Updates

Lots to update since the last post here.

• ET-Power of Ideas campaign has been occupying us since the time we got shortlisted for the second round. Attended the mentoring session at Bangalore and its been quite eventful ever since. Preparing the elevator pitch though looked easy being only a six slide presentation but had to put in a lot of thoughts in place going into it. All said and done, I submitted the pitch just before the deadline. And the discussion on the the same with IAN(Indian Angel Network) was scheduled for last Saturday the 25th April at 1PM. Mr Umar of IAN called up on time and to summarize the discussion, it was 'GOOD'.
• I was to take him through the whole pitch of six slides in 15 minutes. Started off defining the product for him. Prolly he didn't get the complete hang of it, initially, and good for me that he asked me to clarify. So we went off the document and then onwards it was more of a business discussion. He showed interest and I lucidly could explain to him every part of it, though in not the same order as the slides.
• The best sign came when he asked me go to the financials irrespective of the slide. Form whatever interaction I've had with investors, thats one sign when an investor likes your ideas, he wants to know how much money it generates.
• Meanwhile have also got two more people on board. As promoters though we lack the relevant field experience these two members make for it. They definitely need a separate post and the links to their for all their achievements and what they bring to the table for BlushingPi.
• Meanwhile on a personal front last 2 weeks hasn't been very good. Without dwelling much, there is a crack I hope it doesn't break things up for BlushingPi. I am determined not to let it.
