Here are some of the blogs that report or reflect on the Indian entrepreneurship phenomenon. I tend to keep an eye on these (and others), along with numerous offline conversations, to stay on top of the trends developing in the business.
- Venture Woods: India’s leading VC and Entrepreneurship blog with a vast host of experienced contributors providing news, analysis and insights into the Indian VC market.
- Pluggd.in: Ashish Sinha profiles and reviews Indian digital/mobile products and upcoming startups. Comprehensive coverage with startup interviews, lists, reviews, and forums
- Trak.in: A ‘buzz’ blog on Indian business and the startup world. Regularly updated with new business trends, start-ups and buzzing sectors.
- Web Yantra: Amit Ranjan provides well-researched in-depth analysis of Indian startups, web products & services.
- VC Circle: P.V. Sahad tracks India’s deal economy providing relevant information and analysis in a short and crisp manner.
- Kamla Bhatt Blog: Kamla Bhatt brings interviews and comments, some original and some scouted from elsewhere. The Vinod Khosla interview is lovely.
- Venture Intelligence: Arun Natarajan’s perspectives on entrepreneurship, private equity and venture capital in India.
- Startup Dunia: Pranav Dharma tracks the developments in the Indian VC market and reviews startups. Of late, not as regular updates.
I would be interested in hearing from readers focused on the entrepreneurship ecosystem in India (of which, I know I have many), with pointers to what blogs you read that you find particularly insightful.
Interesting list..here is my comment:
VW – Except for posts by Alok and a selected individual, nothing is worth talking about.
VC Circle – one-stop blog for everything related to funding in India.
KamlaBhatt’s blog – few great podcasts, but overall I enjoy her posts/podcasts.
coming to Indian startup blogs, the ones that stand out are pluggd.in and webyantra – pluggdin has great insights, amazing content and product reviews and so is with webyantra.
as far as trak.in is concerned, well nothing worth talking about (infact I wonder how come you have put that site name here? they fooled their readers by reporting wrong figures, startupdunia was good, but no significant stuff quite lately..
whts ur opinion?
I personally like VC circle and plugged.in.
Webyantra is good too but post are very infrequent.
You missed Blognation i guess.
Venture Intelligence, Web Yantra and Trak.in are the blogs I follow. All of them do a commendable job of providing readers with great content.
I have seen the recent chaos over trak.in getting 100k+ pageviews (which I think is not too great). And I am actually surprised that readers scrutinize behind the page details of a popular blog. I dont think the figures can be manipulated so easily.
NP – Regd your statement “And I am actually surprised that readers scrutinize behind the page details of a popular blog. I dont think the figures can be manipulated so easily.
” – well, readers start questioning a blog when they realize that the blogger is cheating them.
And if you think figs cant be manipulated so easily, you watch the video and decide
all the best!
I think you missed out contentsutra.com, they are probably the best of the lot. Besides there’s AlooTechie and Watblog, both are atleast as good as Trak.in
Yes, I did. I read Contentsutra regularly. Thanks for pointing it out.
