That is what you think, where was tyhe country when his mother was toiling to earn a living and trying feed herself and her children, trying to give them an education to be proud of. Where was the country then that he should waste his talent for. We have politicians for that, and by golly thae are doing a good job robbing the public. At least this person is earning a fair and truthfully living and also feeding another 200 mouths. Is that not enough for the country. Secondly if you have talent and brains to do the same and can do with out the IIM-A graduation no one is stopping you go ahead and do you work i am sure you can be just as successful as Mr Sarathbabu is.

Only successful businesses give employment. So creating successful business is the service one can do to the country. Most people do not see this. They just look at how much money he is making and getting jealous (end of story).
Hats off for Sarathbabu... We all think in some point of time we shd help the poor... but due to some reason or u can even say we are afraid wht will hapen to our personal life n we dont do much to the society.. Its takes lot of courage and determination to sacrifice your life for the poor, which u have done it... I really appreciate your work...
Keep going boss.. Best of luck and achieve sucess in ur endeavour
Dear Sharathbabu, Your life is a classic example of Karma Yoga taught by Sri Krishna in The Bhagavath Geetha. While Krishna taught theory ur life is a practical class for today\'s young and materialistic, money minded indian youth. May god bless u with a long life, u keep inspiring more people.

i DISAGREE..did anyone thought about a point that when he had his basic education completed he could have started earning as to support his mother who was a lone earner. After finishing again he did not hink about the same and went after his ambition making his mother slog as elderly age. And once he succeeded he bought car for his mother ...funny isnt it.. Is this the same karma yoga taught by Si Krishna..

Sod the Sri Krishna PrasannaPai we are not in that era beside what did Krishna do other then stealing Butter and chasing girls (Gopis). People like you should learn from people like E Sarathbabu take leaf out of his book. He is an example of hard work and has prooved it that hard work does pay. Mr E Sarathbabu mother worked hard to so that her son could have a better life, he bought her a car, and is trying to buy her a house for her old age comfort, that is the reward of her hard working although her sacrifice can not be repaid at any cost. but her golden years can be made constable. S what is funny about it,your must have just wated your parents cash enjoying your collage days chasing girls etc. but he has worked hard, He has educated himself and helped his mother earn a living as well. And that is a small price to pay for his mothers sacrifice although the cost can not be repaid in any currency. LEARN FROM HIM.

so does everyone ...dont get sentimental by reading articles..we indians have habit of making common people heros and extraordinary people remains insung heroes. What we see and read on media is half truth, the reality is always different..just think had he failed miserably what would have happened with his mother ...also he said that he was in 15 lakhs debt. So it was too risky what he achieved is at the cost of his parents. you need to be too selfish and self centered to achieve such goals by forgetting your parents pain. So many entrepreneurs fail..did u anytime saw their miseries and their parents miseries.Come on sheetal read article 2 to 3 times and you will soon realise ..there is something wrong in their.
Real good person - worries for the poor. I read about his decision about 2-3 years back and lucky to have read the present one as well. In this mad mad world of power- mongers, corrupt political systems and money-spinners it is great to see a person like him dedicating his intelligence, opportunities and riches for the poor. Hats off. If chance permits would like to personally see. Sarathbabu Garu, if you have read this message please e.mail me your convenience. Regards and thanks.
He says he know what is hunger if as he say is working for the society he should be running Subsidised food joints for poor not for the Creamy Institutes and Corporates.
This guy definetly knows what is hunger for money and he is definetly feeding his empty stomach

Why should he subsidies the poor, as soon as one mentions subsidy in India even the rich start to form a queue. he was poor and worked hard so can these so called poor,they disgrace and disgust to the society. Get out and do a days work ratehr then sitting in front of a Mandir with a bowl wait for your daily bread to walk by.

matin ahsan....ppl like u r burden on society..pls shut ur stinky mouth, doesnt need ur expert and stupid comment anymore.
No gem of human worth every lives in loneliness. IIMs graduate and get lost in this busy world.But you have proved to the society that you are no ordinary person. You are the real hero of this society. Our country / society needs people like you.
For me, this guy is an utter nut being hyped by rediff. How did he reach the IIMs? Who paid the fees? If it was his mother, how could she earn those lakhs from selling idli, dosa?
After completing his studies in IIM-A, the top educational institute in India, he is selling Idli, vada and simply saying that he wants to create jobs for uneducated. Ofcourse, no educated will work with you Sharadh. People will be scared of you, because you ruined the education by your stupid thinking.
Why the hell you are thinking so much to buy a house? its because you don't have the money. After IIM you are selling idlis, no bank will give you any loan because they all will be scared of you.
Your vision looks great but you are an utter idiot to execute your plans this way.
If BITS did not support you, you could have been still sleeping in the platforms.
If you IIM friends did not help you, you could have been still troubling your mother for your pocket money.
Grow up man.
THINK LIKE AN EDUCATED MAN. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE IN THIS STATE.
If you are good at heart you can still support the poor even if you are rich. You don't need to be there in that hut just for the sake of sympathy.
I appreciate your hardwork and self belief but I am angry with you don't deserve the hurdle you came through.

