The Startup WorkForce : A Proposal to the Community.

Posted by: Vijay on: October 12, 2008

This is a wonderful time to be starting up. You will come across very few people who will give comparisons to all the benefits they get working for big corporates. Its one such time. Hiring will be slightly easier, and retaining them will be even more easier.
Even in the midst of all that, it does [...]

The Future of the Startup Workforce : OnDemand Talent?

Posted by: Vijay on: June 22, 2008

Everybody, just about everybody seems to be having this problem. The teams that I oversee in IIT, all the way to a lone team in Simla, everybody is having a talent crunch. It is said that the most important aspect of a startup is the team. Have we grossly overlooked something? Or do things just [...]

Ideas are Immortal. Let’s Recycle.

Posted by: Vijay on: May 24, 2008

There is nothing new under the sun. Nothing Whatsoever. Ideas are just evolved from one form to another to adapt and wear a new dress.
I often used to quote the phrase that “Ideas are worth nothing. Implementation is all that matters”. Its true, but it also frustrates a lot of people who think they have [...]

Weekend Summary.

Posted by: Vijay on: April 13, 2008

Phew, this has been another crazy weekend following the last. It was great to finally sleep in and wake up around noon today (sunday) and unwind with all the stress and lack of sleep that was quickly catching up.
I was in bangalore this weekend for an official meet and it was fun to meet up [...]

Mulling Over a New Kinda Barcamp.

Posted by: Vijay on: April 7, 2008

Update: This post was made on April 7th, much before the recently concluded Barcamp Bangalore 6. Keep that in mind.
Barcamps, they are happening everywhere now. There are debates and raging discussions on as to whether we “interpreted” the format right, but whether or not, its still going on. Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Kerala, Hyderabad [...]

The Weekend Past. Quite eventful.

Posted by: Vijay on: April 6, 2008

Saturday was Startup Lunch in Bangalore and kudos to the guys [Sridhar, Pradeep and Ashish Sinha] who are spearheading the effort there, it went really really really well. There is an account by the organizing team which goes through most of the details. I am quite impressed, and kinda glad to know that there is [...]

Bangalore based Headstart.in

Posted by: Vijay on: November 27, 2007

When we first laid down the groundwork for Proto, one of the things that I sincerely wished to see was more initiatives like Proto spring up, so that – for one, we’d strive to deliver more value to the entrepreneurs who need all the support they can, and hopefully we can move on to focus [...]

I Fix, Goes National

Posted by: Vijay on: October 16, 2007

I am quite impressed at the way people have taken this simple concept and have chosen to run with it. As skeptical as most folks were, our third campaign had about 30+ people who were out on the roads fixing one of the issues that this city (Chennai) faces – potholes on city roads.
There [...]
