india startup tips in proto.in


No , No I am not a strtup guy. I don’t have any thing to start now.

Yea but I can work for you. So if you have any thing to work/code/analyse/test/hack then let me know, that I can do that.

Yesterday I was watching the Official proto.in video channel and after so many days I liked the talk given my Mr. Mahesh Murthy. I really got some energy to think more for some idea and work for it. Let see.

Here i am summarizing the points what he mentioned in his talk, that will be helpful for me and other in future.

  • If you have a product in your mind don’t even bother just go ahead. Your idea is your idea and if you think is good then just go ahead.
  • Price – Price of the product is your weapon.
    • Never give lesser price to your product. Analyze the price and give the competitive price of your product. Your price would give the tension to your competitor.
    • He gave good example that if you are 20 person company then by lesser price you can never catch a 2000 person company, they will be
      always ahead.
    • Only competitive price will give tension to the opposite party.
  • User Interface – UI should be good. No compromise with UI.
    • bad, crappy UI shows the cheapness in your product.
    • Good UI will give good competition.
  • Customers – Getting customers/users for your site.
    • Any startup look for first 100 customers. If they are with feel-good-fector then automatically 100 will converted to 100*n times.
    • Get your customers/users from confs/events/get-together. At these places you can adv your product free of your cost.
    • For paid confs/events, represent your self as speaker so your will get free entry. 🙂
  • Marketing – He gave one statement, sorry I dont understant that.
    • Not necessary that more budget will give more success.
    • “Competence is a marketer, is inversely proportional to your marketing budget.” I really don’t understood this. 😦
    • “More the budget is less the brain”. 🙂
  • Be the Master
    • Be the master in your field.
    • Do some research in your field and you should be thought leader in your field.
  • Don’t follow the trends
    • You can almost never be successful by following the trend.
    • Trend is like end.

Wow, what a nice talk, you can get/see/watch/listen more talk on Official proto.in video channel.

Till then I will collect more talk and summarize this for you all and for me too. 🙂

Happy Startup. 😛

exploring mumbai for pav-bhaji


So yesterday was friday. I called my cousin After my office which is in borivali, and his office is in vikroli. I asked him dude, where to go.

He told, lets come to matunga central, you will get good pav-bhaji there. I think it was kings circle or maheshweri circle.
And I said wow, for 25 rs pav-bhaji we went all the way to matunga.

Reached there at 2230 and reached home at 0100 :D.

And at last we ended with awesome pav-bhaji, where pav is “lasan wala pav” then “eagle (goregaon) wala icecream { chiku and kesar flavor } 😛

जमीन पर चटाई बिछा रखी थी, ऐसा लग रहा था मानो पंगत मैं बैठ कर खाना खा रहे हो.
बस, फ़िर उसके बाद eagle wala ice-cream, अरे वही अपने गोरेगांव वाला eagle ice-cream. 😀

But we explored a lot that day. That is how we called as pure food junkies. 😛

Wow, nice weekend is waiting for us.

BarcampBangalore

Now this time the barcamp is with the new idea as collactive.

I am intrested for 2 things as summary.

  • BCB4_Photo_Collective
    • I am a junk photographer. In photos I live on this Flickr page. Or you can search “ganuullu” this is my userid for flickr. I just love photos so this time from barcamp I will learn the creatives ways to take photos and some tips and tricks for photography. 🙂
  • BCB4_BangPypers
    • I love Python. Sorry I do not know this language but I still like this language. When I was doing my MCA 6th sem intern project in IIM-A then some one gave me this name. From that time I am fascinated for this language. I did some small program for learning this language. Now in this event I will understand the depth of this language. And here I will get the community for the help. huff!! I have lots of things to learn in Python.

And let see what other collacitve are usefull. 🙂

Happy barcamp’ing. Happy Geeking. 🙂
