Interesting and very honest analysis. Agree with all of it apart from the bit about raising money – there has to be something left for the original founders or else what’s the point of all the hard work. Anyway, good luck with the future guys. I think you’ll do alright.

The Indian market has place for many more startups provided we concentrate on the technology and the business model concurrently.

Also, as far as Deepak knows what went wrong it is cool…he will know what not to do in his next endeavour.

Thanks.

Thank you for sharing,Very helpful.

There will not be any clear winner in this space as Microsoft,Google interests lies only in marketing their own products in the end.

Every product companies should start such services with their own tools for marketing their products rather than a eBay like effect.
