  • The Goa Project

    When I heard that there was an Unconference going to take place in Goa, I was curious to know what an unconference was? I had never taken part in an unconference and I genuinely had no idea what it was; but just the sound of the word was great! UNconference – It is conference, which…

  • On Glocal

    I have heard this term Glocal often and have wondered what they mean by it. Think Global, build local! What do you really mean by that? So continuing from the last post I wrote; a phone got lost and we found it using iCloud. While iCloud is a global platform and had a huge role…

  • We should thank Barack Obama for Crowd-funding!

    So today, I was getting all bent out of shape about the shame that is, Indian Politics. The so-called saviour, who was elected last month in Delhi is engaging in a form of economic stupidity that cannot even be expressed in words. He was probably the first guy in India who was able to pull…

  • Co-Founders

    In India, when individuals set out to found companies, they rarely think about the need for a co-founder. They set out to do what they wish to do, without much thought about building their team. What is even more shocking is that most of them think that they would be able to hire people in…

    Fear is the biggest culprit that keeps people from chasing their dreams. Taking off and not bothering about consequences is not usually an adult thing to do. If you wish to train a person to become a gymnast, normally you have to start early. This is due to the fact that learning gymnastics involves a…

  • Reason to Start early with Entrepreneurship

    Life is an evolutionary journey. As we go through life, we mature; and as we mature, our needs increase. Entrepreneurship is also a journey, a journey that few individuals feel motivated to embark on. So, in life, as our needs increase, the resources that we require to meet these needs also increase. When it comes…

  • Entrepreneurs and Investment

    If I had a dime for every aspiring entrepreneur that I met, who told me that if only the investment was in place, they would start off!! Entrepreneurship is a journey and not a destination. So my question to most entrepreneurs is; When would you have sufficient funds to run your startup? Its 7 years…
