Hello Rodinhooders,
It has been a while since I posted something in the community, may be still high with the Openhouse that was a super sucess at Bangalore just a month back 🙂
Having been involved in helping and contributing my time/energy/effort to build the Indian Start-up eco-system by virtue of leading Headstart Bangalore and its flagship event Startup Saturday and also through my involvement in every other platform, I have been observing the pain points entrepreneurs go through while trying to reach the customers.

In this regard, I am currently working on a project that entails having a show run exactly in manner as it does right now on FM Channels with songs being played on demand,having advertisements that don’t seem to make any sense to me and all they do.
Through my project I do not intend to change or introduce a new format of show to the FM Channels, the only thing I wish to do is instead of having random people as guest, I propose having entrepreneurs who have built extremely customer centric products talk about their product in a candid manner, in a manner that people who listen to the FM Channel get inspired to use the product on a day to day basis.
Having been in the eco-system for over 2 years now, I have seen so many entrepreneurs who have built some amazing applications/products that if people start using in their daily life is sure to make their lives easy. But, because these entrepreneurs are bootstrapped( most of the time) it takes so much time to reach out to people, that seldom we find ourselves using interesting and highly useful products designed by entrepreneurs.
Unfortunately, of all the networks I have been able to make in the past couple of years, there isn’t a single one that is connected to FM Channels, and I need to get this rolling quickly for the greater good of entrepreneurs and the eco-system alike. If you are connected or know someone who might be able to help, please do connect me across, I will be glad beyond imagination 🙂
PS:- To know more on how this would work( or still better if you want to come along and be a part) please feel free to write to me at:- Prashant.Sharma@headstart.in
