The empotional feeling and sympathy is quite good and appreciate the fighting sprit of the young entreprenuer. But the fact remains unanswere why did he start doing all these things after coming out of IIM. If this was his long cherished goal, he would have stated the same, much in advance before joining IIM. Especially the fact that our country requires skilled resources staying and working in the country, the very question remains unanswered. However Hats off, for jumping out of losses from the initial years. But for sure one point is for true, for selling idlis u dont require an IIM degree.

Well, it is very evident that Sharath had much bigger plans than starting just few restaurants. So he wanted to get proper training to make it big in the catering business. Many of the entrepreneurs are born in the business schools.

Nope training to run hotel empire. It is better than taking and admin position in Mcdonalds or a support software operation for stock market trading companies

That is funny.
You do not have money. You go to one of the most expensive engg. college. There you do not accpet any offer. And then entreprenuership did not come. Then you get to iim. There you do not accpet offers. Again you do not have money.
Now what business you are in - idli, bada business. God!

Contacts - buddy! Do you think he could have got a contract to start in IIMA without being there?
Degree is not what you earn from an institute. It is the vision and contacts. Degree is just the final and often irrelevant stamp in the new economy.
