I wanted to post this Blog during March 2 as that was supposed to be a devils day in my life 3 years back… I was on that day I was backstabbed by one of the person whom I most trusted in this world… It was that say that taught me lot of lessons;
- Humans can always change in this World…
- Day taught me the difference between Rich & Wealthy…
- The day showed me what Depression is…
- The day showed me true & fake faces around me…
Over all it was that one day which pushed me to the bottom morally, emotionally & financially… Itz been 3 long years and still I couldn’t believe I here & fighting… That one day has changed my Life for ever… After 3 years when I look back I’m more than happy for what has happened in my life… Today I’m more independent & pursuing my goals independently…
Though I was betrayed & backstabbed by a Human it is same Humans who stood by me & helped me to fight back… Without them I could have not proved what I’m today… All this was not possible without following people and I take this opportunity to Thank them for the amount of support they gave me during the time of need… So, these are the special ones to whom I owe a lot;
Major Karthik: Truly I totally gave up as I was morally & financially broke… I thought I couldn’t create an empire which I created all these years… I started looking for Jobs abroad… But it was this gentleman who changed everything… He said he has seen me as a Boos & he loved to seem me as a boss… He said what ever it is he will be with me & he even quit his job when he had dependent parents & a pregnant wife… The amount of confidence he had it on me gave me that much needed strength… He helped me raise my morals…
Then he was instrumental in helping me to form a core team… It was he who convinced Bala Subramaniam, Sathick & Senthil Guru to join Cogzidel… He played & is playing a vital role in my come back story…
Dear Major,
Thanks for standing by me during my troubled times & for continuing that support till date.. You are always special for me & I owe a lot… Thanks for everything mate…
Regards,
Anand
Bala Murugan: He is someone who is totally opposite to me in terms of academics, character, knowledge everything… I’ve known him only though my ex-friend who had let me down… Bala was head of finance of a ESPN company Cricinfo.com & itz been a 7 month association… After Major it was Bala who was ready to partner with me & like Major he was with me during my troubled times… When a person of such credentials wanted to join me when everyone have almost written me off was a big moral booster… I’ve nice nostalgic moments were I’ve travelled to Bangalore for many business meetings…
Bala you are one special person in my life & thanks for being with me…
Bala Krishnan: Both had a sore experience because of the same person in our life… Bala quit my previous company which I founded & he took up a good / stable Job in a reputed company… After all confrontations were over , after settling all legal battles & when I was ready to Start Cogzidel… I asked Bala if he can join my start-up… To be frank I was not expecting a positive response from him… But to my surprise he immediately agreed to join me… This was another moral boosting situation…
Bala I still remember my visits to your room where you got me lunch from Saravana Bhavan… And our meeting in Sri Krishna Sweets, Gandhi Nagar where you agreed to Join Cogzidel… Thanks for all the support you have given me Bala…
Boopathi: He was the fourth person to Join me… He was the man behind all the office of Cogzidel & he is another important person in my Life… He is a go getter & I got a lot of aggression from him… I got a lot a console because of him as he use to blast all my back stabbers… He helped us in build the much needed infrastructure for the company…
Boopathi do you remember our travel to Madurai where I showed you a dirty open space… The lunch at Major’s house & Dinner at Konar Kadai :)…
Sathick: I’ve never interacted with him though he worked for me in my previous company… One day Major called me to Bangalore to show me the Core team of Cogzidel Technologies… I saw this enthusiastic gentleman who was ready to join me… I must really thank him because of taking the risk or joining a startup & legal scare from the previous company… Even in Madurai he was with me when I was going thru the moments of loneliness…
Sathick do you remember when we travelled on a rainy day and went to a movie Crossing Tracks in PVR Cinemas?? Also I remember watching Laadam in Ambigai Cinemas & Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu in Mini Priya…
Venkat Ramanan: Next to Join us was Ramanan… He is silent, witty & comes with one liners n punches… I’m very much thankful for his dedication and for staying with us this long by having a flat salary all these years… He even lent his money when we were really struggling to make ends meet… Ramanan you are one special person whom I owe a lot & thanks for all the support you gave & continue giving… I prey god to help grow CCS to great heights where in I can pay back for all your unconditional help and support…
Vimala: She joined my previous company when I was out of that company… When CCS was started she wanted to join us but she was really scared… But I don’t know how she finally got that courage to join us… I must say she is also as dedicated like Ramanan & a work-o-holic… She single handedly managed most of the accounting operation for more than a year… I’ve seen her traveling in hot sun in public transport to save cost, she had stayed long hours to complete her work, she digested abuses of some hard clients & she has even worked during holidays to finish the work… She even took half pay when we were having cash crunch & she lent her credit card to make settlements…
I know she is overcoming traumatic times these days & still I’ve never seen her out of work… She is one big inspiration in my life & she demands a Big role in CCS… I wish CCS grows quickly just to give it back to Vimala & Ramanan…
Senthil Guru: Again I’ve not interacted much with Senthil but like Sathick he was another pick by Major… He helped us build our first product CogzidelTemplates & Beatz… He joined us ignoring the legal consequences he has to face form his previous employer… Though he is not with Cogzidel today I’m grateful to him for being with me in time of need…
It is because of all these people I was able to make this come back & prove to the world that my first journey was not just a fluke but it is a experience for me to create History… I wish god gives me more opportunity to give back to these folks and be associated with them for ever…
