Problems faced by Us as a Common Man, with his Business Idea

I and my friend Parth Pancholi have recently been brainstorming on recent ventures that got funded. Though, are they making the optimum use of resources at the right price? We doubt. 

We have been brainstorming for over a year now and have came up with hundreds of Business ideas, converted few fifties to business plans, then stuck while looking for investors. As a common man with no money in the bank, this question haunts me, am I not eligible to think? Am I not eligible to run a business, just because I do not have funds in my account? 

Does being poor make you dumb, like me, there might be similar people around overloaded with business ideas, though very few of them reach the right investors. Incubation centers ask for a business plan, I mean, if we could make our own business plans, why would we ever incubate at the first! Investment bankers and angel investors are the toughest to approach atleast in India. People are more interested in stealing someones idea, implementing it and then letting the idea founder die out of regret. Many times it has happened to us that we see our ideas coming to reality by someone else just due to lack of investment. Currently am heart broken, people appreciate my ideas but no body risks to invest telling me, you are young! If I was young enough, I would not be so smart to write my own business plan.

Why do you have to be an IITan, a PHD, a rich person to start your business? Even when you are ready to put in all your efforts, work 12 hours a day and let the investor sit and relax? Why in India it is so hard to look for investment, without being incubated. Why are incubation centers screening business ideas based on what they feel? Is it not the Investors job?

Why in India, thinking is being an idiot, and ignoring is acting smart?

Pissed,

Efforts are required to achieve anything in life. People think destination is hard to reach, though its harder to attempt to reach compared to the destination. Journey is always beautiful, if your efforts are selfless.

How many of you felt the need for a 3d printer? Well 3d printing has been in the industry since long, though it was just for the industries. Now as technology advances, 3D printers are made available to the consumer at cheapest possible rates! When I looked at this printer called TIKO, I was mesmerized by the Unibody design that they carry. How smartly they managed to move the three Axis movement to a 3 dimensional and they actually 3D printed this printer! Being so flexible and lightweight with a flexible bottom, you can carry the printer easily and it has wireless connectivity. Future is here. Future is Present!

reveal.js - The HTML Presentation framework

reveal.js is a framework for easily creating stunning presentations using HTML and CSS. It comes number of features including nested slides, markdown contents, PDF export, speaker notes and a JavaScript API.

It’s best viewed in a browser with CSS 3D transform support but fallbacks are available to make sure your presentation does not loose its charm elsewhere. If you’re interested in using speaker notes, reveal.js comes with a Node.js server that allows you to share your presentation in one browser while viewing speaker notes in another.

Gone are the times when sharing a presentation was dependent on software and uploads. Create a reveal.js presentation, share the link with clients, friends, family, colleagues, and others. Easy to create, easy to upload, easy to customize.
