Bajaj Auto Limited Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said technology is evolving faster than business models. “Competitive advantage lies less in what you know and more in how quickly you learn, adapt and execute. Success will come from developing depth, discipline and the courage to make independent decisions,” he said.
