Hiroo Dham Singh along with a large number of fellow pilgrims and retainers helped Tibetans drive away the Chinese bandits who were looting and stealing the cattle, horses and sheep.

Hiru Dham Singh was also honored with the title of ‘ Pradhan ’ from the Government of Lhasa.

* The St. Joseph's Church aka Krista Shanti Dham stands as the largest parish in the Archdiocese of Bombay with more than 25, 000 Catholics.

It is well connected and in proximity to popular Himalayan tourist destinations such as Mussoorie, Nainital and Auli and the Hindu holy cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh along with the Himalayan pilgrimage circuit of Char Dham.

Tired and drained after the battle, Vishnu proceeded to Vaikuntha Dham to rejuvenate and meditate in padamaasna ( a yoga posture ) with his head supported by the upper end of his taut bow.

As a young graduate in 1971 Dham worked for Continental Devices India Limited, Delhi, one of India ’ s only private silicon semiconductor start-ups at the time which collaborated with Teledyne Semiconductor in California.

Dham believes that Intel ’ s ability to “ focus and execute ” while maintaining full compatibility of application software with its previous generation microprocessors was the key reason for its success over dozens of these big competitors.

Even at Intel, Dham took chances, such as his prescient decision to work on processors when he was done with being in R & D. By the time Dham quit Intel, he had already built a tremendous brand for himself.

Meanwhile, Dham learnt from dealing with several customers that there was an emerging need for developing chips that could effectively transfer voice over the Internet.

“ One of the biggest lessons I learnt was that it always helps to start defining your product with very early involvement with customers ,” said Dham.

Dham, with his partner, was extremely hands on in helping these companies in their day-to-day operations.

Having learnt that the opportunities for venture backed startups in India will likely revolve more around services required to meet the needs of India ’ s growing consumer class, Dham subsequently co-founded NEA-IndoUS Ventures a cross border India ­ focused fund in 2006 with New Enterprise Associates ( NEA ).

Currently, Dham runs IUVP with his two Bengaluru based investment partners.

Dham also donated to and is involved with TeachAIDS where an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the fields of education, public health, communications and medicine have been working together to develop pedagogically grounded, research-based, rich-media applications to promote HIV / AIDS prevention despite numerous social and cultural barriers.

Dham and his wife Sadhana, who is also on the Board of Advisors, have also been long-time supporters of Home of Hope, a charity with a mission to provide the basic necessities of life to orphans and underprivileged children in India.

*" The best thing that happened to me was joining Intel and the best thing that happened to me was leaving Intel ," says Dham in one of his vapid sound bites that make him so popular with journalists.

Badrinath is also one of the four destinations ( with each destination being in different corners of the country ) of the longer Char Dham from which the Chota Char Dham likely draws its name.

The Chota Char Dham included representatives from all three major Hindu sectarian traditions, with two Shakta ( goddess ) sites, ( Yamunotri and Gangotri ), one Shaiva site ( Kedarnath ), and one Vaishnava site ( Badrinath ).

Accessible until recent times only by arduous and lengthy walking trails that repeatedly exceeded 4000 meters, the Chota Char Dham was long dominated by wandering ascetics and other religious professionals, along with a handful of devoted retirees and wealthy patrons who could afford a traveling entourage.

The Shiv Dham is a big temple of Lord Shiva with a pond in the middle.

( Ref: Business India 5 – 18 June 1995 ) In 1995, at the age of 45, after spending 16 years at Intel and reaching the top management of the company, Dham had a “ mid -­ life crisis ” and was itching to do something different.

Dham convinced the NexGen management to explore what appeared to be a perfect synergy for merging the two companies -­ NexGen had a product but no factories and process technology, AMD had a factory and advanced technology but no product.

In a Business Week cover story on Intel ’ s new processors, Dham was quoted as the general manager of 586 processor group.

Dham could have hewed to a safe course and stayed at Intel for the rest of his career.

Dham says he was a keen observer of how Andy Grove built the strategy and the organisation for Intel ’ s success in the microprocessor business.

There is a general belief amongst Hindus that no pilgrimage to the four principal pilgrim centres ( Char Dham ) namely, Badrināth, Jagannāth, Rāmeshwaram and Dwarka, would be complete without a blessing that comes from bathing in the holy Pushkar Lake.
