BillBaba: And a year flew by!
On a usual Monday afternoon the phone beeped, and I realized that BillBaba.com had completed one year since launch. The initial yearly reminder that I had set up to remind me of this had actually played it’s part and it dawned upon me that a year had passed since BillBaba.com said Hello to the world wide web!
I would lie if I said that the year passed in a flash. The year was longer than all those years when going to office was a routine, it was heavier, but it was faster. The Einstein’s theory of relativity does apply to Entrepreneurship as well - at faster speeds (comparable to speed of light), time does appear to slow down! Overall it has been a great learning experience, and definitely has carved out a better me.
This post if more about data, about what BillBaba.com has seen in terms of numbers. Personally, I have always felt that there is a lack of data points in the India eco-system. We don’t know about many successful exits, and even if we have heard of a few, we absolutely don’t know about the financial value of the transaction. There aren’t enough benchmarks to see if you have good, decent or poor traffic/userbase, especially in the Indian context. Below is my contribution to the eco-system.
