@Mukund thanks for the comment. We actually put it to test in the Bangalore Startups facebook group. So far, our experience has been good, and we have found people going out of their way to help other entrepreneurs. I guess it depends on the culture you build in the group.

We did have a couple of instances, but it was controlled quite easily at the end. Either ways, entrepreneurs is a small community, where most people know each other.

Hey dude, thanks for the note and for the mention. In India what I have heard many people say (like mentors, TIE, OCC, etc)is many people dont take “free” seriously or abuse the system. In the absence of filtering the right ones from the wrong, the money filter is the easiest for them.

I agree. And it’s sad that lot of people making money from people who have quit well paying jobs and are struggling to make some thing big and create jobs. And there are also too many people who are so called ‘mentors’ popping out from everywhere in most meet ups.

Comment on The way ahead for Apple by satyaprakashpatiatya

I donot agree to this….
Apple is targeted for classes and it has its own set of fan followers.
if Apple lowers its prices, then it will be perceived that “Apple is losing its marbles and its lowering its quality”. Read the experiment by Washington post and Joshua Bell.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Bell#Washington_Post_experiment”

Further, Steve Jobs had confidence in Apple’s designs and innovations which were pathbreaking, and it was a matter of class for people owning apple’s product.

Opening Apple for experiments, would dilute its rich structure and would be like a small leakage in a watertight dam, which would open up more and more..

I feel Apple should carry on its business strategy, just like the way steve had planned it to…….

It needs to come to India. Then a simple debit card will be good.

I do agree with you and this is what I was also thinking for a while. But I haven’t started off as yet, so taking my time to think through.

It would be interesting to see what you post as problems, looking forward to read about it.
