		<description><![CDATA[I have this mostly untested BHAG - big, hairy, audacious goal in business lingo. The BHAG is to ideate, build and launch beta products in order to early exit (by sale or spin off).Key assumptions I am making are:

   1. In today's day and age, building simple "need fulfilling" products and getting a read on their performance in the market within 6-9 months is not impossible.
   2. Further, with the right team, this can be done for multiple product ideas one after the other.
   3. If you are detail oriented and a fast learner, you do not need 10 years experience in a particular domain before building a product for it.

From an initial pool of a dozen ideas, I have chosen 3 concepts to start with based on their business case. These products concepts are in the ecommerce, online payments and mobile VAS spaces; 1 is for the Indian market and 2 for global customers [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew starting a new company would be a lot of work but I had never imagined it would take me 3 weeks to come up with a logo that I somewhat like.

Part of the indecision (which does not come naturally to me) existed because my vision for Zaak and what we would focus on evolved during the first 1 month. This meant that the first few short discussions with the graphic designer were not very relevant when we were really down to business.

I wanted something simple to use, different and abstract yet symbolic! I wanted to convey to our clients that we are good at the fuzzy beginnings of new idea..............]]></description>
