The Cafe Coffee Day founder and former Karnataka CM SM Krishna’s Son in Law, VG Siddhartha has been reported to be missing on 29th July in Mangaluru. After he went missing, the police are going through a search operation upon his family’s request. However, it is speculated that he might have committed suicide as things were not going well for him.
An Entrepreneur who created 30,000 Jobs in India
Before he went missing he had written a letter (supposed to be written by him) to the Board of directors and its employees. He wrote that his intention was never to cheat or mislead anyone, for now, he has failed as an entrepreneur. And hope to forgive him someday.
Since this news went viral over social media, the internet users are praying the entrepreneur to be safe and fine. Twitter users are wishing the business baron to return home soon. Some even are blaming the government, as they have not taken any steps to support Entrepreneurs in the country.
Here are the Tweets
please wake up, how many more #VGSiddhartha you want. Please take decisions which are good for everyone, not just one party. Please roll back LTCG and tax on FPI, we dont want to loose foreign money and growth which they can usher in building india. Please be kind and roll back

Because of Strong govt. we feel secured and escaped from #terrorism but now sadly landed in #taxterrorism and dysfunctional economic reforms @nsitharaman @narendramodi #VGSiddhartha

Things seem to be getting uglier by the day with this liquidity crisis. During Modi 1.0 there were only murmurs about business sentiment being down. Modi 2.0 these murmurs are being amplified with suicides.#VGSiddhartha

#VGSiddhartha very sad day for entrupruners in India. There is no support for entrupruners who create tens of thousands of jobs. Budding entrupruners specially who need debt financing will ask if the pain worth for creating richer nation. Share opinion @PMOIndia @amitabhk87

After Micromax, Flipkart, PayTM now #VGSiddhartha ‘s Cafe Coffee day.
Indian entrepreneurs are unable to compete with foreign companies.
India should learn from China to protect its entrepreneurs. (Luckin against Starbucks, WeChat vs Messenger….)— ನಿರ್ಮಿತ್ Nirmith (@NirmitGooli) July 30, 2019
#VGSiddhartha case is a classic case of most home grown entrepreneurs. Build a business from scratch, create wealth,jobs,brand name-everything that Indians aspire for but a thankless society & anti business govt ensures that it all comes to nought. Lesson 4 budding entrepreneurs!

Missing #CafeCoffeeDay owner #VGSiddhartha alleged harassment by Tax Officer in letter.
It is common knowledge that the govt has not been able to meet its fiscal targets, but harassing entrepreneurs to this point is not acceptable. https://t.co/mIOIleEK0n

#Cafecoffeeday Day was considered a huge success story. CCD is what we fondly call it.Don’t understand why the founder considered himself as a failure.What ills him ? Economic policy? Market forces? competition? Or the recession has arrived? pic.twitter.com/WhwQtAxfyn

Sad morning. Shocking to read the letter of #Cafecoffeeday #Siddhartha on the financial mess he is in/created. Clear warning to many in business, especially in film industry on the need to have a check on their borrowings, including me. Hope he can come back. Prayers ??? pic.twitter.com/X5azJSFUfv

Really disappointed to see #VGSiddhartha went missing. This person has truly made a change in this world with #CCD
I really felt his words "I have failed as an entrepreneur"
Hope we see you again #VGSiddhartha
