Gujarat Confidential: Straight To The Point

Noted businessman and Padma Shri Savji Dholakia, while delivering a speech as a ‘motivational speaker’ during the annual meeting of Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) last week in Ahmedabad, made a light hearted comment — equating his habit of coming to the point without “any formality” to the one of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel not tucking-in his shirt. Chief Minister Patel was also present on the occasion on the dais when Dholakia was delivering the speech. Dholakia said, “I will come straight to the point. I do not prefer formality; the way the CM does not prefer to tuck-in his shirt.” The audience responded with candid laughter to Dholakia’s remarks.
