world, I one day would love people to say as the most respected brand in the world and in order for it be the most respected brand in the world we got to make it the most respected brand in India.

So once we got daily flights to Mumbai and to Delhi and hopefully to number of other cities in India, we then start building other businesses and things like the mobile phone business, maybe I will be able to invest in domestic airline and there is financial service industry, I think, you know, could do the little bit of shakeup in India and fun things like music and health that we can look at.
