On Monday, CCD founder VG Siddhartha went missing, which sent ripples of alarm across the nation. On Wednesday, his body was recovered from the Netravati River near Mangaluru. In a suicide note that was discovered, Siddhartha apologised to his board members and the CCD family and said that he had let them down. He also said that he had “failed as an entrepreneur.”

Paying tribute to Siddhartha with #CCDMemories, people shared their memories. Many also said the staff of the coffee chain would need their support following the CEO’s demise. To be precise, a number of first dates and many first meetings of arrange marriage partners must have taken place at CCD. Some business partners must have made important decisions in CCD over a cup of coffee and even several business ideas might have taken birth there.

Last year I got a call from a long lost friend, whom I coached during his IIT entrance long ago. He’s a successful social entrepreneur now.

We then met in a CCD, had a nice chat, exchanged thoughts.

CCD provides an alternate nice ambience to bars & pubs.

Share ur #CCDMemories

Our first office in Galleria, Gurgaon didn’t have a meeting room so we did all meetings and interviews at the CCD #CCDmemories #RIPSiddhartha
