Every successful entrepreneur has one: the moment when they realize they are on the wrong path and the right path suddenly becomes clear. Same happen with the 12 IIT guys when they spent  30 frustrating days on Mumbai’s roads looking for an accommodation. But the not-so-good accommodations and weird conditions for renting out a flat to bachelors made that experience a nightmare and then idea of map based housing portal popped out.They started their venture in june 2012 and soon expanded their business  to 10 cities.

Seven Gujarati women who used their only skill they had i.e cooking and founded LIJJAT PAPAD

Generally women tend to have a harder time being taken seriously in a leadership role, but this all has been proved wrong by seven Gujarati women from Bombay .They begin their journey with borrowed sum of Rs 80 and bought the necessary ingredients and the basic infrastructure required to manufacture papad . They started selling the papads to a known merchant in Bhuleshwar and soon Lijjat expanded as a cooperative system .It bypassed the Indian border and started exporting its products with the help of merchant importers in the United Kingdom, the United States, the Middle East, Singapore, the Netherlands Thailand, and other countries.Today Lijjat has an annual turnover of around Rs. 6.50 billion.

Short but interesting (Facebook and You tube)

In the very early days of Facebook, when it had fewer than 15 employees, a guy named Steve Chen decided after working there for only a few weeks that it just wasn't for him. He wanted to leave to found his own company, and his plan was to do a video start-up.

Matt Cohler, the guy who had hired him in the first place, tried to convince him otherwise. "You're making a terrible mistake. Facebook is going to be huge! And there's already a ton of video sites. If you do this you're going to regret it for the rest of your life!"

Chen wasn't convinced, so he decided to do it anyway and left to start a company called YouTube

This how two great company came in to existence.
