Being a Pirate - TEDx Delhi

Notas do Editor

  1. Why did you become an entrepreneur?I’ve always been one. My fascination with computers and internet began on a Pentium III & 56 kbps modem. The internet opened me a whole new world, i was hooked.I’ve always enjoyed wide-open pursuits where I can create and be unconstrained.
  2. From the confidence of my first venture i moved to bigger and bigger ideas, realized that chasing bigger dreams give you more bigger space to think. I Never felt bad in failing , and never stopped experimenting stuff either.
  3. THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL WALKING THROUGH OUR COLLEGE CAMPUS AND I ASKED MY FRIEND, ‘DUDE; HOW TO IMPRESS HER? AND MY FRIEND SAID, WELL I DON’T KNOW, YOU DO A GOOGLE. I SAID, I DON’T HAVE A GOOGLE NOW, SO WHAT I WILL DO? AND HERE THE EUREKA MOMENT CAME IN. ‘WELL GUYS, HOW ABOUT AN ANSWER ENGINE ON MOBILE THAT WILL GIVE YOU ANSWER ABOUT ANY TOPIC UNDER THE SUN.’ !
  4. Our approach to this has been straightforward – we have to continue with our business as usual, and work as if we’re going to solve this problem.
  5. In 2008,while doing computer science engineering, me and my group of friends popped up with this idea of giving instant information through SMS by fetching it from online. We dropped out of college the next day to start the company to fully focus this idea.
  6. This is what we run at the office. Real-time - This is what 10 seconds of activity will looks like. And this is where we spend most of our time doing to make sure that we can keep up with this kind of traffic load.
  7. This is what we run at the office. Real-time - This is what 10 seconds of activity will looks like. And this is where we spend most of our time doing to make sure that we can keep up with this kind of traffic load.
  8. This is what we run at the office. Real-time - This is what 10 seconds of activity will looks like. And this is where we spend most of our time doing to make sure that we can keep up with this kind of traffic load.
  9. "Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do… The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Smart people can do just about anything that doesn't violate too many of Newton's Laws!"
  10. Most of India won’t have access to the internet. How do we get them that access ?The Mobile Phone will make that happen.
