Hemant Purohit is a 55 year old who lives in Sydney, NSW, and has been a Telstra shareholder since T2.

If I were Telstra’s CEO I would...I would do almost exactly as Sol is doing: 'speak the truth without favour or fear'.

If you asked me what I did, I'd say...Work full-time|Telstra staff member

I bought most of my Telstra shares in...T2

I bought Telstra shares because...I considered it a really good buy.

My first successful investment was...CBA, plus T1 and T3.

The best investment I ever made was...CBA.

What I learned from my worst investment decision...'Do not put all your eggs in one basket'.

The best investment advice I’ve ever been given...Things can always go wrong, so you must act with utmost caution.

How I use telecommunications now...Fixed line with message bank, mobile, Internet.

How I see the future of telecommunications in Australia...Hopefully very bright, as long as the Government does not apply "brakes".
