Lessons to learn under the Ruias at Essar

Lessons from your previous jobs often come in handy when you are dealing with a situation in your current venture. That's what Raman Kumar of Cbay Systems revealed at TiE's Smash Up forum held in Mumbai recently. Kumar, who used to work at Essar under the Ruias (Shashi and Ravi), said that his nearly five-year stint at the company helped him learn how to raise funds. "They (Ruias) know how to operate the system and for them, capital raising was a business in itself. That was my take away from them," said Kumar.
