Yes, Since you say it's a business model it will benefit for sure, provided all critical importance and security measures are covered in the business model. It will work wonders if it's designed with ethical business model in mind. It's the best...

I tend to agree that it wont last for long. Social networking sites require a certain type of person to use them for maximum potential - a person who is practically transparent on all issues. Most of us take a while to get to that condition. It is...

Well, I must say people onFacebook loose interest in things very fast and thus this makes it difficult for such start ups to survive only based on Facebook.

Budding business owners should go virtual wherever and whenever possible. In a fledgling startup, the last thing you need to worry about is excessive infrastructure or expensive overhead. It’s already a difficult enough task to generate income and garner clients. Why spend that precious revenue on something as useless as an office space? Your ego might try to get the best of you, telling you that your business needs that fancy schmancy corner office with a city view. But unless your ego has a few hundred thousand dollars to cough up for rent and amenities, kindly tell it to shut up. Plain and simple: The vast majority of startups — and more established businesses for that matter — don’t nee...

I donot know quite sure which side to support. I have seen many promising supports for a starter. But business is always told to be a tug of war between you and your competitor. How can a beginner finds his place

everything has its own limit..if one crosses that limit then its bad..as we recently saw where people used facebook platform to plot a murder of a teenager in UK..so taking things too far will result in situations like this.

If you dont get your business going what use of even finding a customer ? You need to have the funding in place first to get your business started, to put the infrastructure in place, to assemble a good team and so on, only then can you address...

Any big idea would be successful only when the idea has a perfect target segment and potential customer base, without which roping in VC investment would not only kill the idea, but also push you to the wall permanently.
Veena Gupta  |  Argues in support of  "Customer"  |  1 year ago

While it is still a long road ahead for India to reach the size and vibrancy of Silicon Valley's angel ecosystem, the desi angel community may be slowly coming of age. With nearly 250 angels registered with India’s two dominant formal networks, Indian Angel Network and Mumbai Angels, compared to rather humble beginnings four years ago, there is growing interest in angel investing. Besides the organised angel networks, there are hundreds of successful executives and entrepreneurs who have taken to angel investing. VCCircle spots key trends that are evolving in the dynamic Indian angel investing space: Growth of Formal Angel Networks: “The interest in angel investments is increasing and as an...
