Bootstrapping your start-up : an entrepreneurial perspective
This week's Movie Mixer on Friday 20th April, will feature a delightful talk by Anand Chhatpar on Bootstrapping your business and innovative strategies to forward your business with speed.
Read more about Anand at http://anand.itvidya.com. Anand in 2005 was named in the Top 25 Entrepreneurs in USA under the age of 25 by Business Week.
In his talk, Anand Chhatpar encourages entrepreneurs and those aspiring to take more risks. The old paradigm of 'ready, aim, fire' is slow and expensive for start-ups; they will do much better with the 'ready, fire, aim, fire, aim, fire' methodology.
While flipping The Times of India today on Sunday morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see the photo of Anand Chhatpar and a detailed feature about his company Brainreactions. ( Sunday Times, 28th Jan 2007, Page 10 Pune Edition).
I have known Anand for over a year now and have had highly engaging discussions in person, on phone and emails with him on various topics like web2.0, startups, entrepreneurship, innovation, silicon valley culture, ruby on rails etc.
