Kalyan Varma

http://kalyan.livejournal.com/ Kalyan Varma's Journal.

Kalyan is a Mech grad from PES College of Engineering, Bangalore. (Another Mech & not IIT) He worked as a system admin in his college & then as a trainee engineer at Exocore. Since 2001, he worked with Yahoo!, taking care of Asia Pacific application and data security needs & was also part of Global Application Security team. There he received the Global Yahoo! Super Star award for his contributions in the security space. So much in Yahoo, but there was something more exciting outside. Yeah! He quits Yahoo! and starts as a naturalist with Jungle Lodges, a government-owned ecotourism outfit.

He reason-outs like this:
I saw the film Jungle Book and that brought the change.
Photography is a costly affair & having run out of funds, necessity brings him in the path of an Entrepreneur. In 2005, he & his friend has founded Secuprise, security consulting startup.

Remarks on why 'Consulting':
Consulting is like a one night stand. You work for few days only, take a lot of cash and you will never need to work with or see the guy again. Ofcourse, if things are good and you have had a nice time, you could come back to the client. No long term commitments. more >>
He is a freshman to Entrepreneurship & stuff, so writes most about his wildlife encounters. He also maintains a daily photoblog.
