developed far living notion till tradition
I think the tradition of philanthropy is far better developed in the U.S. than in India, as is the whole notion of giving away 50% of your wealth while you are still living and not waiting till you're gone.
diseases larger man offer
Bioscience and biotech offer many opportunities. The U.S. focuses on the rich man; India has rich man diseases and poor man diseases. So you have a much larger set of opportunities.
holding
STG is a combination of a holding company and a private equity model.
entities
No one is an island. All these entities that drive economic development are interconnected in one sense or another.
messing
I don't want to live with the guilt of messing up someone's retirement fund.
among lacks level
I feel that India lacks a level of philanthropy that is proportional to the wealth that is here, particularly among the top 5,000 industrialists and entrepreneurs.
