"My life has been achievement-oriented. I started off as a coal clerk at the Cecil Hotel in Simla. But I always had dreams and I worked my way at fulfilling those dreams." ¹

- MS Oberoi, the Founder of the Oberoi Group.

"His [MS Oberoi's]legacy isn't just the hotels. His life has been a living example that nothing is impossible. Persistence brings success. His legacy is for the world to see and learn."²

- Sanjiv Malhotra, Vice-president, Oberoi Towers, Mumbai, September 2001.

"I have great respect for the professionalism of Oberoi Hotels. To me, both the hardware and software components are equally important in a complete hotel product and the Oberoi brand excels in both. P R S Oberoi stands for uncompromising quality like his late father and in this country at least, there isn't anyone who is equal to them on that strength." ³

- Sunil Mathur, Director, International Development, Wyndham Hotel Group⁴, October 2007.
