[abhinav] Yes, dont expect too many people keen on startups in India - there are some but tough to find. People here have an affinity for big companies and brands - when I quit Motorola for an unknown startup, people looked at me as I if was barking mad making claims of moon being made of cheese. :)

[abhinav] Initial prototype in India? Absolutely not unless you are sure of the team. A problem with the Indian IT segment is that it is services driven and the product thinking has just not percolated through. So, assemble the right team.Private Reply to Abhinav Goyal (new win) |
