Day: August 18, 2015

Today I heard about a really good ex-colleague and friend of mine: Mahesh Induru passed away. He was 37. I heard that it was due to lung cancer, he also had a tumor in his brain. I am really really sad and depressed to know about this.

I knew Mahesh (马黑士) during my first job in IDA. He was full of passion and am determined to make things work. Through him, I learnt alot of project management skills and how to defend the team and work together towards project success.

He then moved on to be the General Manager in Mig33 and I last heard he was the Managing Director in iBuy (a popular group buying site). Whenever I met him, he was always full of enthusiasm about the future and worked very hard to climb up the corporate ladder. He was someone I could look up to and he is always wiling to share with me how I should progress in my career. He even shared with me about his investments on what homes to get and his wedding plans.

My regret was that I was organising a meet up earlier this year but we reschedule to meet later due to other commitments. Wish we hadn’t.

I am really sad to know that has passed on. He will be missed.
