A Word on 'Love' from India's Young Startup Heroes


Bangalore: For those who really did not know the story of ‘Valentine’s Day’; the very name of this ‘lovely’ day was derived from a priest, Saint Valentine of Rome who sacrificed his life for protecting young lovers from an emperor, Claudias who prohibited the marriage of young people. In one of his final notes before decapitation on February 14, 269 AD, he had written "Love from your Valentine," and thus ‘Valentine’s Day was born, marking respect and tribute to this saint who stood for love.
