This is as long as Yahoo CEO's last. If this is all what she has to show for it, I'm guessing the search for the next has already begun. Riding the Google roller coaster can alter the hard realities for anyone. The heat is only felt where t

Numerous forms of violence against women in India are not as 'rampant' as you think they are. There is little causal relationship between sexual assault in India and the integrated family system. The US on the contrary has the one of the h

I have been in a similar situation and also read a bit of psychology and the inescapable conclusion that I have come to is that this is exactly why you need a cofounder. Humans crave regular 'peer' level feedback and gratification - this is

You are right. Bad example. I was just trying to do something with pipes to illustrate the point.

I think this might be more useful the other way around. Put ddg inside a linux shell and let me interoperate with linux commands. eg. ddg reviews samsung note | grep "note 2"

1. If we are talking about really big companies there are a handful of examples anyhow. I am not sure if an empirical comparison is even possible. 2. I think there is a survivor bias here. Most of the biggest companies reach scale very quic

1. Believe that you DON'T need the funding to build a big business. The belief will help you ACT like you don't. 2. The wrong way to look at these meetings is as an opportunity for you to pitch for money to a VC. 3. The right way to look at

Just had my very own aha! moment while searching for my name with DDG. Excellent investment.

Extremely impressive stuff. Just yesterday I have been thinking of how federation and mobile will be the cornerstones for the next leap in search and doat.com nails both perfectly. Has my vote for the google-killer-of-the-year.

Firstly understand that the most precious thing that you are losing here is time - or rather time not spent on building a break-out business. Every day that you spent on the dead end business is time not spent on building a break-out busine

There is really no way to know. Your product might be just one iteration away from making it big. There are products which take time to hit the up-curve on the hockey stick - case in point gmail. This is the hardest part about entrepreneurs

Classic Indian VC Behaviour: "If you get a call from a VC analyst, saying "we just learned about you through...and think you fit well with our firm...would like to schedule an investor presentation..." This will go nowhere. The analyst is b

Very cool stuff ! I think something like this, but bigger and wall mountable would be very neat. The obvious use case for startups is to use it as a dashboard with your most important metric for display - for example your google analytics t

You have your whole life for startups. Indulgence in love is mostly limited to your 20s. I would suggest enjoy the chemistry till it lasts - startups can wait. The chemistry will bring you more happiness then any amount of big company build

Amazing writeup. Thanks.

This is a really insightful writeup. Thanks. I just wanted to mention that a lot of things that you did bad, look so only in hindsight. Not that they are not bad, in the sense that you could have done better, but the very same things that n

Thanks for your kind comments. Im not sure if I would be able to post about negotiations any time soon. Drop me a line when you enter negotiations and if you want an outside perspective. I will be happy to help. You can reach me through the

This is an amazing post. I cant agree more.

Agree totally. I realized early on that some of us are just born to build. Everything else, including making money is just secondary. For some of us the biggest part of our happiness is dependent on the meaning that we seek through our work
