Its been a while since I’ve written here. I am not going to apologize for it. The reason being simple. I once by accident went back a year and on what I “was” thinking, and i realized how fast the space of startups, innovation and clarity was emerging. I am not even seeing the evolution [...]
The experts in Marketing would usually say that, marketing, pricing, the sales process, and the customer satisfaction that follows that can all be related with a simple equation. Satisfaction = Reality – Expectations. (Thanks!) And they would be right. I remember a call from my dad’s friend about a year ago, to come over to [...]
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 [...]
