My mother has always been the biggest inspiration in my life.

I love Virat Kohli, he has achieved a lot.

It is education which can liberate you and I believe girls should get the best education.

When you set an example, it helps other girls to dream.

The Miss World journey has been incredible.

Today Miss World is all about young women who bring about a global change.

Miss World is about coming together, taking the reigns and fighting for a cause.

I already have a pet project called Project Shakti and it aims on educating women on menstruation cycle.

It does not matter what others think, 'beauty' is just perception.

Being associated with Malabar Gold has been wonderful, a relationship which is close to my heart with moments that are special to every Indian.

I am a proud Indian, it's the land of celebration with all the festivals, vibrance and, most importantly, emotions. That is what I took to Miss World!

All Indian women have one thing in common... we don't feel prosecuted for who we are and actually face our challenges head-on. And I think that's what we need to do, we need to be confident about who we are.

We will face a lot of limitations and sometimes we do feel that it is not a very woman-friendly society but as individuals, we should just set an example and make women feel confident that you can do amazing things as well.

Even as a Miss World, you have to roleplay sometimes. When you look at some people, you feel like breaking down but you've to smile and spread happiness. So of course, I know I am a good actor.

As Miss World, you are a face for beauty with a purpose. You can't just be beautiful. You have to have the zeal and courage to pursue the purpose.

My parents have a great role in inculcating values in me.

Bhagavd Gita is a major source of inspiration for me and the spiritual text has a special role in my life.

My parents have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and do what makes me happy.

Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.

In short, software is eating the world.

The Internet has always been, and always will be, a magic box.

The spread of computers and the Internet will put jobs in two categories. People who tell computers what to do, and people who are told by computers what to do.

You are cruising along, and then technology changes. You have to adapt.

With lower start-up costs and a vastly expanded market for online services, the result is a global economy that for the first time will be fully digitally wired-the dream of every cyber-visionary of the early 1990s, finally delivered, a full generation later.

Adaptability is key.

You go on Facebook, you buy social advertising. And you can very cost-effectively target people who are in the market for your product from all over the world.

If the Net becomes the center of the universe, which is what seems to be happening, then the dizzying array of machines that will be plugged into it will virtually guarantee that the specifics of which chip and which operating system you've got will be irrelevant.

Health care and education, in my view, are next up for fundamental software-based transformation.

The smartphone revolution is under-hyped, more people have access to phones than access to running water. We've never had anything like this before since the beginning of the planet.

Our combination of great research universities, a pro-risk business culture, deep pools of innovation-seeking equity capital and reliable business and contract law is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world.

Aaron Sorkin was completely unable to understand the actual psychology of Mark or of Facebook. He can't conceive of a world where social status or getting laid or, for that matter, doing drugs, is not the most important thing.

The joke about SAP has always been, it's making '50s German manufacturing methodology, implemented in 1960s software technology, delivered to 1970-style manufacturing organizations, like, it's really - yeah, the incumbency - they are still the lingering hangover from the dot-com crash.

Innovation accelerates and compounds. Each point in front of you is bigger than anything that ever happened.

I know where I'm putting my money.

An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network.

People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you're like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.

If I want to get work done, that's usually about 3 in the morning.

People tend to think of the web as a way to get information or perhaps as a place to carry out e-commerce. But really, the web is about accessing applications.

In the startup world, you're either a genius or an idiot. You're never just an ordinary guy trying to get through the day.

Today's leading real-world retailer, Wal-Mart, uses software to power its logistics and distribution capabilities, which it has used to crush its competition.

It's much harder these days as a start-up to do physical devices.

Any successful company in the valley gets acquisition offers and has to decide whether or not to take them.

One of the big first computers was called SAGE, which was a missile defense, the first missile-defense computer, which was, like, one of the first computers in the history of the world which got sold to the Department of Defense for, I don't know, tens and tens of millions of dollars at the time.

Many of the best firms historically in venture capital have been multi-sector.

I am bullish on the global development. I am bullish on billions of people getting out of poverty.

Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.

Every kid coming out of Harvard, every kid coming out of school now thinks he can be the next Mark Zuckerberg, and with these new technologies like cloud computing, he actually has a shot.

An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.

Ten to 20 years out, driving your car will be viewed as equivalently immoral as smoking cigarettes around other people is today.
