Roundtable Recap: October 16 – Carnival In The Cloud in India with Sharad Sharma and Ravi Gururaj

As part of the launch events for my new book, Carnival In The Cloud, today we turned the focus on the Indian cloud entrepreneurship scene. Two special guests, Ravi Gururaj, Chair of NASSCOM’s product council, and Sharad Sharma, Founder of iSPRIT, each with enormous contributions towards the growth of the Indian software product eco-system, weighed in with their thoughts on the various aspects of the market.

Ravi emphasized that India is still a nascent market, and Sharad emphasized that entrepreneurs will need to be patient and use bootstrapping aggressively. However, the combination of mobile and cloud will continue to create tremendous business opportunities for Indian entrepreneurs.

We are all bullish about the long term.

Roundtable Recap: October 9 – Carnival in the Cloud with Naren Gupta, Nexus Venture Partners

As part of the launch events for my new book, Carnival In The Cloud, today’s roundtable had a special guest – Naren Gupta, co-founder and Managing Partner of Nexus Venture Partners, a firm with an excellent track record of investing in the Silicon Valley – India corridor, but with a global market point of view.

Naren discussed some of his cloud investments in DimDim, Druva, and Aryaka. Each of them are unique cloud offerings started by Indian entrepreneurs, but catering to global markets. DimDim was a web conferencing product that Salesforce acquired, and Naren discussed how well DD Ganguly, the founder, bootstrapped before raising financing from Nexus.

The conversation is full of insights, nuggets, and interesting wisdom from a veteran investor who is also strikingly polite and humble. Definitely, one of my favorites in the business!
