[@ananth1784]

I am typing this as I am watching his speech. That zeal and enthusiasm is unmatched. Just see the way he is answering questions. The humility, humbleness is just flowing. It is just the way he is. The most important thing in this world is a "stable mind". I am sure when he was giving this speech, he was in an exuberant mood and was doing well in business. The whole concept that "money" should be a byproduct makes sense. He is stilling willing to learn from other stalwarts like Premji. As they say, life is a cycle, making money and giving back to the society is the most natural way. The best wealth of an enterpreneur is "experience". When someone dies, we all talk good about him. But if he was living and if I had heard this speech, I would have still been moved to tears.. Just wanted to put my thoughts into words.

[@ChatterjeyDa.AabeerDa]

A great son of India. A great man indeed. Mr. Siddhartha, you will live forever in our minds. Your dreams for indian brand making is a thought of what only a real visionary could have. Had it not been a momentary lapse of reason. Your speech and thoughts so inspiring so infectious. RIP. Actually you were ahead of the times. Fifty years later people will realise. Money is not everything. Reminding me of vincent in the song stary stary night by Don Mclean - this world was not meant for someone as beautiful as you...... Perhaps they never will...

Now I know why it was so hard for him to continue. He said businesses in early days were not like today where you start business using internet and make billions selling it. People had to work hard to evolve those businesses to what they are and that's what he did. It was not just a simple trade for him but his family history. What a great man. I wish I could learn facing failures from him.

For the very first time in my life I’ve watched Mr. Siddhartha giving a motivational speech and this man had some unique insights and vision. But he himself couldn’t learn much from the story he narrated: his friend making ₹ 400 crore loss and then making ₹ 25,000 crore EBITDA in a decade or so. I’m amazed a seasoned entrepreneur like him succumbed to financial difficulties which are all a part of business journey. RIP

💔💔💔💔💔💔 feeling sad for him. Business failure should never become an ego and political situation in the country is not encouraging entrepreneurs rather it’s seeing them as thieves. Business decisions are done based on judgements and banks do when they lend . When a business fails banks has no responsibility for not foreseeing it but it’s of the entrepreneurs. This is a bad precedence for an emerging economy with so much of talent around but living with the fear of failing which is looked as the dead end but not walking as badge of honor for trying something which others did not. I feel sorry for this man.RIP SIDDHARTHA U R a hero 🦸‍♂️ and we are proud of u as an Indian who took ur business beyond boundaries.
