Re: The future of Indian Web2.0 start-ups – Will they be successful ?

Shubham — Wed, 30 May 2007 06:27:57 -0000

I think some Indian startups are going to make money but most of them are going to go bankrupt. If you have a look at the current Indian web 2.0 sites, most of them are based on US idea like youtube, social networking etc. Most of these sites are not able to get enough resources to make people shift from the US counterparts. Only some sites like Indianpad.com are able to get some share of their US counterparts like Reddit.

A good review. Its good to see Indian Startups getting more publicity. Zoho definitely seems a great startup with quality products. I have used the Zoho Polls and they seem a dream to me.

I applaud your effort of trying to make Zoho more popular, and urge others to follow. Lets make Indian Startups popular!

I don't know how the others have managed. The abuse of H1b by Indian Companies is a long story. They are clogging the roads to US for a lot of people who actually deserve to go there.

Atleast Microsoft takes the employees to US. Most Indian companies file for H1b's just for the heck of it.

Reminds me of the Raymonds ad "You can take a man out of India but you cannot take India out of a man!"

Re: Which is the most creative television advertisement in India till date ?

Shubham — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 02:11:30 -0000

The best ad I think would be airtel, the one where they give various lines like "one finger can break a billion hearts, one voice can move a nation, another can break walls .... " it is really an amazing and extemely moving ad.

Re: Investing or not investing? Analyzing the risks of new India.

Shubham — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 00:58:20 -0000

Figures can be decieving, the tertiary sector in India where most foreign investors are putting their money is growing at a much much faster rate. Moreover infrastructure and many other problems don't cause too much problem in tertiary sector. Inflation is a concern but overall the buying power of an average Indian is increasing and hence there is a huge market to tap. India definitely deserves more investment. The only problem in India is the political problems, where ruling parties change and suddenly the entire development plans change, except that India is a great place to put your money in.

Re: Indian Telecommunication story: From 10 million to 150 million mobile subscribers in 5 years.

Shubham — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 02:35:48 -0000

Definitely the scope of Telecommunication industry in India is huge, the scope of broadband is quite low because for now the average Indian knows what a phone is, he knows how to operate it but not internet.

Most people of one generation above us know how to call and receive calls but not sms and other features of the phones. They will get mobile connections but not internet connections. But with things moving online like airlines ticketing, railways tickets and other such things, this trend just might change.

One more way to describe Mr Mallya is by saying that he is the Richard Branson of India. The way Kingfisher is going, it surely seems true :)

Re: Rediff Takeover: Rumor or Reality ?

Shubham — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:10:08 -0000

Rediff does deserve credit. It is one of the oldest indian portals managing to maintain quality and consistency for such a long time. Definitely it will be a great addition for any company (Google or Yahoo!) in making a big stride into the Indian Market.

Re: Indian Real Estate prices: How I made fool of myself

Shubham — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 11:01:58 -0000

Indian Real Estate is going to go up for sometime atleast. Private Equity firms have stepped into it and they are definitely going to take it at a higher price.

Re: Indian Tourism Ministry embraces E-Commerce

Shubham — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 11:03:11 -0000

The Incredible India banners all over Jersey City in New Jersey do make the point that India does want to attract tourism. Unfortunately the services we give to our tourists once they come here is the problem.

Re: Gaming consoles in India may actually work

Shubham — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 01:20:34 -0000

A good point that to market games in India you need a different kind of strategy. Will such a strategy evolve? Quite difficult. The poverty line, the low income, the low infrastructure will not attract an industry like gaming.

Re: Women making hard choices

Shubham — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 16:20:23 -0000

A very interesting article indeed. Being in a relationship across such vast distances is ofcourse very very difficult (ofcourse marriage ads more pressure). Trying to manage something like this myself.

Anyways, really like ur conclusion, "Women can have it all. They just cant have it all at the same time." but I think it applies to supportive men as well ;)
