RamG VallathRaised on a daily dose of P.G. Wodehouse and hands-on scientific experimentation, Ramgopal 'RamG' Vallath learned two things pretty early: one should never take oneself too seriously, and no problem is unsolvable. Soon, he was whizzing through life, aving got an all-India 129th rank in the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE). The fact that he did an extended five-year B.Tech. from IIT Madras did not have anything to do with his love for the subject. Having figured out that electronics was not his cup of tea, he jumped into the management rat race to do an MBA from the Xavier Labour Relations Institute in Jamshedpur. He went on to build a successful corporate career, becoming a COO in Airtel at thirty-five, one of the youngest circle heads in India's telecom industry. Not satisfied with the level of challenge in life, he also got diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder which crippled him. Never one to give up, he kept a positive outlook. Over the next ten years, even as he grappled with his deteriorating health, he continued to hold down tough and complex jobs, first as a director at Dell and then at HP. In his quest for improved fitness, he lost 12 kg and taught himself how to swim by watching YouTube videos. He is now a motivational speaker and has addressed thousands of children as well as corporate employees, making them laugh out loud as he shared life-changing lessons. He is also the author of a wacky and humorous science fantasy novel called Oops the Mighty Gurgle. Read More Read Less
