OnePlus One Will Be Available in India via the Invite System Only


OnePlus One Will Be Available in India via the Invite System Only

The fact that the OnePlus One will launch in India has been known for a while now, but it wasn't clear if the phone will be available via general sale, or if the company will continue the invite-based approach seen internationally. Now, there's some clarity of the subject.
The company, via a forum post mentioned that India is a new market where it would like to minimise the risks. As a result, the company will introduce an India-specific invite system for those looking to order the OnePlus One smartphone.

"As with our current launch countries, Indian users will be able to purchase the One with an India specific invite," a company representative wrote on the forum. "Invites have been immensely helpful for us thus far in our current launch countries. They allow us to control our inventory, scale our team and support services to grow along with demand and create an overall better experience for those users with the One. As this is our first experience with the Indian market, we didn't want to be too ambitious."
The firm added that Indians will have enough chances to earn invites, either through the forum or through its social media channels. OnePlus will also be working with local partners, as hinted by the company's job listing for "General Manager - India, Operations" a few months ago.
"Don't worry. Invites will be neither scarce nor impossible to come by. We'll also be working with a local partner for an even easier way to get your hands on the One. In addition, invites will also be available through our forums and social media channels... but more information on that a bit later," added the forum post.
The exact India release date for the OnePlus One smartphone has not been confirmed yet.
The OnePlus One will be up for pre-orders in international markets on Monday. To order the handset, users can visit the dedicated pre-order website. Notably, users would need to create a OnePlus account before pre-ordering the OnePlus One. However, the catch here is that the pre-order window is just an hour. The firm would not limit the number of units ordered, and the phones will ship as and when they become available.

7 mobile innovations from the land of Samsung and LG

7 mobile innovations from the land of Samsung and LG


This is the second part of the list of the most promising mobile innovations of South Korea. You can check the first part here.
Here are seven most promising Korean innovation in mobile technology which we saw at Global Mobile Vision 2014 in Seoul last week. Most of the companies are at a mature stage having being founded before 2010, with an experienced team and already profitable.
South-korea
What happens in South Korea, no more stays in South Korea
  1. BridgeCall (Bridge Mobile, Inc)
What is it?: Ever since the first VOIP call was made, the world has changed to a better place where it is possible to keep in touch with people who matter in one’s lives, for a cost that was once unthinkable: free. However, and despite the ubiquity of VOIP technology, the only way to have a truly seamless integration of VOIP in the mobile phone experience is a carrier-supported WiFi call feature, which is very rare.
Bridge Call may be the solution: it is an Android app, which aims at being invisible. It integrates with the existing phone and contact user interface. When a call is made, it determines if both parties are registered on Bridge Call, and if that’s the case, the call is switched to a free VOIP call, without user intervention. If not, the call uses the standard voice call provided by the carrier.
BridgeCall
Why is it in the list?: Bridge Call does an impressive job of integration that has eluded established players who all require users to open a different app. This gives Mobile Bridge Inc a chance to provide what users truly want.

  1.  CallGate:
What is it?: CallGate is a SaaS provider of high ROI enterprise mobile solutions. CallGate Visual Voice allows customers to view call center’s service menu on their mobile screen while listening to recorded voice from the IVR service.
Callgate
Why is it in the list?: CallGate is solving an important problem faced by all while making calls to customer service centers. The company has a strong IP with over 300 patents in APAC region. With USD 3 million raised so far, they have already gone profitable last year and the revenue is almost doubling every year. The company has 40+ call centres as their clients (of the total 700) in Korea. They are soon going to launch in the US, Taiwan & Japan. An experienced team behind the company makes its future more promising.

  1. Tenjoy BoardHub & Spoke (Tenjoy Board)
What is it?: Tenjoy Board is a tweaked gym board with multiple functionalities which can be used for education, fitness and gaming. Men and women of all ages can exercise continuously anytime and anywhere with Tenjoy Board. One can exercise by manipulating the smartphone and computer games with their feet.
Why is it in the list?: The company has an experienced team behind the product who has already sold over 300,000 gym boards in the past (in Korea). It has a tie up with the telecom giant SK Telecom in Korea to sell the product (Tenjoy).
Korea is undeniably one of the hottest gaming markets in the world, and with the additional applications in education and fitness, the Tenjoy board is more promising than any other piece of hardware. The applications (software) have massive potential to be tweaked around and thus increase the number of use cases for the board. The product is apt for all age groups; education for kids, gaming for teens and youth and fitness for elderly. A possible collaboration with companies like Samsung and Intel can further boost the international presence of the product (already in talks).

