There is a lot of knowledge that resides among people, and not everybody is able to make it to real-life meets. In an increasingly connected world, it might make sense to make use of the technology that exists. There are also a lot of folks - aspiring entrepreneurs in tier II cities who do want to make it to the ranks, but do lack the know-how to move forward.

Here’s a means to solve that Problem.

Proto.in, along with VentureWoods and a host of other partners have started this online chat initiative called The Startup Chat. It will be live every Saturday between 10am - 5pm (IST) and people can connect to the site, login, and interact with people to get support in whatever they might be looking for.

It would be great to have the support of this community - as there are lots of mature and experienced entrepreneurs here. Do login and help out. And it would be great to catch up with all of you in real time as well. Look forward to seeing you there.

Friends, writing the Vision India 2020 series has been extremely interesting and rewarding. The series is being syndicated by Indian newspaper, DNAIndia, and I keep receiving emails from entrepreneurs who are working on / thinking about ventures along the lines of my Vision India columns. Here are the ones that I have written so far:

Preface, MIT India, Urja, Lucid, Darjeeling, Renaissance, Gangotri, Maya Ray, Elixar, Bioscope, Thakur, and AdiShakti.

Each venture has built-in scalability to become billion dollar enterprises, and I encourage entrepreneurs looking for ideas to work on some of these.

Here are pointers to the articles so far in this series:

  1. Preface
  2. MIT India: Engineering Education
  3. Urja: Global Fashion Brand
  4. Lucid: K-12 Education

MIT India and Urja have also generated a great deal of discussion, which I welcome you to read and participate in.

Lucid is a new piece, and I expect, will generate similar discussion soon.
