fi rstborn of 3 children. His early exposure to Malthusian
Economics by his father, the social role of agriculture
to feed a growing population, his affi nity to nature
and his fascination with the work of Norman Borlaug
created the right motivation mix to study Agronomy, unusual for an city
boy. His Postgraduate studies were in Masters Business Administration,
Postgraduate qualifi cations in Marketing Management and Doctor in
Business Administration with a doctoral thesis in the technology vs. society
interaction using the profound and popular example of Agricultural or
Green Biotechnology.
His studies and professional life developed his pro-science and pro-capital
professional attitude. His favorite quotes from Schumpeter “capital is not
to provide silk stockings to the queens of the world, but to the factory
girls” and Albert Einstein that “I never think of the future, it is always close
enough” defi ned his economical beliefs on the role of corporations to plan
timely and develop technologies that increase the social welfare.view less
