Applying the 2.0 philosophy to non-obvious things, seems an interesting thing to do! The best part with internet, is it’s power to aggregate and disseminate information – to connect people that live in different worlds, in ways that create value for both the parties!
I’d thought over this one long ago, and more thoroughly than I [...]

Wisdom Tooth Hurts…

It’s weird, I’d initiated this post last year and I dont’ remember the context! The title sure seems interesting enough for me to rethink and start a journey through my years of having gained wisdom and how I don’t like it so much!
These might sound like rants of the angst, but well, first hand learning!

Internet Marketing in India?
Posted in Entrepreneurship, Internet, tagged advertising, agency, entrepreneurs, Internet, marketing on January 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Have been breaking my head all day to understand the suite of services that a complete internet division in an ad agency must have, to be able to deliver genuine value to the clients. Got to ensure that the clients are not put off with their early experiments, but instead, get increasingly excited by what [...]
Students turning entrepreneurs.. are they?

A journalist friend called up yesterday, she was researching on the trends of students turning entrepreneurs straight from campus, in the wake of the economic crisis, and wanted my opinion to form her own perspective!
Funny, I don’t have too many facts to side with either thought – whether or not there are more entrepreneurs coming [...]
Psychology of an Entrepreneur!

Kevin O’Connor listed down some traits that makes entrepreneurs tick.
Though I’m a little unsure about some points, but since this allows me some justification of my lunacy, behind the veil of an entrepreneur, I think I like this one
1. Need to control and believe you control
2. Self-confidence
3. Rebellious
4. Need to innovate
5. Urgency, [...]
Mentor?
Posted in Entrepreneurship, tagged advice, advisor, mentor on October 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
As an entrepreneur, you’d perhaps have a degree of confidence in your ideas, plans and abilities. That would bring in some amount of arrogance too, in thinking that you don’t need advice or guidance. Sharp feedback hurts you, you don’t like tough questions that you haven’t answered to yourself. You hate being made uncomfortable.
If you’re [...]
Lifestreaming for India?

Am borrowing from pheedo about his conceptualization of lifestreaming,
Lifestreaming is the aggregation and merging of multiple RSS feeds into a single point of entry. Once the feeds are setup, the data is added automatically to a Lifestream. The output is a concentrated unique stream of information comprised of a person’s ideas, beliefs, passions, thoughts, and [...]
Good Time to Startup?

With a good part of my digital media consumption coming from international blogs, typically talking about the startup and technology scenario in the US etc, I figured I needed to spend some more time closer home, understanding Internet in India, what the user behavior is like, what’s really happening and what’s expected to happen!
With financing [...]
Selling your idea?

It’s interesting to see how well you’re able to sell your idea while it’s still in the idea stage. Do talk about it to people. Don’t be too afraid of leaking the idea. Do remember that people may not criticize or put you down, simply because,
People have an incentive not to crush your dreams
Sweet talkers [...]
Touchy about Idea? Don’t be!
Posted in Entrepreneurship, tagged competition, fear, idea on October 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Most young aspiring entrepreneurs I’ve met, have always had this touch of secrecy about their idea itself thinking that they’ll lose out if someone else picked up and executed it. I don’t blame them because I was like that myself for a long time, but it doesn’t work that way!
It’s actually a mistake to hold [...]
