The Idli Entrepreneur

After the overdose of the crorepati salaries, the media is now writing about MBA’s who have taken the entrepreneurial route:

Lessons learnt in his childhood have given Suresh Babu, an IIM graduate, the conviction to turn down a job offer of Rs 8.5 lakh from an IT firm and pursue a career in catering. An MBA student from IIM Ahmedabad, he used to sell 'idlis' in his childhood to meet education expenses and support his family.

Even today, Suresh's family makes around Rs 2,000 per month. All that would soon change, he hopes. Suresh graduated from BITS, Pilani on a Tamil Nadu government scholarship. IIM, from where he obtained a management degree, too gave him a scholarship.

Let’s hope Sarath Babu (the DNA article above got his name wrong) sets new standards in the industry dominated by the Saravana Bhavans' and the Murugan Idli Kadais' of the world.
