Do you remember the popular Iodex advertisement? It gave a very simple but yet a meaningful message about pain relief. Today, we are at a stage where, to some extent, we find ourselves in Aha moment compared to Aah or Ouch moment that we had about 4 months ago when we started cleaning up mess[…]
In this fast world, we are so much obsessed with hurrying that we tend to get all things done ASAP. Every account manager or customer answers that he wished the results to be delivered yesterday, when asked on timelines. Net result? Many a times, the quality goes for a toss. It took nearly 22 years[…]
Let me start this short blog by listing the typical myths that sometimes unknowingly bog down many people – • I can’t lead if I am not at the top • When I get to the top, then I’ll learn to lead • When I get to the top, I’ll be in control • I[…]
Although I had published my previous blog on ‘Paralyzed Productivity’; I was not too happy about it. I admit, in a hurry of keeping my commitment of publishing at least one blog every month; I had narrated my latest experience with one of our customer and had ended up sharing mostly the pain points without[…]

You get a genuine prospect, you ask for requirements, tend to believe that you have understood the requirements since you would like to close the deal, you prepare a set of documents under the different names of design plan, development plan, resource plan, timelines plan, implementation plan, deployment plan, testing plan etc; and then you[…]
“Do you charge for providing services on open source products? Or do they come free along with the product?” This is a typical question that is asked when we go out for providing demos on Open Source products. Thank God, they don’t ask if our premises are free for their usage and if employees work[…]
When Shakespeare wrote about it, I am not sure if he also referred to names of organizations. At least, I felt obliged to ensure that our startup should have a relevant name that symbolizes our objective of business. I believe that there are many things in a name. It’s a different topic to debate what[…]
Here I go. One more acronym to be considered adding to zillion ones existing already– thanks to my attempts to acquire as many “prospective” customers as I can for my startup.
