What Started 700 days ago…
Posted by: Vijay on: July 15, 2008
There are only a whole total of 14 tasks that need to be done before the event,and given the capable team that we have this time, and the sheer level of enthusiasm flowing, I dont see that to be a problem. The core team from Chennai, Bangalore, and other places are starting to fly in [...]
Living On Instant Noodles.
Posted by: Vijay on: June 19, 2008
I’m convinced that we are doing something wrong.
During a conversation with someone who has experience beyond my age, on how the product landscape in India is evolving, he smiled, took the time to coin his words (into something more politically correct) and said, “Nobody is really changing the rules of the game. Everyone is [...]
A Funded Startup: An Alienated Brother.
Posted by: Vijay on: June 10, 2008
I have seen this cycle happen over and over again. There would be a set of guys who’d be around in most barcamps and social circles and someday they’d decide to start a company, and eventually build a product that’d gain quite a bit of traction from the “first adopters” that you find in barcamps, [...]
Keeping ME Happy.
Posted by: Vijay on: June 10, 2008
So this is how the evolution of services have been. First there were services which could not be expanded all over the place because the cost of rolling them out was huge. Take the case of banking services, telecom etc – it was not a simple task. Only the elite, socially rich could afford them [...]

The Startup Kit. Part I.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 28, 2008
It’s a darn good time to be an entrepreneur in India – but only if you know whats available to you. I have been coming across a whole lot of resources that are available to an entrepreneur today, that you perhaps are not aware of.
The beauty about growing a startup or an SME is that [...]
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 [...]
Proto.in ‘08 July Edition. What to expect.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 4, 2008
It’s hard to believe that the core team behind Proto.in has been at it for more than two years now. It was in 2005 that the team came together to figure out what we want to do for the budding entrepreneurial space here in India, and help facilitate the growth of the startup community. We’ve [...]
India doesn’t “need” anyone.

I’m probably taking a 180 degree turn, and maybe a few more swirls on this post, considering my last entry on design and technology, but I think this is gonna have to be said, sooner or later.
There are a couple of things that I am noticing lately.
1. People who are back from the US and [...]
