The focus is on cutting unit costs - Lalu

Times Of India reports: Lalu Prasad Talks Shop with GE CEO

Immelt, in true American fashion, came straight to the point asking for Lalu's focus areas. While business, as expected, took centerstage during the hour-long meeting, the Indian Railways CEO, who till recently was known more for his rustic style than managing economic policy matters, managed to allay whatever apprehensions that the GE chief had reeling out numbers to support the argument that the turnaround was for real and long-term.

"The focus," Lalu said in his own style, "is on cutting unit costs, productivity gains and higher volumes....We want to beat the US and China on unit cost."

Totally incredible operational style words from Lalu.
