Right side of the Table

I am an Entrepreneur based out of Chennai, India. My startup, Ventuno.in, is working on building new media video solutions.


After my engineering degree in India, I took the usual route that many in my time did, went to the US to do my masters degree. After that I worked for couple of companies - Creatus Inc for 2 years and TIBCO Software Inc for 6 years - in the Bay Area before packing my bags and coming back home.


This blog is not aimed at anything in particular, but most probably would end up providing an insight in to what my world looks like.

Startups are like swiss cheese, full of holes with an appetizing flavor.  As the company grows and starts hitting the market you end up meeting a lots of professionals; Freshly minted MBA VCs with no operational experience, large company executives who you engage with for selling/marketing your products and services, established company executives who you are building potential partnerships with and your first few professional employees.  Typically they end up looking at the holes and not the flavor - potential.   

Simply explain to them that ‘we do the best we can with what we have’.  If they get it, you are in luck, if not, don’t waste your time; they will never get it.
