Switching careers: Madman's story of making a business out of one's passion

Posted on 02:22 by Unknown
Folks Madhu 'Madman' Menon is is featured in an article on career-switching in The Hindu..

When the great exodus to the IT industry started, just about everyone dropped what they were doing and flung themselves into the gold rush; some wanted to move to the USA, some wanted to make money, and some wanted both. From the early 90s to now, things have changed. Last year not many engineering entrants were interested in taking up IT as a branch of study. The honeymoon, sadly, is over. But amid this mileu a few individuals had the courage, initiative, and the brains to break into entrepreneurship. Madhu 'Madman' Menon is one of them. I am not surprised that The Hindu featured him in this article:

The Hindu Business Line : Doing business with relish



There's a lesson in it for each one of us. IT is not the only pasture. If only you applied your brains, you could hit upon a great idea. India needs entrepreneurs.



Madhu, make it two. ;-)
