I am so saddened by the news of Venu's passing, I will always remember his enthusiasm and kindness. He touched many lives and I hope that brings you comfort in days ahead. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
To the Challagolla family:
Please accept my sincere condolences for your family's great lost. Venu was a remarkable man and for those of us that had the privilege of working with in the past, we were humbled by his kindness and compassion to everyone around him.
I am sure his family will have the strength needed to get through this very difficult time
What a kind respectful and cheerful person.. I was glad to have him as my mentor in Dell when I joined fresh out of college. He was helpful and very kind person. Spoke to him after many years recently few months back and everything that defined Venu was same.. Again sad for the loss .. and pray that he rests in peace forever.
I will fondly remember Venu's larger than life personality and infectious smile. Venu was one of the most kindest people I know. He made time for everyone and was always willing to lend a hand.
Venu's passing is a great loss to everyone who knew him but his memory will live on forever!
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May God give you strength to get through the unimaginable. Venu was my manager for a short time; I found his sunny outlook, optimism, laughter endearing. He always brought a positive attitude at work and had the great ability to make everyone feel valued and welcome in his world. Coming across Venu outside work was no different - he would greet with a cheerful smile and pleasant talk. I cannot imagine Venu is no longer with us. May he rest in peace!
Passionate about life and work, Venu followed his heart to create his own path - and that is what I will remember him for now and always.
We pray for his soul. Our prayers are with his family in these unexpected and trying times.
I am sorry for your lost. I did not know Venu very well, but I did have encounters with him as he met with my manager quite often. I always found him to be a very kind, respectful and pleasant person. I am sure your family have suffered a tremendous lost, but by keeping his love and memory close to your hearts he will always remain near. May you all be given the strength you need to get through this difficult time in life. My prayers are with you.

He was a man with sense of humour.
He was a very inquisitive person right from boyhood. He was a friend to different aged persons. He was highly individual,self respected,and a self confident person.
Dear Venu! You are living in our memories.
Venu truly loved his classmates and particularly Living Group 23. Venu brought his living group together and held the online reunion, and he was always at the center of LG23.
Venu was a kind soul and will be remembered as someone always available, supportive, and dedicated to the well-being of others, no matter how busy or tired he was and no matter the time of the day or night. Venu was selfless in every sense of the word. Venu always thought of others first.
His classmates remember him as follows. "How he could light up a room with his presence and his smile, a quality that made him naturally be loved by everyone."
"I'll always remember his candid and humble way of asking questions, although in most cases he knew more than us, either because of his experience or because of how hard he studied and listened to the answers without interrupting." Venu was incredibly brilliant, yet exemplified a level of humility any of us would aspire to become. One of his living group classmates recalled, "I'll always remember our late-night chats, talking about life, making plans, and thinking about what could have been the next big thing to be involved with."
Venu spoke of his beautiful family and the love he had for his wonderful wife, Jyothy, and his three children, Samiha, Arsh, and Neev. His love, his light, and his legacy will continue to live through them.
Venu, we love you, we miss you, and we will always honor you through the lessons you taught us in your ability to love others unconditionally, have a humble spirit, and naturally be the light in other people's lives.
Rest in peace, our friend, forever and always.—GMP 25.
All my meetings ,discussions ,interactions ,parties with him are flashing from last one week and it will not stop anytime soon. Although I have not been in touch over the last few years , I have always looked up to him to be my mentor and guide.
He played a big role in shaping my career unknowingly. Talking to him was enough motivation for me to keep up with the project pressure.
I very well remember the first design discussion meeting with him way back in June 2012 which changed everything for me.
There cannot be a star brighter than him who has touched so many lives just by being himself with his energy ,smile and compassion for everyone around him.
May your soul rest in peace !!
Forever in our hearts
I met Venu late 2018 in an executive education course we both participated in; it was a short time but fully emersive, incredibly personal and thoroughly engaging.
All the participants brought their best to the table, we were all trying to do and be our best version. But not Venu. It was clear to me, and I speak for myself and many of my colleagues, that Venu’s natural self was the best we all aspired for and inspired by. Venu’s humility, positivity and cheerfulness was infectious. He wasn't even “trying” like the rest of us; he simply was his beautiful self.
I am heartbroken by the loss of such a beautiful soul and my deepest condolences to Jyothi and your beautiful children. Know this, you have a freind in Kuwait, someone who one day will want to tell your children when they grow up what an amazing father they have. It’s not nostalgia; it’s the truth. I am blessed to have known him. Rest In Peace you beautiful soul.
Venu Babai was always the exciting and cool babai for us, and I wish we had been able to say goodbye to him before he left us. It hurts to know that I can't look forward to his surprise visits and messages anymore.
I remember when I went to visit him in Austin when I was younger. I told him I only put salt and pepper on my eggs, and he told me that wasn't the right way. He proceeded to put way too much chili powder in the omelette he was making and told me that it was the correct way to make eggs. Once he ate it however, he was sweating and couldn't eat it. 9 year old me found it absolutely hilarious and couldn't stop laughing. I thought he was the funniest person -- and I wish he was still here so I could laugh at his jokes again.
I miss you Babai, and I will always remember you for the fun loving and caring person that you were.
Love, Keerthana
