RE:Real story: Exodus and Chandra
by Baskaran on Aug 03, 2006 08:49 AM

May be Sam & Hiten don't understand that spirit of entrepreneurship is about taking risks. The important point is Chandra's thirst for doing something useful and his hard work to achieve that. If he wanted, he could have continued in Wipro or other companies, but is that challenging?
Nobody starts business thinking that it should fail. But, when it happens you need to have great courage and face the situation and move on. Even though he failed in sustaining Exodus, he managed to move ahead and do new things, which could be equally risky. His ventures in India focussing on research and in US just proves his never-say-die spirit.
It could be true that many employees have lost jobs but is all part of the game and they also in the process gain strength and move on.
To me, you comments show your communist mentality and age old arguments about job security etc. This is one reason, India is yet to catch up in entrepreneurship as people are averse of taking risks. If you don't understand the spirit of venturing on your own thats fine- 9-5 job will be the best for you, but don't discourage others who want to achieve.
