GB Prabhat talks about what made him leave his top position as a Director at Satyam, one of India's biggest software companies, and take the hard route to entrepreneurship.

This particular edition will be of special interest to both entrepreneurs and to those who aspire to be one.

When he quit Satyam recently, he had helped grow its Enterprise department's revenues to 200 million US dollars a year.
