About Me.....

My Name is Abhishek Srivastava and I have been associated with Software Industry for the last 14 years. It is been a real good journey for me and I enjoyed it to the hilt. But now I am on a journey to start up on my own. The journey has just started and I am planning to start my venture in next 8-10 months. Obviously this is the period where I have started to explore the details on the concept. I wanted to chronicle the joy, excitement, pains, pitfalls, failures, successes etc etc throughout this journey as and when it happens.

Sometimes I feel am I doing the right thing ? Am I taking too much of risk ? Do I have the right skills to be an entrepreneur ? Will I get the needed funding and from where ? What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur ? Does my concept make business sense ?

In the future postings, I will put my thoughts as I get/experience answers to the above...................

I welcome thoughts/experiences from people who have succeeded, failed or are trying because the experiences/learnings from the real life are invaluable.

~Cheers

Hi Abhishek,
First of all thanks for blogrolling me ;-)
This is a nice and impressive way to inform people that you are starting up..Who knows even VC's might be seeing your blog.I am also working on my small idea and am searching for like minded people.
Do let me know if we can support each other.Do drop me a mail at himanshu.sheth@gmail.com so that we can stay in touch.

I liked some blogs which you have blogrolled and hence would put on my blog as well.

Expecting a reply.

Interesting blog you got, here! Even after spending my entire working life with the interactive media (that's 8 years now...which is quite a lot on the Net!), the power and beauty of the Web still amazes me.
Glad to make your acquaintance.
I've not been writing much these days. Work's taking most of my time. Would be good to know what you're up to.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
Cheers
Jojo
