Generally speaking....

Once in a while I get reminded of the promise I made to myself that I frequently write in my blog about all things in general and about my start-up life in specific. And then I find some excuse and life goes back to the regular grind. Today actually I am going to write. So first of all, to answer the general ice breaker question....What's up.... I just ask that question to myself. And I think I can answer it either way. Things are awesome and also awful.

I pretty much relocated to Mumbai now and my team is in Chennai. We communicate over the wire a lot. However, it would have been ideal if I am actually co-located with the team. But an all important customer insists that I be present in Mumbai. Will have to wait for some time to see whether its a wise move. In the eternal dilemma of whether to focus on product or service, I chose to focus fully on services now. All the product related works are put aside. I know... I know...Services is a bitch. But after reviewing our situation again and again, it's pretty much clear to me that I have to take-up the services work. For now we are fully loaded and few other projects are in the pipeline. But as expected, the work is going to be extremely demanding on me and on the team. I am hoping to manage to allocate some attention to our forgotten products too.

We have delivered two projects last month. I think we put in our best, and the customer is satisfied to an extend. Of course a long way to go to make them say wow. We have started couple of new projects and this is going to engage us for quite some time in coming months. We have increased the size of our team now and we are looking for Java, Flex, PHP & Mobile Application developers with couple of years or so of experience. If you know any one who is looking for a job and have experience in any of these technologies, let me know. And by the way, we have almost moved to a new office.

Personal life is in a mess and I think I have managed to upset all my family members and especially my wife. Balancing a newly started company and newly started family is no joke. Believe me. Add to that the financial stress.

That's it for now.