What are you guys saying? What is your angst against Sarathbabu? He is his own boss and he had the guts to start a business from scratch! He had some help along the way and some great luck too, but after all its his desire to stand on his own feet that has lead to his success. How many of us would have been able to dream like him, let alone be like him ? Stop pulling him down and try to appreciate what he has done!

Mr.Hussain ...mind your language...as if you only work hard on this earth then what are you doing on rediff. 2nd ly bring your attention to the point that artclke says he has bought car for his mother..what his mother in village going to do with the car..what otherwise he should have provided is comfort of house to his mother first.and car is his own requirement. 2ndly the article does not mention that has he repaid all his loans to his friends. 3rd for this bizness there was no need for iim education ,he wasted one seat and one eligible candidate a loser.
There are many loophholes in this story..hussain we have gone thru many such articles on rediff i am not on rediff new...it is hyped up..

Maybe, but how does that invalidate his comments? What have you got against Sarathbabu that you should condemn him vehemently, or support such condemnation? His vision is valid for him, and might not coincide with yours, but why should you discount his achievement and hard work?

Ashish, go and have some milk from your mamma... Don't simply get emotional by reading the headline. Analyze the story and then comment.
Who paid the money for IIM tuition ? U dumbos, do u even know what IIM stands for ? Banks tail behind u to give u loans when u get in to IIMs. There are scores of IIM passouts who have the guts and confidence , unlike morons like you , who actually go the radical way to do some thing different, some thing that they are passionate about. Before calling an IIM A an utter idiot, first prove urself by atleast clearing CAT and scoring 99.9%ile. Then u would realise what it takes to get in to IIM A , and that would be a fine time to eat ur own sh|t that u have spilled out here.
I agree the article has loopholes and it could have more complete information. The fact remains that one guy, who could have worked for another company and made lakhs of rupees(maybe even dollars)shose to work for himself instead. He has created jobs where even the uneducated can earn a living. IS he treating them fairly, I hope but IT IS NOT HIS fault that REDIFF did not answer the questions that arose in ur mind. You guys do not sincerely believe that job creation is a good thing??

mr.Bijoy...thanx for listening to point we are making here.. i am not obnoxious..ok job creation is good thing but you move to any corner of mumbai slums also so many small time entrepreuners are doing the same...what i feel ..that his work definitly be appreciated but not hyped as rediff has done by showing he is living in hut..and look at the Sofa he is sitting on with leather cushion..just imaginf the cost

@prasanna I feel stories like Mr. Sarathbabu's should be highlighted! India needs some inspiration, some motivation to think outside the box. Yes many people in slums of Mumbai are entrepreneurs too but maybe not in the big scale as Sarathbabu is...and maybe not so fast a rise! I feel as a person Sarathbabu should be given a lot of credit for the courage and his perseverance. As for the sofa...come on...maybe Rediff asked him to sit on it...its just a photo man...do not judge the whole person based on where he is sitting!

Think like an educated ? Well ok.. lets talk about ur stupid post :
1. who gives loans to poor IIM students ? : I have repeatedly answered the same in the posts. And as an educated man u claim urself to be, u are supposed to know this. 2. This guys is an utter nut : Height of blasphemy. You are looking down upon a man who rose to grab a seat in the most respected institute of India and had the dilligence and vision to refuse a lucrative job, because he wanted to pursue his passions.
3. He is selling Idli Vada : Educated people donot make these horrendously stupid guesses. READ... he is making 32 Lacs a month. He is running a catering empire.
4. You ruined ur education by ur thinking : What the !!! What do expect him to do ? get a job with McKinsey and lead a lavish life ? He could have done that ! But, an educated man what u claim urself to be also is supposed to know that there are people who like to follow their passions. There are grads from IIM who have set up NGOs, who have started music bands, who have turned in to religious activists. So, they all are dumbos ...arent they?
I would sure like to know what u do ... I know u are going to lie abt it.. but still...

Come back to reality..we are saying article is un-necessarily hyped up. And none said anything about IIM. rEAD ARTICLE ...DONT BE OVERLY SENTIMENTAL..sit on rediff for a month you will soon see many such hyped up articles..
Salute to sarathbabu.U r truely the inspiration of middle class mass indian people.Every year most our news media only writes about the IIM graduates who is getting highest paid job, rather they should wake up and write more about this kind of humble person who can avoid such a tempting job and think for common people. Once again salam to you Sarathbabu.
