So without further dawdling, the winning entries are of Alok's and that of Himanshu. The winner of lucky draw(Contest#2) is Nigam's Entry#1. Winning Entries For Contest#1: Entry#8 by Alok: Score = 4/5 Judges say: "Excellent generalization, Well organized into various sections and I liked the explanations. Some better formatting of the content would have made it even better to read." Innovative thought / analogy and the points are for the innovation. But the way the post got structured - this looks like a missed opportunity to write up something really interesting. Excellent breakdown of what is an interesting way to think about recruiting - but the big assumption here is that the under performer actually cares that others know she or he under performing."

Podcasting with pizzazz
2007-02-11 03:41:00 Ever found yourself stuck listening/watching to the routine scripted stuff on Radio/TV? Ever wondered why a very personal event like Ash-b wedlock is the only relevant news on most of the Indian new channels for two consecutive days? Ever wished there was an option? Aditya Mhatre and Abhishek founded Indicast back in 2005 to provide an alternate source of entertainment for these very reasons and are currently based out of Mumbai. Indicast has been podcasting for over a year now and has been very well received so far as per its founder duo. They are so impressed with the response that they have decided to make a living out of it.

Dating/Matchmaking site for startups
2007-01-31 23:48:00 Andrew Ive, a startup veteran came across the idea for his next startup while serving as a member on the board of entrepreneurs at Small Business Council, established by the Government of UK. As a board member he was responsible to advise and input into policy and thinking as it related to Small Businesses. While at it, listening to the summary of some research on small businesses, a point was made that there is plenty of funding available but unfortunately most of the startups and small businesses were not 'investment ready'. That got the cogs in his brain working and he was trying to understand why were small businesses or startups not investment ready? And how could they be made ready? The outcome of that thought process is AdvisorGarage, which bills itself as a dating site for business owners and investors as well as advisers. 1. What's the story behind Advisor Garage? How did it come to be? Advisor Garage came about through one of those typical ?Aha' moments that m... More About: Entrepreneurship , Dating , Site , Startups , Dati
