Introduction
The book “Connect the Dots” tells the stories of 20 regular people who became entrepreneurs and made a go of it. Connect the Dots makes it a point to focus on entrepreneurs who did not have a formal management education.The message to young readers is clear — you don’t need to be from an IIM to build a successful company.Reading the story of Prem Ganapathy of Dosa Plaza, I could not help believing that India is a meritocracy or at least the land of opportunity for any enterprising person who is willing to work hard.While some of the entrepreneurs the author has chosen to cover in her book are from privileged backgrounds, many are not. Some haven’t even done college, forget about an MBA.
There is nothing more inspiring than the story of a boy born on the wrong side of the tracks making it big against all odds.
STORY OF RAGS TO RICHES
Coming from a poor background, in Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin district, Prem Ganapathy had no choice but to abandon his dreams for higher studies, in order to support his family and siblings.After Ganapathy completed his tenth standard, he did not want to study further. Ganapathy said “My teacher told me that I should continue studying but I told her frankly that I do not want to study. We had lot of financial problems so I wanted to work and earn money, help my family. Even getting water and firewood was an arduous task. We had to walk miles to get water and firewood,”. His father had a tobacco business which ended in a loss. He also incurred huge losses in the farm. With seven children, his parents struggled to make ends meet.
He first started out doing odd jobs in Chennai, which fetched Rs 250 a month. He met a young boy who promised him a good job in Mumbai. He said that if prem paid him Rs 200, he would get job
