TiE ISB Connect 2005

28th July ‘05. see here

Me, Tarun, Sachin and Vidit. Thiyagrajan was there too. It was nice to meet him. Other people from IIIT(except volunteers) seen there were Ms Padmaja, Dr Vishal, Dr Sangal, Dr Ramamurthy[1] and Dr Madhav Krishna.

It was a good time. Free breakfast , lunch and illegal dinner (that we choosed to miss).
I mean it was a great time otherwise too. One day listening to lots of VCs and entreprenuers.

Session started little early than time ( Assuming IST to me +630 IST). Thanks to Dr Y S R, for coming 15 mins before time. Though we stupids were there one hour early thinking IST to be +530. Waited for CM garu for almost 400 man hours. After inaguration was over, we were “back to the work”[2].

All people there were cool. Expecially Srini Raju. Missed Mahesh Murthy[3]. Liked the thoughts of Prof S Venkataraman on Entrepreneurial Education.

Almost all of the presentations in Elevator Pitch[4] were damn stupid. Guess what does one meant when he presented “Interactive Entertainment on TV”[5].

A point that almost everyone made… “Ideas are not important. What is important is how you execute them.”
Starting words “Some will change the world” were nice. thought will get them on google. sad . Can someone care to post them in comments pls.
