The #VGSiddhartha news is just stunning. He certainly wasnt a failed entrepreneur!
Black letter day for startups & entrepreneurship in India!
Has to be said - new age startups are lucky to be (largely) funded by equity, debt driven businesses are far more harsh & stressful #CCD https://t.co/xDisccn2U1

We need to take a clear stance in criminalization of a biz failure. A venture can fail, but an entrepreneur shouldn"t - time & again we aren"t learning from the past. Sad 😔 #vgsiddharth #ccd

So heartbreaking. Had met him a few times - an absolute gentleman. How can someone get pushed so far to the edge in business, that they decide to take a fall themselves. I will always see his legacy as a very successful entrepreneur who brought coffee in our lives. My prayers ðŸ™ðŸ¼ https://t.co/bXHh2vyKmW
