Bangalore based entrepreneur commits suicide
Bangalore: A Bangalore based entrepreneur, KT Lingesh committed suicide by hanging from his house ceiling in the city after he had lost a project to another company due to the lack of funds. A software engineer by profession, Lingesh started Lxlabs with a dream of being a successful entrepreneur. Lxlabs is a company specializing in web based software solutions for hosting and enterprises. The software solutions developed by the company are HyperVM and Kloxo. HyperVM is a virtualization management software, while Kloxo is a hosting platform that enables the hosting provider to leverage the advantages of both Xen and Openvz. According to Lingesh's friends, he was very depressed after his website was hacked by some miscreants. It was also found by the police that his mother and elder sister had committed suicide four years ago. He is survived by his father Dr. Sridharan, who stays in his native in Kerala. Though, he was a talented software engineer, he had characteristics that isolated him from the rest. According to his neighbors, he never used to talk to anyone and he had just a few friends who used to visit him. According to police, he sports a tattoo that reflects his hate towards God. He was a guitarist and used to play in the wee hours, this made many of his neighbors to complain about his behavior to the police. On Sunday night, after a party with his friend, he went to his room and the next morning Lingesh's friend saw him hanging from his ceiling. Now, that the main architect of the company is gone, it needs to be seen as to how the company can come back from this loss.
