We Really Don’t Dream Big Enough.
Posted by: Vijay on: November 2, 2008
I grew up with a poster in my room saying “The size of your world is as big as your dreams”. It was always there when you woke up to remind you to think beyond the box. It still hangs there in my room at my parents place. It’s the thought that came into my [...]

The Indian Startups’ Nightmare: Where are the Early Adopters?
Posted by: Vijay on: May 18, 2008
So I’ve been through this roller coaster of a ride so far in these past four years working with Startups here in India. There seem to be seasons of issues that seem to “plague” an entrepreneur from starting off. First it was the funding, then it was the lack of mentors. Lately it has shifted [...]
