Can the Software Sector be Resilient to Recession?
I was very lucky in the early 90??s being in an industry that was not only shielded from recession, in fact it was thriving. Corporate America was taught to fight their way out of the slump by Business Process Reengineering, and what better way to execute it than by implementing new integrated business information systems.

Zoho Show 2.0 is not ready for the real world
Over the next few days, Zoho will update its presentation app, Zoho Show, for all users. We??ve been covering the app since June of 2006, when we called it ???extremely basic.???

How not to market your product - few lessons for Indian Entrepreneurs
Few days back, Prashant wrote a great post on Guerrilla Marketing Tips for Indian Startups, where he covered the unconventional ways startups can reach out to potential users without burning major cah.

Not few are the perils of being a Grandpa!
Last month, all my family members assembled at my native village, including four of my grand-kids for the engagement ceremony betrothal of my brother’s daughter. For a change, it was arranged at my ancestral village house, as we were all tired of the stereo-type, business-like, adventureless and showy functions in city halls, which are performed by professional contractors on payment of ridiculous sums of money without the physical involvement of any of us. They lack the personal touch of the
