Well as the heading suggests, I am running a fledgling business or rather I am trying to run a fledgling business. I don't quite remember when I got the idea of becoming an entrepreneur; probably the seeds were sown since my childhood or may be from my IIT days or probably after my 3 failed attempts at CAT.
Anyway, the fact is, it all started in January 2006 (convincing myself, doing market research, learning technologies and talking to people), we launched the first version of hungrybangalore in July 2006 and after 2 years of slogging, panting and then slogging again we are still up and running. Does this mean we are doing well? Well, not really if revenue is what defines success... but all of us do enjoy working for hungryzone (that’s what it is called now).
From being a part time affair to a full time one, things have changed a lot like my friends now think of me differently, I have enriched my technical mind with some practical stuff, I feel more confident now of myself etc etc but few things have not changed much, my parents still regret my not going to US and my brother still regrets my not getting through CAT. I don't usually care what others say about me (unless it is good :) ) but as far as I am concerned I feel satisfied that I took this path, even if the venture fails, I am sure this experience will do wonders to wisdom :). I am definitely financially much poorer than my batch mates but as far as satisfaction is concerned I do score a century :)
