Struggle of a Chicken Entrepreneur. (Updated on Jan 14, 14)

Dear Rodins, 

I like to call myself a Chicken Entrepreneur. This is because I feel that the difference lies in ‘staying there’ with your startup in most crunch situations and not chicken out. 

Our Startup just completed four years. Feels Great, was naive (still am) and had practically zero money with me when I came to Bombay 4 years ago. Some really good People supported us by giving their offices, funds, free services, mentorship and lotsa warmth to start InOpen.

I owe a lot to them. However, We had plenty of passion and belief for Ourselves. That did the trick. This has been most important learning of my life till today; Businesses can be built on faith on Belief. Other stuffs follow. In this pic, I am at first client’s place. 

I got started in my college I didn’t knew that a word called ‘startup’ existed (honestly) and till date I get spelling of ‘entrepreneurship’ wrong. Thanks to Auto correct. No we are on way to become a multi geography Company. 

I have tried to share some thoughts over a presentation which will help the so called chicken Entrepreneurs (like me) to sustain their startup. Please share yours

Here it is

Stay Calm, Move On.
