How to transform an idea into a company

Ashish Gupta, Tavant Technologies

The speaker will describe his experience in transforming ideas
into commercial ventures. For e.g. the importance of identifying a customer
problem for most ideas, ensuring that the improvements are non-trivial, the
difference in perspectives of a technologist, business person and investor
etc. We will also touch upon how the nature of that effort has changed in
the last year and some of the current "fashions" vis a' vis starting
companies. The discussion in this hour will be participatory.
