Brief profile of the successful IITians heading giant Corporations

Indian Institute of Technology needs no introduction either in India or abroad. Getting into IIT is like assuring yourself towards a successful life, it has been observed quiet often that people doing exceptionally well are in some way or the other connected to IIT, what is it that IIT does to every student studying.
Is it the college that turns the life of the student or is it the hidden potential of the student???
It's nothing just the environment that unmasks the real you. Humans are very adaptable. We mould ourselves as per the situation, when we see so many people around us with big- big dreams, we start creating our own. We are highly influential and get easily carried away with the flow. Most of us like to join rather than creating something of their own, this is the point where IIT stands alone, it is a place where people like to create something of their own if two individuals follow a same theme they are looked down upon. The culture of that place is like that it truly forces you to build something different, just out of the league,
