Did you guys try the traditional VC route. It might be a easier given that you are getting good traction. I can see the hockey stick growth in one of your earlier posts.

Hi Rohit

I am glad my blog could fire your imagination :)

There is a good market for consultants in India currently. There are a few companies that outsource projects to you. You just need to know the right people (which you would, once you are here)

I feel that there is a certainly a great market for Ruby on Rails (probably because its not as crowded as Java/PHP). However I am sure that if you are good at a technology, you will find work in it. Typically outsourced work pays more than local work but it sometimes varies

Hi Prateek,

I just discovered your blog today, and it has fired my imagination. I have been wanting to become an entrepreneur myself, but my only source of income was a corporate coding job, and that left me with no time or energy for starting my own business.

This consulting idea intrigues me. I thought consulting was a viable career option only in the U.S. etc., and that in India there was not much work for freelance consultants. In your experience, is it otherwise? What kind of clients can one expect to work for – other startups, or mom-and-pop businesses?

Thanks for any guidance you can offer, and thanks for the great posts on your blog.

Rohit
