Snatches from conversations with guests
"These days I have mostly been thinking about startup activities in Chennai. I have been impressed by how many startups I meet at these events, like Proto.in and OpenCoffee Club. We find a huge increase in the numbers over the last about a year and a half. There is definitely a tilt towards Internet-based startups. Though there are not many huge successes, what is key is that more people are willing to leave comfortable jobs and start companies. A few years back, they were more risk-averse."
