Sunil Mittal and Asim Ghosh should thank me...

Its more than a coincidence. After I quit a company, the organisation hits the trajectory path to greater heights. AirTel has reached unbelievable heights after I quit out of frustration in 2004, even giving up possible stock options which I would have got if I had just stayed on for six more months. Never realised the potential of that stock then. But the Bharti scrip is a gold mine of all sorts. The news now is that employees in Bharti have also been given an option to move from telecom to retail, if they desired so. Interesting times indeed.

Then, I quit Hutch in 2005. Now look, the valuation of the company has hit $ 21 billion and the company is all set to have a new owner - could be Vodafone or even ADA (Anil Ambani that is). But if Essar's Ruias take it over, then I am thankful that I quit the company (hate them for no fault of theirs. Probably because of their past mismanagement in other areas. Though they are a turnaround story now).

So now companies know the route to success!!
