One Question That Can Transform Your Business – Jayson DeMers

Entrepreneurship is all about finding answers. Your entire business is an answer to a common consumer problem, or need. Your business plan is a general answer to the most common questions investors and lenders ask regarding your viability and potential for growth. And when you look for new clients, you’ll be answering a barrage of their questions about what your business can do for them. But to grow your business to anything beyond a simple startup, you'll need to be the one asking the questions -- hard, critical questions. You'll need to force yourself to evaluate your operations objectively, thoroughly and maybe even harshly to find new answers that help drive the business forward. (more…)

Why Steve Jobs is Unique and Why His Personal Life is Irrelevant – Geoffrey James

The U.S. celebrity machine thrives on a set-em-up-and-knock-em-down cycle so it's not surprising that the latest film about Steve Jobs is highly negative. However, perseverating on Jobs's problematic personal relationships is completely missing the point. CEO's that treat people like crap are dime-a-dozen. There was nothing unique about Jobs's management style. What was unique about Steve Jobs was that he pushed technology towards simplicity rather than complexity. The overwhelming obsession of the high tech industry is to push towards greater complexity by adding as many customer-requested features as possible while still maintaining backward compatibility. The entire high tech industry--from engineers to marketers to management-values complexity and therefore tends to create products ...

Grow Your Business With The Art of Story-telling – Steve Lazuka

In recent years, content storytelling has provided special value beyond traditional marketing techniques as it allows small business owners to humanize their brand, brings their products and services to life and ultimately increases sales. Every day, users are bombarded with content, consisting, on average, of more than 100,000 words in total, says Digital Marketing Philippines. If you want to stick in your readers’ minds, your content needs to stand out — and one of the best ways to do this is to tell a story. (more…)

The inside story of our App Launch (we lost it) – Kumar Kislay

If it weren’t for the last minute, nothing would get done. – Rita Mae Brown App Launch Day It’s 10 o’clock in the morning of 13th august, 2015. The weather is surprisingly cool for Delhi.

Startup India, Standup India- What India can learn from Israel

If Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day dream of India succeeding as 'startup' country has to kick start, there is a lot to learn from the original 'startup nation' Israel. The tiny country of Israel mushrooms almost two new startup companies every day and today houses some 5000 startups. New Delhi of course is just starting up! On being asked if Modi's call for a 'startup India' can succeed, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "As far as the 'startup nation' I think this has a lot to do with entrepreneurial spirit. I have noticed that in Silicon Valley (USA), you hear Indian dialects and you hear Hebrew, sometimes you hear some English, which means there is a lot (happening). There is a lot of spirit for enterprise in both our countries." He also added that he e...

Tech Companies work culture destroying employees lives – Moskovitz, Facebook Co-founder

Last week, I spoke to an ambitious group of high school students at SPARC in Berkeley. Several of them asked me about things I wish I had done or learned earlier in life, or regrets I had from earlier in my career. Again and again, I came back to the idea that I wish I had lived my life differently. 2006 was one of the best years for Facebook, and one of the worst years for me as a human. I wish I had slept more hours, and exercised regularly. I wish I had made better decisions about what to eat or drink — at times I consumed more soda and energy drinks than water. I wish I had made more time for other experiences that helped me grow incredibly quickly once I gave them a chance. You might think: but if you had prioritized those things, wouldn’t your contributions have been...

This Ingenious Janicki Omni Processor(JOP) Turns Feces Into Drinking Water – Bill Gates

By Bill Gates | August 11, 2015 Earlier this year, I shared a video where I drank water made from feces. (My review: It was delicious.) Today the machine that produced the water, the Janicki Omni Processor—or JOP—is in Dakar, Senegal, as part of a pilot project that could ultimately save lives and reduce disease in poor countries. Here’s an update on where things stand: You may recall that the JOP takes human waste and turns it into drinking water, electricity, and ash. (It is actually one of several Omni Processors being developed that treat human waste and produce something of value.) It’s tempting to focus on the drinking water, for obvious reasons. But the goal is not to provide water. The goal is to dramatically improve sanitation for all the cities in poor countries. Tod...

Why Indigo Airlines followed Anti Social Media Strategy – Prateek shah

It came as a shocker to me, but almost instantly made so much sense! The thought struck me when I was preparing for a Social Media CRM and ORM workshop for one of our clients, and it looked like a masterstroke from the brand. Lets go back a little bit in history. If you are a social media enthusiast, then you would have surely heard about United Airlines' infamously famous Dave Carroll music video. Rough estimates suggest that the airline's stock price dropped 10% after the video went viral, and it must have taken long for the company to do complete damage. While things went a little too far in this case, brands world over are realising one important truth. Customers are fast taking to social media as the primary medium to vent their frustration, and a lot of them are likely to do th...
