One guy, 20, flunked exams. No other business in life. Decided to start a company in the year 1998; Joined hands with a junior, started something and failed.
Both of them walked out, picked up the pieces and some tissue paper, bitten nails, stale cigarettes and "half-empty" coffee-cups. Later, CM was born, with a budget of 600 US$, with a forced entry into an elderly gentleman's office
Broke-even in 3 months; Saw turnover of half-a-million in 2 years, grew to size of 90 employees. One fine morning KABOOM dot-com burst; along with it burst our balance-sheet and dreams. Resulted in debris of attrition, pink-slips et al
ZZZZzzzz....
ZZZZZzzzzzz....
ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz..........
Went to sleep, everything moving in slow motion, saw nightmares........
And then....
The alarm struck... woke up, took a leap, stretched and flexed a few muscles, built a better team, and didn't look back since then.
Now the company survives and strives toward this end:
"Earth, Wind, Rain and Fire
Wealth, Power, Blood, Desire
One goal to live for before we die
The taste of glory, the mouthful of sky"
