Ranjan Das, CEO and MD of SAP Indian subcontinent died after a massive cardiac arrest on Wednesday. One of the youngest CEOs, he was 42.

We IT people always stretch our body just to achieve the given timeline. Especially those in SAP projects, we work almost 24/7 during our project implementation. This is not good for our body.

Just look at SAP CEO, he takes in healthy food, he goes for sports, but yet he die because of sleep deprivation.

So my fellow IT friends esp my kakak abang adik in SAP field, please take good care of your health don’t work so late and wake up so early ok?
