Small Is Beautiful

Working on a startup is a tremendous learning process. Along with the technical learning, I also get to meet and work with a diverse bunch of folks. I firmly believe in the power of partnerships as a means for small firms to survive and grow, and have been lucky in forming a set of crucial tie-ups with firms that complement our own skills and abilities. Some of these have turned out to be mutually beneficial relationships that have provided a steady stream of work both ways, and crucial inputs on trends in the industry and what our competition is up to. Others have been more psychological comfort than hard cash, however their presence on our portfolio would have indirectly helped generate sales, as clients gained confidence in the spectrum of services we could provide through our partners, although they were only interested in the stuff we did. However large or small, there is one thing that all my partner companies share - a desire and a passion for growth. In fact, I do not think I ...

I have a trustworthy face

I recently made one of my now-too-frequent trips to the hospital, where the doc gave me her practiced severe look for not taking care of myself, and prescribed pills for gastritis. One of these pills turned out to contain bacteria , something I find slightly disgusting and very cool. Damn. Five missed calls. And an sms: "Pl cd u call back? I just needed some information".

She searched around on the internet and found that I'm from that college too. "I looked at your alumni page, and felt I could ...

Weird people I know

The phone rang. Which was a relief, since Arjun had dropped it just a few moments back, breaking it into three pieces and hastily joining it back together. And I was curious to know, without appearing too rude, if the thing still worked. "Yo!", I said. It was Senthil , and it is always a pleasure chinwagging with Senti. Plus, I have to be on my best behavior with colleagues who have - and exercise - the power to ruin my vacation plans by giving me work to do. "I say, are you at the office now?", asked Senti. I replied in the affirmative, since it appeared from all sensory inputs that I was. "Are you very busy with work? I mean to say, do you have some time?" I have known Senti a while, and this is how he usually leads up to asking for a favor. Quite the polite gravedigger, he is. This time around, I decided to pull a friendly leg. "Well, actually, I am quite deep in work. Up to my neck, in fact, and getting deeper by the minute. But for you , I am a...
