I think there is a innate problem here. Startups do have a talent attraction problem. But it also has to come at a cost that they can afford. And at most times, its close to zero. Can that be made affordable? I think very much so. It’s a simple effort to help facilitate and make [...]
Everyone, and Just about anyone with a background in Economics and can understand the market will tell you that a healthy market is supposed to be somewhat close to what C.K.Prahalad defined and popularized as – atleast here in India – a Pyramid.
