I had interesting conversations with two readers of my blog in the last couple of weeks. One of them was doing a report on the feasibility of online retail in India. She was working in a small group of I think 4 people, who needed to submit an optimistic report, i.e. look at the brighter side of things so far as online retailing goes.
She sent me an e-mail, and after the initial contact was established she sent me a few questions that she wanted answered. My e-mail response was followed by a telephonic conversation in which we discussed the finer details of Easy Dukaan operations and the challenges faced by us vis-a-vis brick and mortar stores.
There was a sense of deja vu when I met another reader over coffee, and heard the similar questions from him. Deepak had different reasons for meeting me since he is interested in entrepreneurship, and plans to start his own business and e-commerce is one of the areas he is exploring.
We had a fruitful 2.5 hour meeting in which we discussed ideas, shared our experiences with each other and explored opportunities of working together in the future. Deepak has a unique business idea (not in the area of e-commerce) and while I will not discuss it here, suffice it to say that I found his idea very interesting and kinda unique.
