Terror, Terror and Terror…………
Terror, Terror and Terror
I guess that’s what is there on everyone’s mind today – feeling very livid and very helpless as we can’t do much other than sparing a moment about the whole tragedy, the innocent victims who laid their lives and may be lighting a candle. Feels very upset over the sad state of affairs.
Entrepreneurship and the Marathon
Entrepreneurship and the Marathon
I know many people in their talks, essays and articles keep comparing entrepreneurship to running long distances or what we say marathons. Many a times I used to wonder why, I myself is a avid long distance runner – used to run 20kms and not I have sort of scaled down to 10, nevertheless long distance and I had an opportunity to do the same today too and this thought occurred to me again and I started drawing similarities.

“EXECUTION – The Discipline of getting things done” by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan
More on Mentorship
Probably the most read blog of mine was on mentorship. I got lot of replies and comments direct to my inbox (in total 40) – thank you all so much for the feedback. One thing stood out in all the comments was for me to name the mentor and in fact I did not name him for two reasons, first the objective of the blog was to create awareness on the mentorship and their advantages rather than the “mentor’ itself and again I hadn’t taken permission per say from my mentors (Why I am using the plural word here, I will come back to it soon ) to name them but now that almost everyone asked me to reveal their names and I did go back to my mentors for their approval and have got it, let me introduce them here.
Developing Tier2 and Tier3 cities for IT, way to go or no way Jose?
I keep hearing time and again that time is now ripe to go to Tier2 and Tier3 cities for IT and ITES companies. Being part of a big city or Tier1 city and being an SME, we keep wondering too whether should we go or not and if yes is the time ripe and if so, can SEMs go first or it is the business of the large corporations such as a Infosys, or a Wipro or a TCS to setup the operations and the ecosystem first and then the SMEs to follow? I don’t know the answer and I have been analyzing the pros and cons of the same for quite some time and let me analyze the same here and let me think loud (in this case let me pen down as I think along).
“Go Kiss the World”
“Go Kiss the World”
This is the latest book by Subroto Bagchi (co-founder of MindTree) and the book I read non-stop last weekend. The book is very interesting and inspiring to say the least. This is one of those typical-weekend read or a travel read book which you can finish in few hours in a single read. Definitely good read especially for budding entrepreneurs and IT guys as well.
