Why I adore him

Incidentally came across this interview of R Subramanian, one of the emerging entrepreneurs in the Indian retail scene. He is an IIT, IIM-A passout, the most respectable couple of degrees one can manage in India, and he claims that when the rest of his batchmates were soon sailing off to US simply because this degree helped them make huge bucks there, he stayed back simply because he wanted to remain in India and make it big here.

I tell you, no matter which part of the world you are, that it was a bold step. Anybody can make it big in places like USA and Singapore. But it takes real guts to make it big in India, atleast till a decade and a half back. And it was not easy to be an entrepreneur back then. His interview is real good. Read it when you can.

For those who still wonder who this person is, he is managing Subhiksha, south Indian discount retail store, which has recently set foot out to the Northern states of India too...
