UTV Motion Pictures founded by Ronnie Screwvala is a pioneering force in the India media and entertainment sector. Many of us grew watching the TV serial Shanti which was one of the first ever marquee show on Indian television. It was Ronnie Screwvala who introduced soap opera to Indian audience. But at the age of 19, Ronnie had almost chosen a different path for himself at his parents insistence. Here's how fate took its own course.

Ronnie's parents wanted him to pursue a course in CA as that would lead to a more stable career. But their ambitious son had other plans. He convinced his parents to give him six months so that he could make a decision.

Ronnie says, "So we reached a negotiation. After college I’d take up a job and I’d experience what it is to take up a job, rather than starting out on my own. I said let me just work for six months so that I know myself a little better. So that made sense to them (his parents) because I was still pursuing a professional career and not this hair-brained scheme of turning entrepreneur."

After the stipulated time of six months, Ronnie was all the more sure that the life of a regular office-goer was not his calling. So he jumped onto the entrepreneur band-wagon.

Here are a few inspirational quotes by the famous entrepreneur and philantropist Ronnie Screwvala.
