Zitat des Tages von Romesh Wadhwani:
No one is an island. All these entities that drive economic development are interconnected in one sense or another.
We have a mentoring and angel investing programme. We are also talking to the government to help create a VC industry.
I think the tradition of philanthropy is far better developed in the U.S. than in India, as is the whole notion of giving away 50% of your wealth while you are still living and not waiting till you're gone.
I'm from an Indian family of professionals, and my parents had to go through hardships themselves to send me to IIT-Mumbai.
A philanthropic venture requires all the energy, knowledge and money from its founder that a company requires from the leadership team.
I feel that India lacks a level of philanthropy that is proportional to the wealth that is here, particularly among the top 5,000 industrialists and entrepreneurs.
I don't want to take a company public and not have it do extremely well and fail the public shareholder.
