New Panic HQ
This looks like an “office of the future” as featured in those 60’s futurist TV specials. I’m insanely jealous.
Small is Beautiful.™ — People matter. Small businesses and indie artists enrich the world in a way that no faceless corporation can.

Customer obsession is the single most important asset you can have as a company. Every second of every day you should be able to know exactly why you are working on whatever it is you are working on and how that helps the customer. What about it makes their life easier and their experience with your company better?

Indian Media serves 99% crap. There’s always tons of bullshit everywhere. If someone starts a excellent, highly professional written blog, with decent content featuring “what people exactly need to know”, can be a good thing. And, slowly it can become the “default source of news” something like the HuffPost. The space is hugely empty, and can be filled.

By focusing on only a few core features in the first version, you are forced to find the true essence and value of the product.
Success is a journey, and failure is part of the trip. To have a chance of success, you should innovate and create new experiences for your customers. We sometimes do not hit it right the first time. But don’t let failure stop you from reaching your goal. You have to come out of failure, enlightened and learned. Only then will you become closer to success.
Do you love what you are doing?
Be it Guy Kawasaki or be it Paul Graham or be it Steve Jobs - every pundit swears by the mantra that you should do what you love. If you do not enjoy what you are doing, there are very few chances that you will be successful in it.
So, here’s a question for those of you reading this post -
- How many of you actually love what you are doing ?
- If not, are you doing anything to change that ?
Feel free to leave your responses via anonymous comments. It would be great to get a feel of how many of you are actually pursuing your passion, whatever that might be…
The theory of 80:20 perfectly applies to Indian Tech Industry. The 80:20 theory in corporate world goes as…
Almost all working people in corporate world must have heard about this. but still today no body is serious about this and day by day this ratio is increasing.
80:20 means it is a ratio of non-working employee vs working employee. In almost all the offices in world only 20% of employee do work and 80% enjoys. Today with the new work culture, I feel this ratio is increasing as most of the employees don’t want to work. They just want big money for small work.
I seen many such cases and they are so lucky that even they get the places like this.
This 80:20 theory doesn’t even exist in start-ups, because people in a start-up are passionate about what they do and love what they do!
Often I meet many people, many friends who work for this or this big-fat company with 40 international offices and a tiny things takes 10 days to finish company and after discussing with them one thing clearly comes out they don’t find any enjoyment in their work… they are usually a part of a project & some other major stuff like that where there are 40 to 100 people like them are working for the same thing, same stuff, everyday; thing which they might called an big project for some big-fish MNC client.
Nothing special about this post, It is not like that I’m not liking what I am doing… I’m loving what I am doing & I always love what I do…
This is just a post to see what you people think around about what you are doing right-now…? Usually, I come across many people, many friends of mine, Even if they’re not doing anything they are pretty happy, and they pretend to be happy earning money for doing nothing in their office space, but sitting & Goggling & forwarding shitty mails to their gangs or hanging out on Facebook, This is what we define as “typical-employee-minded”. Sitting & passing the month in the cube, almost doing nothing… 95% people I meet or know are working for IT companies in the town and they are either not happy with their current work, boss or manager or they’re looking for a change. Especially in the Indian Tech Industry, which is purely a service industry in our country… You must be familiar with terms like “sitting on the bench”… and stuff like that, So…
My question is why to sit if you can walk, you can do & most of all, you can think…?
Frankly, there’s no such thing as multi-tasking. What’s really happening is a rapid shifting of focus. A human can only keep that up for a short period of time before errors start creeping in. And rarely do we see the best work out of people who are continually interrupted.
Do something compelling. There’s a trillion people writing blogs that need something to write about. There are magazines hungry for content. There are hundreds of thousands of people bored on the internet wanting something to look at or do. For the most part, people have exceedingly low standards on the internet. But, I think people are hungry for better. Make something better. People will notice.

There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.
