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 [...]

You must know by now that we get involved in quite a bit of work related to the city. I believe that a city is a representation, collection and expression of the people living in it. If you walk into a city and cannot hear the voices, and expressions of its people, the city … [...]
India a Technology Leader. Possible?
Posted by: Vijay on: May 26, 2008
That was the title of a talk that happened at the Fastrack Sessions of Proto.in January Edition. Since we are sitting on three editions of fabulous talks, I thought I’d take the pains to transcribe them one at a time whenever i find the time so that the larger audience – some who didnt and [...]

I never thought I’d get into this. The IPL frenzie, I mean. Too much of pompous marketing hype, and a proof of what would happen if cricket was more than cricket and added bollywood and cheerleaders to the mix – thats what I thought. I had initially gotten some tickets from a friend, and had [...]

Ideas to Toss: Food Outlet Chain in Colleges
Posted by: Vijay on: March 6, 2008
It all occured to me when I was invited for a panel in an engineering college here in Chennai and the drive seemed to last longer than the allocated time for my talk. The college is 40kms away from the heart of the city and needless to say right in the middle of developmental regions. [...]
A Startup Issue: The Talent Crunch.
Posted by: Vijay on: February 14, 2008
If you are a startup and are using one of the rare and well-known (oxymoronic?) platforms as your development platform, you’ll most certainly know what I am talking about.
