The Quintessential Ethos for Start-ups - Ad Venture Capital




The concept of start-ups in india is not new. But the nurturing of start-ups is maybe still nascent.
We do still have the independent contribuitors like Narayana Murthy, Vinod Khosla and the The Indus Entrepreneurs network. But what is needed is Government initiatives which can stream roll the process and we could then see the light of the day for more indigenous innovations from our own indian stables :).

Operating costs are still high in India compared to China and some other countries.
A major roadblock for our country is the power costs for running an office. A civilian nuclear power supply will reduce the power costs and a factor of our operating costs. I feel the government has to study the grey areas for Entrepreneurs in a new light after the recent Global meltdown.
The Success of Israel is one such example.

The governments Right perspective in the nick of time would be a bliss to the budding Entrepreneurs.

Closing Quotes : 2009




The Year 2009 ended on a Tragic note for Kannadigas with the death of a very fine actor and Even better human being, Dr Vishnuvardhan. His YearGlass is over turned and maybe he is already landed someplace else (Avatar ?? )
It was sad that his death was so early and his ever increasing contributions to the celluloid have been cut short. His Funeral procession was marked by Violence from people who in my opinion do not qualify as Fans but only as illiterate Hooligans. Its sad the Police could not control the situation even after a similar incident during Rajkumar's funeral procession.
I understand the irritation of trying to keep the sensible peace when everyone else is deliberately upsetting it for nothing. can be tough!

Well for me i rely on the Darwinian saying... thus spake..
" It is not the strongest or the most intelligent that survive but the ones most responsive to *change* "
its time the police in India became tougher smarter. The Supreme courts recent observations on molestation amounting to rape are a new paradigm shift in Indian Judicial machinery. This will cut short the lives of Criminals in positions of power. But of course more needs to be done to avoid ridiculous impotent judicial system which happened in Ruchika's case.
The CBI has turned out as a Central Bogey of Investigation and I feel all indians have long lost all hope from it.

I wonder if the Government has the nerve to re-open similar cases against people in its own Hierarchy ??

I guess not!!! otherwise Skeletons will tumble out of every closet including the presidents office, The Judiciary and the Politicking class (as Mr Tharoor would call it).
