Google n Facebook are two giants in Industry who can run a mini nation with their amount of turnover in a fiscal year..I see a lot of other industry giants like PayPal,Microsoft which were a college start ups but later turned to be one of the Biggest and most happening companies of so called Corporate World...
But When it comes to my country i see a lot of start ups but don't see any success stories of them y so???
I ,myself did start up fell twice-thrice down..learnt how to fight and currently hanging in midst of two boats,One of them is IDEAL LIFE boat and other one MY DREAM boat...dunno when i will jump into the latter one..but hope that time comes very soon!!
Ok,Lets come back to point...What happens to Indian College Start up's?
Firstly,normal colleges in India don't like the very idea of students inventing a job for themselves,they stress on finding a job for one.
The reason is social structure,our society doesn't want to support any budding idea.A lot of de-motivation is always supplied in bulk.
Secondly ,not everyone in India can do a start up ,only students at II(shi)T can do it coz they get start up cash and facility,but they also end up not doing it.(they want 45 L job rather).
I will take you through 2 real life stories of Colleges

College 1- India's Most Premier Insti. - IIT MAD-ras
The college kids with best of their creativity and brains started a techie-social initiative of mapping intra-college buses through GPS in order to help students to track intra -buses where they are located ,when they will arrive at stop and all GPS related tech thingy...So these bunch of guys started working on it..spent around thousands of rupees made a GPS device of their own from cell phone and other smart tricks which they googled and started working on it..
PILOT phase was awesome ,everyone in college praised it ,this kind of idea could have saved a lot of time of common people by mapping various buses ,trains even cabs or any means of transport.So these bunch of kids really excited went ahead with phase two-the real time implementation the students and college backed off from project ,they dint think its a worth of spending time and added que to another several lakhs of project lying scrapped.

Now lets take a look at grant a institute like IIT or NIT or any premier institute gets
- Rs 15 lakh to fresh entrants
- Rs. 20-25 crores for (TEQUIP)World Bank funded Technical Education Quality Improvement Program
- High End Incubator for startups
So what do we conclude from above,"We don't have infra to support our start ups",No that's not the case.The case is we don't take innovation and invention seriously.We do it for just sake of college projects to get good GPAs..get over it ppl!!.
It was yesterday my neighbour's daughter came to my place she is in engineering 4th year last sem asking me tell me some project you might have done ,that i can copy and finish it off.I asked her"Are you not aware of technology".she said"Teacher says copy it and finish it."..all i could say was "What the shack"..
Look above and beyond ur 45 lacs per annum salary,look for contribution to society so that they remember you.
No, time for second example.this time its mine example
COLLEGE 2- A pure science College Bhavans Vivekananda College
I saw a leap ahead in event industry ,saw requirements of manpower in events is always high and having a centralized database/company providing quality manpower reduces risk of events.
So,i started with my 1st Venture Colossus Megaventures with my friend pradeep who had good knowledge of this industry.We worked hard in term end holidays made a good database companies contacted us,but once college started we were grounded the reason being college dint want us to work/intern just come attend classes ,get good marks ,sit for placement and hook to one of those body shops.
Lack of support from staff of my college demotivated me in start but i said lemme do it,its my life.I worked hard got some good clients made decent money with my ideas.But you know what happened teachers screwed my grades in internals and final practicals just for one reason I dint listen to them to concentrate more on studies and leave that job of mine.They thought lets take a revenge and they landed my graduation end term with just passing marks in all 4 practicals.I got a good job i campus that year,went for it and currently stuck at it..Need to get over it badly.
Over here the question is ,if they would have extended their support to me then .I would have been atleast happy with my passion.No they killed it.
Its not any conclusion blog..to tell what we should do/don't do?
Its just a question.."AREN'T WE NARROWING OUR BRAINS?
WHY DON'T WE INVENT A JOB RATHER THEN FINDING ONE?
WHEN THAT DAY WILL COME WHEN WE HAVE ZUCKERBERG OR GATES OR STEVE JOBS OR LARRY PAGE FROM OUR COUNTRY"
We should think on it seriously....
I have started my support to start ups..Anyone with a start up idea.I will get him free website designed and developed all on my expense coz i wanna motivate you for future...not present..
Look AHEAD..or STAY HUNGRY STAY FOOLISH!!
