What Do Startups Need?
Posted by: Vijay on: September 9, 2008
Seems like that’s the kind of question a lot of companies which are looking to support, nurture and grow alongside Startups are asking themselves these days.
I’m invited to be part of a fairly small panel that is to discuss on this very topic tomorrow in Bangalore in a short meetup that Sun Microsystems is putting [...]
Speed is Important. Accuracy is Crucial.
Posted by: Vijay on: August 15, 2008
Startup Entrepreneurs are oodles of Fun to work with. Perhaps its that drive within them to change things, and the paranoia of taking on a bigger industry which adds to all that. As hectic as it could be, its nothing short of exhilarating – I seem to be gasping for breathe during the slow times [...]
Starting off: The Incremental and the Iterative Way.
Posted by: Vijay on: August 4, 2008
I love the weekends. Especially the ones where you pretty much meet people after people, and get to see the world through a different set of eyes and perspectives. Always loved that.
So there goes the past weekend, which has just about been the most amazing weekend ever – after a really really long time, and [...]
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 [...]
On I.T Magazine: Avoiding Startup Hiccups.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 12, 2008
Actually this would be my third or fourth time being quoted extensively in an article in this magazine. Just as the Startup community is growing, there is also a lot of affiliated media that is growing along with them – I.T Magazine, Cybermedia’s Dare, Smarttechie, all are magazine’s looking to cater to the “entrepreneurial” kind [...]
Befriend an Investor.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 8, 2008
When should you go meet an investor, say hello and buy him a cup of coffee? Anytime, and hopefully at a time when you arent bootstrapping a company.
An entrepreneur in residence today asked me how come most companies in the valley, and even a few companies here in India manage to raise millions of “dollars” [...]
Ideas to Toss: Professional UGC.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 2, 2008
Professional User-Generated Content. You think its Oxymoronic? Think again. Let me cite to you two examples. Rocketboom, and ZeFrank. I dont think Frank is doing the show anymore, but Rocketboom is essentially a low-budget, five minute clip which basically is one of those “tequila shot” videos, giving you a summary of everything thats going on [...]
The Absolute Startup Essentials. Part III.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 1, 2008
Putting the right tools in place, can make the difference between you having to be stuck in the office managing the team, vs, a system doing its job and you supervising and even better – you remote managing your team and keeping a pulse on how things are progressing.
It sounds like a dream, but isnt [...]
What Nobody Ever Tells You.
Posted by: Vijay on: May 1, 2008
You could be this crazy economist turned entrepreneur, and can have a gazillion keywords and phrases to explain every phenomenon under the sun, but the funny thing about economics is that they usually explain everything that has happened, and can even explain what is happening, but could never quite explain whats going to happen. You [...]
