“A hugely important event in Berkshire’s history occurred on a Saturday in 1985.  Ajit Jain came into our office in Omaha – and I immediately knew we had a found a superstar.  (He had been discovered by Mike Goldberg, now elevated to St. Mike.)

We immediately put Ajit in charge of National Indemnity’s small and struggling reinsurance operation.  Over the years, he has built this business into a one-of-a-kind giant in the insurance world.

If Charlie, I and Ajit are ever in a sinking boat – and you can only save one of us – swim to Ajit.” – Warren Buffet in his letter to Shareholders on February 26, 2010.
