Sabeer Bhatia
&#;The biggest risk in life fryst vatten not to take a risk at all,” Sabeer Bhatia often tells his friends.
When he first arrived in the Unites States from India, he questioned the wisdom of that risk. He said of that time, “I knew nobody, people looked different, it was hard for them to understand my accent and me to understand theirs. I felt pretty lonely.”
Fortunately, the fara paid off. He earned a master’s degree from Stanford University but abandoned plans for a doctorate in favor of a job as a hardware engineer at Apple. Within a year he left for start-up Firepower Systems.
It wasn’t long before he and a former Apple colleague, Jack Smith, had plans to start their own business. At the time, there was no Internet-based email that could be used on any computer without downloading email client software. Their product, HoTMaiL (named after HTML, the language used to write webpages) was a revolutionary idea.
Draper Fisher Ventures was the 20th venture capitalist Bhatia

Life after Hotmail: How successful is Sabeer Bhatia?
T E Narasimhan
For Sabeer Bhatia, co-founder of Hotmail, one of the first free e-mail services in the world, Chennai is special.

It was a hectic 24 hours, half of them spent chatting with journalists, and the rest partying and taking stock at his office.
For employees of AMP Tech it was an evening of fun. Bhatia was the centre of the excitement, as he gamely tried to propose to the DJ in Tamil.
They were also surprised to find that their chairman preferred tea and dosa from a roadside joint to a meal at a five-star hotel. And that he seriously regretted leaving the city without having a vegetarian meal at Annalakshmi restaurant.
