The inaugural session is over.

Warren Buffet was quoted by Mr. Shashikant Chaudhari (Global Logic), "When people become greedy, be fearful and when people become fearful, be greedy." 😁

Right now on stage is Dr. Ashwin Naik talking about 'organized scaling up' using his examples from healthcare industry -> specifically Vaatsalya Hospital Group.
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

Alright, Mr. Naik has used prezi for this presentation. 👍
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

He says he and his friend wanted to start a company, because no one was ready to employ them. 😁

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

Good to hear to this happy-go-lucky gentleman. Even though his area of business is not relevant to most people present here, he has kept everyone glued.

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

5 children and 4 autorickshaw stands have been named 'Vaatsalya' after being treated at one of their hospitals.

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

Good point -> Leader should be able to stand alone and look ridiculous. 😁

Video is being played.

When you find a lone person doing great work, be the first person to stand up and join him.

After a really big round of applause, its time for questions from audience.
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

Mr. Naik raised a point about how they employ the doctor parents of children who opt out of medicine industry.

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

And the next in line is Mr. Ravi Pandit, CEO KPIT Cummins <climbing up the stage right now>
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

This is going to be more of an interactive session. We have Mr. Shashikant Chaudhary and Mr. Pandit sitting on couches and he says he is open to questions.

So, CEans if you have any, share them with us RIGHT NOW.
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

I feel Mr. Pandit looks a lot like Mr. Bill Gates from his younger days.

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

We will try to come back as soon as possible.

She is focusing on technical aspects like - When am I ready to incorporate? When to get external funding?
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

Oh! And I didn't mention that she is by profession a Legal Counselor and Corporate Secretary; and is co-founder of Novojuris Services India Pvt. Ltd.

The intricacies of Incorporation's being discussed!
Ankita Katdare

@abrakadabra • Feb 25, 2012

In India it takes 10 days while in Estonia it takes just 15 minutes for incorporating a company.
In US, less than a day.
Ambarish Ganesh

@ambarish-PQyoXg • Feb 25, 2012

Statistics on Incorporation on the chart right now!
In US, it takes less than a day! Whereas in India, it takes about 10 days! ☕

Sources of funding for startups -

FFF - Friends, Family and Fools. 😉

All the talks today so far have been engaging! Some really great quotes that need to be shared-

1)In India, even while crossing the street you need to be innovative! The audience-->😁

2)Start-ups are like marriages. Earlier, everything seems to go well, but after the honeymoon period is over, you need to be cautious and try to maintain the same chemistry, or better chemistry. So, always be the cautious husband in the marriage, where the wife's behavior is just not predictable, and try to maintain a healthy relationship! Again, the audience--> 😁 <slow claps> 👍

Engineers are lucky that they have CAs to look after their funds and the difficult terms like 'dilution, liquidation preference, ESOP Pool etc.'

Guys, we couldn't cover the entire event because we had no internet connectivity. 😔

PS: This is my 5000th post on the forum.

Well, AKD, Patty and Biggie were awesome at the event. They networked very well.
I was bored. But the talks were very interesting.

Anyways, got to talk with people I really wanted to talk with (this was done behind the scenes, no body knows about it. Not even the CE team 😉)
They said that my idea has feasibility. But needs more refinement and a lot lot more hard work.

Finally sorry for not being able to cover the event. #Disheartening.
