The world's greatest investor lands in India

You must be wondering who am I talking about isn't. I generally cover IP related articles and issues but this time let me add a new flavor to the conversation. The king of Investment Warren Buffet and tech giant Bill Gates visited Indian territory last week. Both happened to be promoting a great cause of philanthropy  and the art of giving, ironically, a few indian billionaires turned up for the cause, but that doesn't diminish the spirit of this great personality. Warren Buffet is not just a name but a brand in himself. I am so amazed  by the strength and perseverance of this great personality.I was particularly interested in watching the interaction of Mr Buffet and the business school students. The session was great as expected but what made this session even more interesting to watch was certainly the wit and wisdom of Mr Buffet. One can never be tired listening to him, because this man comes with an exquisite sense of humor and at the same time, an astute business observation. The best part of the various sessions he addressed in India, was the fact that he kept mentioning the importance of giving in life. He gave simple,humorous yet impressive examples pertaining to investments, one of his famous being "If I had an IQ of 160, I'd sell 20 points". He also focused on the fact that India is the logical destination, from investment point of view.Well I can go on writing and writing  about him, but the fact is India witnessed a great week with such a legend who shared his views on business, investment and above all the pledge for philanthropy.
