I recently participated in an ET panel discussion. The slides are attached below.   Some recommendation to entrepreneurs Hard to predict when markets would be getting better Cut down burn to the extent possible Try to get to profitability asap Don’t spend ahead of market to try and get market-share Great time to understand need build value into products and services, without overspending on sales marketing Make sure you’re in it for the right reasons; not for a quick exit, esp, with India still being very early in many ways

Dotcom burst in 2000-2001 was the worst time for IT professionals. It hit almost all big IT companies throughout the world. That dot-com burst or IT bubble burst wiped away as much as $5 trillion from IT companies. Among worst hits, professionals were leading the hierarchy. The current scenario reflects more or less the same situation. US economy is recessing and IT world is again facing a setback. At this moment, you are left with lesser options or excuses to defend yourself for a kick throwing you out of the job. In such turmoil, businesses just look for the alternatives that can save them money and cut on costs. Management does not care to give you a moment’s notice and you are out of th...

1 Less Capital Cost
2 Less competition
http://www.CEOBusinessManagement.com:  |  Supported idea  "Less competition"  |  2 years ago
Well you can say that it's a many different things all rolled into one. But with there being less competition can lead to cheaper start-up costs. Someone could get ahead of their competition while they're down and out. Also once the economy...
Shaju George  |  Added idea  "Less Capital Cost"  |  2 years ago
Due to recession, prices are going down which will help in setting up the start up at lesser capital expeses. Rentals, interest rates.. all are in the negative trend due to which there is a good scope for negotiations in all fields and better prices.
vishab veer singh rana  |  Supported idea  "Less Capital Cost"  |  2 years ago

  Hi friends, Here is a small list of startups which were considered as `trailblazers' and `sizzlers' till a year back have either closed down or have been sold. I wonder till what extent this slowdown monster will be there........ Guava Technologies Guava Technologies Inc is among the startups that sold themselves up for sums which experts term less than what their investors may have spent on them. Millipore Corp acquired Guava Technologies, a developer of cell-analysis systems, for $22.6 million. California-based Guava made roughly $22 million in revenue last year. TZero Technologies Another tech start-up that fell victim to the economic downturn was TZero Technologies, a Ultra-wideband (...

By Jess Halliday, UK organic farmers will not have the option to switch to conventional animal feed during the recession, the Soil Association has decided, as a consultation raised concern for consumer confidence. In late 2008 organic certifiers began floating the idea for organic farmers to have the option to feed some animals conventional feed for a limited time, in order to have some respite from the higher costs of organic feed. These animals would cease to be organic and any produce derived from them would not be labelled as organic. However under the rules of organic certification, switching some animals to conventional feed would mean the entire farm would lose its organic status, ev...

Shameena W.  |  Argues in support of  "cutting salaries"  |  3 months ago
Yes Renashmi, great insight. Clearly money has to be pumped into the economy at times like this. However it should be regulated and not used to further bulge the treasury of the political and industrial netas.
Srinivas suravajhala  |  Argues in support of  "cutting jobs"  |  3 months ago
There are many more ways to cut down the costs.I dont believe these are the only two ways to choose. Ensure cost cutting measures in every walk of the business. From procurement to distribution. Wastage has to be cut, use the HR to the most....
Renashmi Kaur  |  Argues in support of  "cutting salaries"  |  3 months ago
Neither - the best is to target and tax the upper segment of the country. Salaries cut especially among the junior segment will only restrict the purchasing power of an individual and naturally derail the spending power. During times like this it...

Steps to take in creating a powerful and rewarding 2012: Write yourself a letter describing your dreams and desires for 2012. Include all the aspects of your life—your business, vacations and new opportunities you would like to explore. Keep adding to the list for a few days. Our thoughts will keep multiplying when we give ourselves the freedom to be honest and not pass any judgment on our vision. When you feel your list is complete, create different categories for your ideas (business, vacations, social events, family and friends). Plug the ideas into the different categories. You will be amazed what thoughts surface. Congratulations, you now have your dream list.  Choose both a big and a small dream you would like to accomplish. Plan the two steps you will take this week for each dream. Remember, as my mother always said, “Rome was not built in a day.” Taking time during this quiet time to plan for a powerful and rewarding 2012 is a beautiful gift you are giving yourself.  ENJOY...

here are the four shers (poems) from  Zindai Na Milegi Dobara ! 1 - Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi Kuch lafz hain woh maangti Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh …Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai Ahsas hi ahsas hai Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai Jiska pata tumko bhi hai Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai Duniya se bhi chupta nahin Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai There is a matter that has almost come to my lips This is evident in my eyes Sometimes from you, sometimes from me They ask for words To take their shape and come to my lips And to be embraced by my voice But this matter Is a feeling…only a feeling Floating in air like fragrance Fragrance becomes its voice That you know of That i know of It’s not hidden from the world Don’t know what kind of secret is this   2 - Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya Jab ghum ka saya lehraya Jab aansoo palkon tak aya Jab yeh...
