So long, farewell to you and you and you...
So long, farewell to you and you and you...
Posted by: Krishna Kumar in On the Website on May 01, 2010
This is my last post on this blog. It is time for me to move on.
You will any day now be holding the 32nd issue of DARE in your hands. It took more than a year of work for us to get the first issue out. So, in total, that is almost 45 months for me with the concept of a platform for encouraging and showcasing entrepreneurship. That is a long time for me to be associated with any single project. In short, it is time for me to move on, to other challenges.
I will continue to be associated with the area of entrepreneurship, starting off a new business within CyberMedia of consultancy around entrepreneurship. Immediately on my agenda is a long-term project of working with several business incubators in the country, to improve their performance and output. I will also be indulging in my other passion - online technology and communities; leading the rollout of a new generation web platform for CyberMedia's web properties.
The last 45 months have been quite eventful by any standards. We saw the global economy at the pinnacle, and we witnessed the steep fall and are now watching the resurgence of a new dawn. We saw entrepreneurship go from being a fringe topic to becoming mainstream in almost every discussion. And we saw India taking centre stage amongst the comity of nations in more issues than one. I have enjoyed every minute of this topsy-turvy journey and have enjoyed the conversations I have had with each one of you in person, through these pages, at my blog and on social networks.
I do hope that this journey together was as interesting and fruitful to you as it was to me. I will cherish the friendship and close association I built with many amongst you and will look forward to continuing them even as our roles in life change. I will continue to be available on Twitter and LinkedIn amongst other places under my usual handle - kkumarkg.
Till we meet again...

I spent around 165 days working for DARE with him and learnt more things than in my whole life. The best thing that I liked about KK was that he was never a boss--he was always a senior, who worked around you; quashed your false notions; stomped your ego; listened to every useless talk that you would like to blurt out; and still was able to spare some time to laugh with you like a kid.
I remember we planned to visit Meerut in his car so that we can know how to make leather Cricket balls! Sadly, we never got the time to eventually make it happen. But I can count any number of times when I sat with him, chatted, and came out a wiser man.
The time, as they say, has come for newer avenues...I wish that whatever he works on/with, he will find people like me who would be eager enough to sit with him and learn from him and be thankful that they had somebody in their life called KK.
I would end with this personal experience: I was talking to somebody telling about how we worked to bring out the monthly issue, run a website and host events. After assessing the situation, the wonderstruck person remarked thus:
"What is so magnetic in KK that you people are so committed!"
So, KK: wish you joy with all your (ad)ventures. May whoever comes in contact with you learn something and share a good time. Peace!
