I spent the day of 21st May in a very good company. There couldn't have been a better choice than Anal Jain and Prat Moghe to guide the budding entrepreneurs in our happening country. They have tonnes of experience and a great passion to share it with their younger siblings. The sessions they took were to-the-point and full of ready-to-use advice and tips. Vishal, Samir, Hemir and Niraj added on with their personal stories and the VC perspectives respectively.
In the recent events, the Apex body and the India IT Inc might have played well to the sentiments of the several young minds that could be aspiring to be innovators.
My last 3 years of humiliating journey in the path of innovative entrepreneurship has drawn more flak by the successful Indian IT entrepreneurs than it should have been encouraged morally more than monetarily.
I would rather swallow the “Visha” (venom) that has been spit on me so that the "Amritha" could flow to all young aspirants out there if at all the “Lip Service” converts to "Real Support".
I could be wrong from others' perspective but I say with conviction that Indians have a feeling of insecurity in their being Indian.
