TOKYO -- Japanese financial services group Orix seeks to develop its own businesses to ensure sustainable growth rather than relying on the aggressive acquisitions that have powered its expansion, President Hidetake Takahashi told Nikkei.

"We don't aim to be a company that does nothing but invest," said Takahashi, who recently became Orix's first new president in 14 years. "We have to put in the effort to build businesses from the ground up."
