Colleagues describe him as "I write this today for our respected Rakesh Chopra Sir and that too on his birthday. In simple language I can say whatever I have learned about managing a big organisation till date , I have learned by watching him ,his leadership style with a lot of admiration while he led Escorts as a Business Head for 12 years. Whatever grass-root level changes, Escorts has experienced till date ever, only happened during Mr Chopra’s Tenure. He is a prominent visionary who thought about many major initiatives well before time , some of them like Business process Re-Engg(BPR), Strategic Sourcing , IT-ERP Implementation, setting up customer focussed Mktg Organisation, New product Development focus , Focus on customers, Financial restructuring, Total Employee Involvement, Setting up new R&D, transforming plants into world-class, going overseas to USA and Europe, all these initiatives happened during his tenure. Escorts enjoyed an excellent reputation in the market and was a preferred organization to work-with and work-for during his tenure. I consider him as my mentor in this life-time. He took a lot of strong decisions which only visionary leaders can take and have become a source of inspiration for me. I wish Mr Chopra a happy Birthday again and wish him all the best in his life. "
