Here's a long post on why this young engineer's startup failed :-

On Startup Failure : Why my software startup failed and How I went bankrupt? |Technology and Business Startups in India

Its worth a read, I guess.

Hmmm... no negativity here. I'm sure Ash will succeed in his venture. Hey by the way what's the latest update? Do you have a concrete plan? I will be your local partner in India... what say

Ah, don't get me wrong, please! That link is not at all related to discourage anyone.

Its just there so that wannabe entrepreneurs learn from that article and do the right thing at the right time !

Nah, it was an inspiring read. Thanks biggie!

Here's the thing that seems quite useful:

I can also do attitude - Gates did it ,Ambani did it,Steve did it , Larry and Sergey did it, Dell did it, Ellision and so on did it so I can also do it.It is good to get inspired from great people live’s but what we are missing here is that whether you are doing it with a passion or a desire?.If you have a passion then you will build something first then start a company. I had only a desire to be entrepreneur lacking a real passion to drive me ahead ,I didn’t quit my job because may be I am scared or afraid of failure ,see I didn’t made myself clear before starting a company.

This attitude screwed my ass and made me bankrupt. Before you plan a startup company ask yourself a thousand more times whether you are really prepared or not?.Even if you have a .001 percent doubt somewhere in your heart , don’t start a company unless you are crystal clear about your decision.

Its the passion and attitude, folks

@ mayur
No updates as of yet.. still lots of researching Highly technical and theoretical stuff.. a little boring I suppose, haha. We both are in the midst of other assignments and projects.. so process is painfully slow. But we've got lots of time left

No I'm not saying you were negative. Just that such articles can inspire you both ways. Of course doing some thing on your own is a risk, but what is not risky these days? They have found 18 live bombs inside a city in 24hrs here. Is going out of your house not risky these days?

Its just the matter of right attitude and taking decisions at the right time. If you have taken right decisions and persist long enough, you shall not fail.

Quoting Ralph Wado Emerson here... "That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved."
