What do you call a person who gives up a lucrative dollar job offer at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A), one of the elite management institutes of the world, to start off his own venture with no seed money and no one financially backing him up? How about this? You are a degree holder from BITS, Pilani (One of the eliite engineering institutes of India); with 30 months of experience and then you get an offer from IIM-A for an MBA and lateral placements and jobs offers are waiting for you. Yet, you wanted to start off as a first generation entreprenuer to sell idlis (akin to muffins). Crazy you might think. But the gods of odds have always turned in favor of the ones with the determination and will and towards the one whose perseverance is paying off handsomely now.

Meet Sarath babu, the tenacious 27-year old from Chennai and a real rage to riches story which will set an  example for all budding entreprenuers. With two elite degree in hand and to sleeping on the railway platforms, his story is an inspiration to millions. I truly salute his persistance. A must read for all.
