Prashant Sardessai. (Classmate, IIM Bangalore). A quintessential Goan, and a great host. Once when we were sitting in his house, his daughter had ordered my autobiography (My Experiments with Half-truths), and it showed up that day! He and his daughter became my best friends, instantly! He was also known as a creative guy with his gang for developing many local buzzwords among students, half-Hindi too. Reddy, Dazy and ROI formed part of his gang, I think.
Diti Goswami (Prof., NMIMS Bangalore)
A few days ago, as I left Bangalore, I had a quiz, and she was one of the answers to a question - Name a prof. who looks most like a student. She does, and we were worried when hiring her, because she may not be taken seriously by the real students as she looks really young. But she managed very well. Good-natured, with a great sense of humour- self-deprecating variety also.
Jaya Jha (Entrepreneur, Bangalore)
Wry sense of humour, maybe shaped by her IIM Lucknow days (no one can escape that there!) as an MBA student. She became a serial entrepreneur, founding Pothi.com first, which is a platform that I used to self-publish my autobiography. She is now an author of a book on Product Management, a hot topic today.
Meghna Sinha
First got to know her through her blog, when she was studying at IMT Nagpur. Then we discovered other common interests, and met in Delhi and Mumbai, where she is with Asian Paints. We plan on meeting again soon.
