AAB deeply mourns the death of Atul Chitnis. We had written on him Atul Chitnis a topnotch techie but our dream of publishing his interview never came through. He had mailed our editor that he will reply to our questions and also specifically said Would love to share my thoughts for my city. But that never happened.

RIP Atul Chitnis.
