embarrassing moment?

style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3">This
is about 20 years back, when I and two of my friends went to a hotel
which is 60 km away from Bengaluru on a picnic. We had spent all our
money, and we realized this only after we finished eating. We were Rs
15 short of the actual bill and none of us had credit cards. We
explained the situation to the waiter, and he said, “Don't worry
you are not an exception. I have seen many like you. Pay us next
time.” We drove back to Bengaluru non-stop, with not even a single
rupee in our pocket.

my passion. Creating an educated next generation is close to my
heart.

best compliment you have ever received?

share any memorable/inspiring/humoros incident from your
school/college days.

style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3">When
I was studying in my final year, 25 years back, I along with 3 more
friends pooled all our pocket money, hired a taxi and went to
Sarjapur Road to buy land for starting a factory. After that, next
week we went to Hesaraghatta to buy one farm house. We had pooled in
money only for taxi and lunch. However, all of us wanted to become
entrepreneurs immediately after our college. Today 3 out of 4 are
running our own companies. I own a farm house too.
