		<description>Hi,

      You recently came to IIT-Delhi to give a talk about this issue, calling web developers who have a thing for web-entrepreneurship. If you remember, i spoke to you briefly after the presentation, saying that this kind of initiative is exactly what i was looking for, and would love to join you, if you find my credentials worthy.

      I sent you a mail in this regard at your &#039;stanfordalumni&#039; id a few days back. Please go through it when you have the time.

Thanks,
Rachit</description>

		<description>hey Ashok

I see where you are going with an ODC but there are several existing incubators out there albeit not non-profit. I am personally not interested in doing an ODC since from my experiences having totally outsourced product development rarely works especially if you are building a web or mobile that is technology product or service.

If you are building a tech product I think technology is not really a commodity! Its as important as the idea or strategy how you build, on what platform you build it and so on...

Coming back to what I am trying to build is something between an Ideo and an IdeaLabs. At Ideo new products or enhancements are quickly prototyped and handed back to the client as happens in most consulting assignments. At IdeaLabs, new ideas are seeded and entirely new companies are spun off for each idea.

With ZaakCo, we want to do something more than IDEO by launching Beta products and improving them to prove their value. Yet, we want to do something short of IdeaLabs by not going the full stretch of taking each company to a IPO or profitable business. We want to sell our validated product or POC to a larger player whose portfolio it would fit in to beautifully. By exiting early, we the core team would get working on the next product idea and so on. This is how we currently envision positioning the company as a New Product Development company.</description>
