My Departure from T- Hub
Thank you, Entrepreneur, Hyderabad and Team T- Hub
An inspiration's what you are to me.
Inspiration, look, see.
And so today my world—it smiles,
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.
Alright, yeah
Happiness: no more be sad,
Happiness: I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
Mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.
- ‘Thank You’ by Led Zeppelin (Led Zepelin II, 1960)
It’s been a journey from a PowerPoint to an ecosystem, a construction site to a buzzing vibrant community, pillared by a building, a vision by the state to an anchor in the international network, a 2- member startup to a world- class organization.
A 5000 people, 1500 startup entrepreneurs, 1150 days, 350 organizations, 50 corporates, 40 team members, 1 city, and its people later, it is time for me to move on. I am deeply thankful to the opportunity and the wonderful platform that allowed us to build what we did in such short a duration.
What lies ahead is truly an amazing platform for Hyderabad and India to leapfrog from where I personally bid adieu. After years of academia and multiple degrees, stressing my parents out followed by years of toiling in entrepreneurship-land and stressing everything from my wife and family, years of hobnobbing in the corporate world and busting the chops of employees and customers, and now having built an ecosystem while toiling with an amazing team, I figured, before the prediction machines truly take over and make me not just redundant, but irrelevant, I look to dabble in a space that has always fascinated me- one that banks on capitalism at its puritan form, one that predicates itself on continuously placing bets on a risky asset class over and over till you find that diamond in the rough. The VC.
The fear of never having been there is what is truly exciting. The new challenges ahead for T- Hub & for me personally resonate incredibly well as we peer into the future, and get a glimpse of the future- a bright new beginning for India.
One that will get paved by entrepreneurs.
