Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhatia hit back at RPG Group chairperson Harsh Goenka. 'I’ve been hearing that sob story for more than 30 years now. It’s only getting worse because we have fantastic lecturers and no doers,' he said.
IIT Madras director V Kamakoti had made the claims at an event in Chennai on January 15. On January 20, he asserted that five scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals validated cow urine's anti-infective properties, including antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects.
The Hotmail co-founder took shots at the actor-turned-politician without naming her. Sabeer Bhatia was referring to a video in which Kangana Ranaut said, 'Whether it's disaster relief or the disaster itself — I don’t have any official cabinet.

Commenting on the creators of Aadhaar, Sabeer Bhatia said, 'they don't know technology'. 'They have never coded in their lives. That's why this problem exists'.
India has done a great job of developing the IT services business, but it has failed in world class product development for the software industry, says the Hotmail.com founder.
