Impressions…..
The afternoon continued my interaction with the crowd gathered outside Goli Vada Pav Kiosk at Tie summit …… Some of them CEO’s, investment bankers, big successfull entrepreneurs, new struggling entrepreneurs,fresh m.b.a. students....... Tie organizers… few of them left a strong impression on my mind….
Sridar Iyengar.. President Tie Mumbai
Totally positive…. High energy….. Great enthusiasm….. is the words came to my mind as i saw him moving in the summit .......... or while he addressed theaudience from the podium.........Loving …. Caring….. Smiling… is what came to my mind as i bumped into him at the summit upteen nos of times ........... every time he would say ....... ayyo vadapav.........and then smile........
..... As he conducted his interaction with Chanda Kochar on the dais…. I remembered pranoy roy.......ndtv.......very smoooth.....and classy.... He was interacting with the same ease............. with any new entrepreneur or face in the summit…. Making everybody comfortable with out an air of ego… I especially remember his comment….. “VENKY PO.........Murthy is hungry; offer him some vada pav’s"…...........i was reluctant .......he pushed me..........in fact for my session desi jugaad .... innovation or survival ........ he said i will coordinate your session .......... with a twinkle in his eyes .......... he stood there with his trade mark smile........
I asked him his age…. He smiled…… I asked him what drives him at this age ….. He replied WORK ...... helping new entrepreneurs ............ the last day when i wished him good bye i saw him in a sexy short kurti......... la shahrukh khan.......he had the charisma of a rock star when he was on stage.............. he electrified the stage whenever he came up on the dias.................. i summarised sridhar iyengar .......... illAI....rockstar aiyengar
