Geetanjali kirloskar

Geetanjali Kirloskar has written a heartwarming “eulogy” in memory of her late husband Vikram Kirloskar. Mr Kirloskar was the vice chairman of Toyota Kirloskar. He died on November 29. In her “eulogy”, published in the Times Of India, Ms Kirloskar called her late husband a “man who had so many facets” and a “brilliant mind”. Geetanjali Kirloskar, who decided to “celebrate” instead of mourning the death of her husband added, “He enjoyed opera, wine, history, manufacturing, geography, sailing. He could passionately work on the shop floor in the day and return home to cook a gourmet meal for his wife and daughter. The day's recipe, unique to suit the palette of that evening!” She highlighted that Mr Kirloskar believed in “gender equality” and respected successful women across professions. “And he carried this sensitivity to the home as well,” she said. Ms Kirloskar added that the late industrialist wanted her to evolve “in my own unique way” and helped her become the person she is today. “He would smilingly introduce himself as “Geetanjali's husband” she said. Ms Kirloskar stressed that she has stopped mourning for her husband as she doesn't want to remember him with grief. She admitted being pained by the loss but insisted that “this is one loss that can be soothed with celebration”. Beautifully written eulogy. Makes one reflect on the mark we leave on others that lasts way beyond our lifetime. After Mr Kirloskar's demise, his daughter, Manasi Tata, was appointed as the dire...

1 / 6 The Kirloskar heiress For any young inheritor about to step into the world of industry and big business, a natural ability to chart new waters is expected. One such scion is Manasi Kirloskar — the sole heir to the Toyota Kirloskar empire. The only child of Vikram and Geetanjali Kirloskar is currently under training as the Executive Director of Kirloskar Systems Ltd. Deconstructing Kirloskar reveals a gritty and adventurous side to an otherwise softspoken 27-year-old. 3 / 6 Diving into corporate life Kirloskar, who is also a trained deep sea diver, says diving and corporate life find meaning in each other. "Deep sea diving requires focus, fitness, passion, ability to take risks and courage. Neither diving nor business is for the weak-hearted," she says. "The only difference being that when diving, you are responsible for yourself. But when you run a company, you are responsible for others." 4 / 6 A tough task master Manasi is also one tough task master. She recalls one incident: "The calm to think rationally helped me during a crisis situation of our hospital project. We were three months away from completion, when the medical equipment at the Operating Theatre (OT) got wet due to heavy rain. I called a meeting of the key managers, used my contacts to simultaneously reach technical staff within 12 hours to the site. A breakdown that would typically have caused a project delay of 45 days got reduced to 15 days."

Geetanjali Kirloskar has recently penned an emotional note for her late husband and businessman Vikram Kirloskar whom she called a man of "many facets" and "a brilliant mind". The vice chairman of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, who was popular as the face of Toyota in India, had died of a heart attack in November. He was 64. Writing for the Times of India, about how she would like to remember her husband, Geetanjali Kirloskar said that she had stopped mourning for him and that she does not want to remember him with grief and negativity. "I have stopped mourning for my husband. I don’t want to remember him with grief and negativity. Else, he will frown from the heavens above. Yes, there is deep pain, but this is one loss that can be soothed with celebration," she wrote in the publication. Recollecting how she overcame the mourning period, Geetanjali Kirloskar wrote, "It (the death) was sudden, most unexpected. Over the days that followed, there were prayers, and visits from many who shared their experiences and love.""Finally, it was over. The condolences and the mourning. Only the grief stayed. Every simple routine activity brought back memories. I decided a week afterwards that I will resume work and take charge of life. But it’s the hardest thing to do." Vikram Kirloskar was considered a stalwart in the automobile industry. He was the fourth-generation head of the Kirloskar Group. He was the chairman and managing director of Kirloskar Systems Ltd and also the vice chairman of T...
