About the talk ========== Mr. Dorai Thodla shares his experiences and ideas on entrepreneurship, trends in technology and the plethora of opportunities that a budding entrepreneur today can use. He will touch upon innovation, product ideas, and entrepreneurship. He will share his experiences of building perhaps the first-ever technology product, an Indian RDBMS, and selling it to a US company. This was done in a period when ‘make in India’ was not on the headlines, and the concept of ‘entrepreneurship’ was also not a buzzword in business, technology or management schools and Indian industry.
