This is a continuation to a Post that I had written Earlier. “Yahoo could emerge with an edge, if they leapfrog into other verticals following the same web-based advertisement network.” For a company which has entrenched itself in the media space, managing advertisements networks i probably the holy grail. I wouldnt recommend that Yahoo give [...]
So I know that there are a gazillion guys out there in the whole wide world, who have given “open” advise to Yahoo as to what they should do. I am neither an expert, nor am vested into the company to have such generosity towards them A friend of mine and I, over some conversations [...]
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 [...]
My mentor oft used to say that everyone had something to teach us. It was all a matter of either what you should do, or what you should never do. If you look back at everyone in your life, that’d probably quite nicely fit the bill. If you are at all interested in Startups, or [...]

It is said that the most important aspect of a startup is the team. Have we grossly overlooked something? Or do things just [...]
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, [...]
Guruji, for what its due to them, have been quite consistent with their logo. But it seems Google is on a rebranding spree. From the use of their Capital G, they are going to a smaller G which eerily looks like what Guruji’s logo is. Considering that Guruji’s logo is two years (or more) old, [...]
If you really look at what is driving most of the sustainable internet businesses – starting from Seventymm, Storrz to Canvera, its in the ability to handle the logistics involved behind it flawlessly. If you want a grander example to learn from, understand learn from the multi-million dollar backoffice processes that Amazon.com has in place [...]
