GURURAJ DESHPANDE ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The Indiatimes article quotes Deshpande in a recent Delhi meeting of TiE where he comments on the spirit of entreprenurship.... “entrepreneurs must have a little childishness in them.” He must be right. Given the current economic downturn and continuing IT downslide, it’s only the most die-hard and, in a way, naïve entrepreneur who would venture out and bet his shirt on a new technology product or service others might find laughable or ‘too impractical.’ Deshpande likened the entrepreneur to the kid who cannot sleep until he gets his hands on the new bicycle promised to him by mommy in the morning.In India besides many other, DESH has invested in Tejas Networks whos performance is quite appreciable in the Optical Networking segment.
