A wellwisher
Kitne achhe drafting skills hoge aapke!
Kitni achi Hindi hai aapki.
Great achievement indeed.
Let the hater's be hater's, whatever you have accomplished is on your own and hence don't let people tell you otherwise.
why would you have haters when you are so good?? if what he accomplished is on his own then the reputation he has in the market is also self earned. You can't blame others for the negative rep he has.
However congrats Rishi !!

You don't like? Is the term too cosmetic for you?
As for it being a defining tag, I think to a large extent, at least in legal or other professional services firms, it seems to be true (if not always fair). At least as a journalist and relative outsider, it's easiest and often helpful to categorise professional services start-ups by their heritage (and even sometimes by their alma mater, which I personally have more objection to though I'm not above doing it sometimes).
In short, what is a lawyer but the accumulation of work experience they've had so far? If you have a start-up by ex-partners from BigLaw it's a different beast than a start-up started by a litigator, if only for the type of work they're likely to have done and are good at.
A peel off in most other sectors, such as semiconductors, would not long be known by its pedigree but presumably by its innovation, new patents and new products. In legal, building your own brand that will eclipse your former firm takes a longer time...
Given the parlous level of "training" meted out at the big Indian firms, perhaps we should have a different term than "peel-off." How about, "[b]survivor[/b]?"
As in a t-shirt that says, "[b][b]I Survived Five Years at AZB and All I got was this lousy t-shirt and an understanding of Material Adverse Change Clauses[/b][/b]." "[b]Survivor[/b]" sounds about right to me.
Giant Krishnan has indeed done some research here, but he is typical in proffering his race as a proxy for global insight while his actual background is purely domestic and plebian. It's a neat trick to constitute 17 percent of the world population and live in, say, Sweden, and be a "minority" in a country less populated than Delhi. But my second-gen NRIs besties do it every day with straight faces. I stand in awe and disgust at their presumption as they instruct me about India.

Krishnan is very clever, no doubt about it. By choosing to "research" on such issues he exploits his India 'connection' when it suits him.
I wonder whether we would have treated such a 'treatise' had it been written by a Prof named Erich Stanislaus Mannerheim of Finland.
