A Perception.

Talking to Vipin, we caught hold of a few perceptive lines which hold the entrpreneurial inspiration.

As you can see now a days people are getting VC funding and then they start the company but still there is an option that you dont need money from a VC and you can start the venture from yourself using bootstrapped method.

As we have strong feeling that people get smarter by practice. Either its money making or product development and we are in business from last 4 years so we knew it very well.
