The Art of the Start!

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” — Albert Einstein

After completed my engineering I landed up with a job in Aakar Knowledge Solutions - a startup by three IITians - my dream job and bosses who were friends and never bosses. I wished to work with them forever.... its dangerous when you are in love with your job. It still feels like a dream - I quit my job on march 15th 2008, to start up a firm with my college mates Vishal and Sonia. we named the firm - The Magic Tree [ www.themagictree.in ] after nearly three days of name hunting.

So here we are; two weeks [day 12 counting Sundays] into entrepreneurship - the world of uncertainties. We are still unclear about the perfect product. However we a re sure about one thing, we are gonna do our part towards improving education. Entertainment will be the next stop - the three of us being passionate about it.

When you are on your own, accomplishing small things too feels great. During the first two weeks we are ready with a product, marketing plan, brochures, flyers, b-cards, website - everything done by the three of us - zero outsourcing. The only cost incurred has been for 3 lappys and a net connection.
