Interesting Read - Startup Ideas Evaluation

These observations reflect products built without understanding the market, tech, users, and future aspects. The 360-degree analysis seems missing. I do it for tech, I do it because I like to do it. I also have gone thru the bias.

• What you do, Why you do
• Markets / Current Landscape
• What do you do differently
• How much are you challenging current players

Being a consultant to see both sides is important

• Ability to influence determines growth. Confidence – Competence – Conviction - Authenticity  
• Confidence comes with Plan, Preparation, Awareness, Communication, Preparedness
• Listening helps to Collect data. Consulting = Minimal talking, Maximum Listening
• Presentation - Purpose – Drivers – Case Studies
• Open-ended questions let you know why. What – Gold, Why - Platinum

I would still rate Khan Academy >>> Byju's. Money is not the only factor of success.

What is your learning strategy?

Some answers worth noticing

1. Unless you are working on that tech stack actively, you cannot remember it all
2. Learn fundamentals. Learn only things based on YOUR needs
3. Interviews aren’t totally reflective of the job but one‘s got to pass the interview before getting to the job.
4. Demonstrate competency of core concepts, get the job, and then rise to the occasion as fast as possible
5. Start building the things that you want to build, and you'll learn what you need to along the way.
6. By deliberately selecting your objectives and evaluating possible solutions based on those objectives.
7. Build stuff. Pick out ideas and just build them to build them
8. As a human, you can't be good at everything. You always need to balance between being average in a lot of topics and good in a few topics.
9. Think of a side project you would enjoy that includes a handful of these technologies and start building it. 

My Approach - Every problem these days requires dusting previous memories, read up minimally to recollect paste efforts, spend time connecting the dots and applying to the context 

Happy Learning!!!

Startup Ideas

Idea #1 - Connecting the Dots in Travel Experience - Today we have cab aggregator, bus aggregator platforms, payments, etc. These are still working in silos. There is a bigger need to integrate them and providing more seamless travel experience. Example - (Uber + Indigo + Paytm) similar tie-ups would help to integrate booking - pickups - travel and drop to the final destination. This end to end solution would reduce cab wait times, better-handled delays/wait times, better travel experience for the customer.

Idea #2 - Analytics in WindEnergy / Solar Energy for better Energy Harvest - Adjust the directions of rotations according to wind/weather forecasts. Changing panel directions based on weather forecasts, wind etc

Happy Ideas!!!
