Found this very interesting article in TOI today..

The guy used to sell idlis in chennai... now @IIMA he has kicked a lucrative placement offer to start his own catering business. He says

"It would have been very easy to take up a corporate job and give my family all comforts they never had. But that's not my ambition.

I'd rather have my own company and employ one person who can support four other lives,"

Amazing stuff!!

I read it...made me feel very ashamed of what I had done....SALUTE him for what he has achieved.....and his spirit of entrepreneaurship...and not deciding to go for alluring placements......Let this thread be a tribute to him....

i saw and heard for the 1st and only time about this gem of a fella in NDTV............saw the whole interview and was left completely awestruck by the discipline, integrity and a big big heart . the difficulty and hardship he had to face to reach IIMA is nothing short of inspirational and really puts most of us in shame. mind you , his mother and his brother still live a modest life back in chennai........... and for them to support his decision is equally commendable. If people like sarath Babu and M manjumnath (the IIML fella who as murdered).......are the students tht come outta IIMs...... i wudin mind wasting my lifetime for a IIM seat ............hope people like him inspire all of us to become exceptional managers and wonderful human being

hi guys,
sarath babu is sort of a friend of mine; he used to
help us in gd/pi prep. actually he has decided to start
his catering service business from Abad itself. kudos
to him and many others of his ilk.
