Starting up in India, suggestions for a hub?
bosky101: completely subjective to personal tastes & choice. You can be a startup out of shimla ( Ankit from instablog.com) or Kanpur (Abdul Qabiz's) or the southern most tip of south mumbai ( Sahil from Deskaway)i've worked at a startup in bangalore , co-founded one in chennai and moved to pune because apart from loving to travel & pune's proximity to Mumbai for certain biz needs. But I'm fortunate to attend more events out of pune, so the hub is essentally how ever far u can extend it! barcamps used to depict the ecosystem, but now OCC's do a better job of it.here are some nice reads:
