Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, said large companies must intentionally create internal forces to challenge their own business models. Speaking at the Harvard Business School Centennial Global Business Summit, he argued that corporate complacency is the biggest threat to longevity. 'You have to seed internal disruptors. They don't guarantee your survival, but you have got to try,' he said. The quote, reported by Business Today, reflects his view that failing to self-disrupt makes eventual failure certain.