  1. Korea Creadic Life (Adpop)
What is it?: Korea Creadic Life develops software and provides payment service related to CAT, POS, electronic signature pad, and credit card payment at about 450,000 member stores.
AD-POP is equipped with multifunction (NFC payment, RF payment, QR code recognition, advertisement, and mobile coupon, etc) unlike conventional sign pad that only credit card users could use to sign the bill. This embraces even mobile-based payment market along with the credit card users.
Adpop
Why is it in the list?: There are additional features like visitors personal information encryption, real time visitors statistics, automatic transmission exhibition e-catalog, which cater to exhibition industry. The innovative features provide usefulness and fun to the users and convenience and service to member stores and advertisers.

  1. SpacosaCorp (Famy):

 Why is it in the list?: Currently, Famy is localized for 10 major languages and used in more than 130 countries, with a great growth rate in South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China.
 2X charger BenchSoft
  1. Bench soft
What is it?: Mobile accessory development company, Bench Soft  has made a charging cable which enables charging at 2X speed.
Why is it in the list?: The product and the team of specialized engineers in audio DSP, 2.4 GhZ wireless technology, mobile applications, battery operations.

  1. PuzlookIlias Project (by Puzlook)

Five lessons entrepreneurs can learn from Mark Zuckerberg’s latest stunt

Five lessons entrepreneurs can learn from Mark Zuckerberg’s latest stunt


On 22nd October Mark Zuckerberg was at Beijing’s Tsinghua University for his first ever public Q&A. The audience, full of students, were visibly excited at this opportunity. But something even more wonderful awaited them.
Mark Zuckerberg
Once the interviewer was done officially introducing him, Zuckerberg greeted the crowd in Mandarin- a gesture that drew polite applause from the crowd. But when he continued speaking in Mandarin for the entire 30 minute interview the audience, and subsequently the internet, went wild. Never mind that the ratings of his grasp on Mandarin ranged from ‘terrible’ to ‘mediocre’. Zuckerberg’s charming self-deprecation as he trudged on in broken Mandarin and his jokes, which everyone is going crazy over even though we can’t understand them, won the day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_168pH9GJk
If you are having trouble digesting such a reaction think how an Indian audience would react if Zuckerberg, or any other western icon, spoke in Hindi for the entire length of an interview. Any prediction of euphoric uproar would be an understatement. In honour of this lovely feat YourStory compiles a list of five lessons any entrepreneur, aspiring and otherwise, can learn from the founder of Facebook.
5. Don’t plateau:
Two commonly reiterated dreams of the twenty first century working professional are either to make a fortune while you are young and then retire to a paradise island and live out your days in a haze of fun or invent something crazy successful and be celebrated as an overnight success. Zuckerberg has the funds to do the former and is obviously the latter.
Plateauing comes when after a steep bout of successes individuals comfortably settle into reaping the benefits of those. It is the single plane of existence, albeit high up the corporate ladder, where life is cocooned, sheltered and privileged. Chances are nothing is going to top the founding of Facebook. Instead of settling in to enjoy ten lifetime’s worth of rewards, Zuckerberg showed us what made him a fantastic innovator in the first place. He placed prime emphasis on human accomplishment.
4. Challenge yourself:
Mandarin is consistently placed first on the list of the toughest languages to learn in the world. New languages are best learnt as toddlers, ten year olds or maximum teenagers. Adults have notoriously high number of cognitive disadvantages when it comes to mastering a new language- any language. It is easy to imagine how incredibly difficult it was to learn the world’s arguably most difficult language for the thirty year old Zuckerberg. In fact he took it up because, ‘Chinese is hard and he loves challenges.’
What’s stopping you from training for that ten mile marathon or mastering Italian cuisine? If lack of time is a favoured complaint then know that you got nothing on a billionaire CEO.
3. Love your (extended) family:
Zuckerberg’s personal reason for wanting to learn Mandarin, according to Quartz, is so he could speak to his grandmother-in-law in her native language (his wife Priscilla Chan is of Chinese-Vietnamese descent). How endearing is that?
Zuckerberg with wife Priscilla Chan

