Looks like I didn’t miss anything given the fact that there weren’t many startup demos/stalls. How were the talks? Again safe to skip ?

Hi Prateek, Few months back i had visited your blog. Except few muziboo related posts i didnt find much articles. But, now it looks pretty different from the earlier version with well written posts. Good work. keep it up.

And about StartUp city, except few cool products it wasn’t much attractive (for me). I was there only for an hour. I too didn’t get a chance to attend any sessions.

Agree with you completely Prateek… on how it felt in there. There were 2 distributor/resellers there, who didn’t quite appear to be startups, also startup-definition seemed to include some folks who had more then 500 employees spread accross 3 continents, offices in 10 countries, and were “just-starting-office-in-India”,… then there were the sponsors.

Also, for several stalls, my expression of interest in their product / service got them confused about whether I was looking for a job with them, and they seemed to be bit more keen on the 2nd front, in explaining work culture ;-) .

Overall it was not so bad an experience… just a different kind. Met lot of known folks, saw lot of known faces, and met few new ones. I landed using this event as more of a networking opportunity than anything else, which actually served the purpose pretty well.

PS> Cool photographs, what kind is your (photography) equipment?

cheers,
Bani

“I guess it wasn’t boostrapper’s event (except for the OCC booth).”

Prateek, there was also a Kickstart.in (http://kickstart.in) booth.

The session by Jinesh Varia, who is Evangelist of Amazon Web Services was more from marketing angle.

I then went to ACM talk by the same guy at Rotary Club, Lavelle Road in afternoon and it was more of tech talk on AWS.
