Story of an Indian Entrepreneur

I hugely admire V G Siddhartha of Cafe Coffee Day.

With his inheritance (he comes from a prominent family of coffee plantation owners) and his political influence (his wife is former Karnataka CM’s S M Krishna’s daughter), he could afford to live the good life without busting his chops.

But instead his entrepreneurial energy drove him to start multiple businesses creating jobs,brands and wealth.
