RIP, the entrepreneur behind many entrepreneurs and leaders.
Back in the days when there were no Starbucks, Costa Coffee etc – CCD was the only place where entrepreneurs and business leaders would meet.
A salute to the man who had a vision to create a conversational place for entrepreneurs, leaders and lovey-dovey couples – when there were no other options and importantly, too many naysayers bringing down the idea of a model like this.
There were certain ‘hotspots’ in Bangalore and NCR, where I have seen, been a part of many such meetings, chitchats and debates. These continue to fuel the conversations, but now without Siddhartha, the founder.
RIP Sire.
