Dear Budding n aspiring Entrepreneurs

We had a fantastic first day,packed with some great talks by the young studs who have proven themselves in the global market,some words of wisdom from the professionals and industry experts,some pep talk by the budding entrepreneurs and a sumptuous lunch. What more one could ask for?
The day started with the keynote session delivered by Dr Sunil Sherlekar:head of embedded systems at TCS who focussed on the opportunities and challenges faced by the technopreneurs , difference between a manager and a teacher,Technology and its various components and linking them with strategy, Patenting and its pros and cons and finally Learning Management as a theory and comparing with natural sciences and finally Motivation and desire.

Iconic Ad slogans like ‘Just Do It’, ‘Impossible Is Nothing’ and its ilk
are slowly and steadily being used by an entirely different variety of
human beings and this particular species are growing by the day in
India. They possess inherent qualities of grit, gumption, passion among
others. This group lives in voluntary isolation and refuse to swim with
the flow, in short THEY ARE REBELS. I hope you would have got it by now.

Hello All Technopreneurs(existing/in the making)

I think this is an extremely unique initiative taken by ITVidya.Infact today is the right n ripe time to indulge into the unknown world of entrepreneurship and India has produced some gr8 technopreneurs and their start-ups like Sabeer Bhatia(Hotmail Guy),Mr Bhikhchandani(man behind naukri.com,99acres.com etc),Avnish Bajaj(Bazee.com:now e-bay india),Jerry Rao n Pramod Bhasin(BPO forefathers),NRN,Azeem Premji(infy n wipro bosses) and countless other protagonists of successful ventures have left an indelible mark on the psyche of all and sundry.

I am a great believer in entrepreneurship, and believe there is lot of talent in the industry, which the companies are not able to nurture, and the employees are also not able to go out and start their own initiatives and failing to realize their potential.

This article suggests some solutions of venture creations, where employees and companies can come together and share the risks and rewards, it is a great proposition and hopefully many will be encouraged to launch their dream venture.

I am a big fan of Rajesh Acharya's idea of Samooha, which clearly is a web 3.0 model of businesses working seamlessly in a collaborative,inter-dependendent environment.

Narain shared with me another great web 3.0 idea which will allow creation of many web2.0 projects effortlessly. Connect with him if you want to forward your web 2.0 ideas faster.

Narain, also refered to me to a great project swarmcreativity.net, and this document on Coin - Collaborative Innovation Network reveals on how we are at the dawn of a whole new way of working together. ITVidya aims to facilitate innovations, collaborations, actions and transactions amongst our target community of Indian IT Professionals and Technopreneurs, and the global IT community and businesses who want to tap into these talent, Thanks Narain for sharing the document, it has already forwarded my thinking.
