Sabeer Bhatia - The Hotmail founder
Recently had a chance to meet with Sabeer Bhatia, The hotmail founder. He gave a talk in UCSD on "Web 2.0" and what was memorable in his talk was his story of selling hotmail.com to Microsoft. I found this story on Asiaweek.com about him pretty close to how he described his negotiations with Bill Gates & co. Currently he is busy with Arzoo.com in India, apart from his NanoCity project. Got to see the human side of the big names in Silicon Valley.

Very Good link..
But somehow i feel that he was sucessfull in US but very soon he will realize that that success won't repeat in India.. Bad politics and red-tapism destroyed his web-plans and now nanocity plans will also go in doldrums..
Politics always killed this nation creativity and will continue to kill that.. Cheers.
