Brightest stars burn out too soon

The sudden death of Amit Banerji, co-founder and CEO of Table Space, on Monday, has sent shockwaves through the corporate world.

At just 44, Banerji's life was cut short by cardiac arrest. His passing away marks yet another addition to the growing list of young entrepreneurs and CEOs whose promising journeys ended prematurely, highlighting the hidden toll of high-pressure leadership roles.

Banerji's story mirrors those of others who blazed trails in their industries but succumbed to the relentless demands of their careers. Among them is Rohan Mirchandani, founder of Epigamia, who redefined India's dairy market with his innovative yogurt brand. His untimely death served as an early warning about the price of building a legacy in a competitive environment.