Chasing success is all well and good but it means nothing if, at the end of the day, you have no one to share it with. It is this sentiment that separates the successful entrepreneurs from the happy ones. Look at what gives your life meaning and makes it worth living. Devote the time and energy it deserves. Like Maya Angelou said, “I sustain myself with the love of family.”
2. Difficult problems demand innovative solutions:
Zuckerberg’s intentions in learning Mandarin weren’t entirely rooted in family love and a fondness for challenges. He has been working since 2009 to get Facebook unblocked in China, a country known for its strict internet censorship regime. Though Facebook has been involved with helping Chinese companies grow abroad- using Facebook ads to find more customers- landing a foothold with the country’s two billion strong populace has been nearly impossible. Needless to say securing this foothold would be financially extremely lucrative for the social networking site.
Business writer Rob Schmitz wrote, “In the world of business, if you’re going to stand any chance with the Chinese, you have to show that you’re willing to invest in Chinese culture and Chinese language.” When years of boardroom strategizing and diplomatic negotiating did not yield worthwhile results, this single act of respect for another’s culture won over the Chinese public for Zuckerberg.
1. Sustain that success:
One of the most important nuggets of information from the interview that did not get lost in translation was Zuckerberg’s plan for the future. “Facebook is 10 years old this year. So if I ask 10 years from now, what should we develop? I decided we should develop three things. First, we need to connect the entire world. We need everybody to use the internet. Second, we want to develop (in English) artificial intelligence. I think 10 years from now computers will be better than humans at reading, listening, talking, and other things. So we are developing this. Third, when everyone is using mobile phones, I believe the next platform will be (in English) virtual reality. Oculus is the first product, but we hope there will be many products. Those three things.”
When Facebook hit the horizon a decade ago, few could have prophesied how crucial a global voice it would rise to become. While the past may have been serendipity for Zuckerberg, he is clearly building on that for an equally game changing future. With bold new social networking sites hitting the scenes every day (hello Ello), many studies have questioned Facebook’s relevance in the increasingly hyper digital world we inhabit.
Facebook’s future may be uncertain, but Zuckerberg’s certainly is not. He is looking to change the world. Yet again, going by the advice he doled out to entrepreneurs, “I feel that the best companies are started not because the founder wanted a company but because the founder wanted to change the world…. If you decide you want to found a company you maybe start to develop your first idea. And hire lots of workers. But you maybe have lots of ideas and you don’t know which one is best. If the first idea isn’t good, then your company isn’t good. But if you decide to change the world you should try to develop more ideas. If any idea is very good later you found the company.”
You can watch the interview here in full.

How does a startup life look like from the perspective of an entrepreneur’s better half?


How does a startup life look like from the perspective of an entrepreneur’s better half?


Editor’s note: An entrepreneur’s life is not easy. It is a long grinding journey full of turmoil. Personal relationships often take a bashing and it is important to have an understanding partner to keep the boat sailing. Here is a perspective of a entrepreneur’s better half on the whole situation. Names have not been disclosed on request and the post works both ways. 
otherhalfAn entrepreneur would never ask his or her other half before starting of a new journey after reaching a goal. He (or she) would wake up with an idea in his mind or it would come to him at any given point of time. With that moment, he starts on this journey of following the (new) call. As a life partner, you are not involved most of the times in this sparking moments and you don’t usually have a say. That would be against the nature of a free-spirited entrepreneur. Ideas come at any given point of time and no one would know which idea would be followed next. Often, without even knowing, you would find yourself in the first steps of the journey and then realize. When it is revealed, your intuition most of the times would have already told you. In the end, you know him better than he knows himself.
Once the next step is clear, he automatically starts the engine that is required to get on the road to make this ‘one thing’ happen. You would see the person nights over nights thinking, making notes, calling people, running into endless rounds of discussions in coffee shops around the city. Joining meet-ups of every form to figure out the right people who can contribute or support him on this journey.
If a relationship wasn’t already hard work, then you have no idea of the chaos that you get into with an entrepreneur. He’s always on the go, always in the hurry to finish a task, to do one more call, answer one more email.
There are times when he won’t talk, his mind and attention would be so fully occupied that he would hardly notice anything else. He would not switch off the laptop in the night and run out without breakfast as the next meeting is already waiting for him. When starting a company, there is a lot that needs to be paid attention to. You would have had no idea unless you’ve been on that journey alongside. You even start picking up tasks in case your background allows you to help. It’s some times nice to have experience in a different field, it brings a new perspective. Through living with him (or her), you start breathing his ideas too and you will develop a valid opinion too. Anyways, you’ll end up falling in love with the idea and will make them your own. The journey becomes yours in a very different way. You’ll learn more about life and yourself than you could have imagined before.
He will use long weekends to finish pending tasks, while you may want to have a long drive holding hands and dreaming in the middle of nowhere. You’ll have to show understanding on each and every level and I mean every – business, friends, family, team, investors and the person. He won’t ask you to pick up this task, nor he would go without you, it’s just that his mind is always working on something else. There are times when your patience will be stretched beyond limits without the other person even recognising it. The only advice I can give you, go on with your life and your love. The other person won’t know it maybe during the journey or in specific moments, but he or she needs your support. No matter how many people praise their efforts and no matter who gives them a kudos for the idea, it’s always your support that means the most. You’re the one who reminds him of his overall goal.
And if we were to talk about qualities, you’ve to learn to listen more than you talk. Because he or she is the one who will keep talking, improving presentation skills, talking out loud all the ideas, brainstorming, repeating meetings minutes and to do list, listing out all the hiring challenges and client queries.
I could go on and on… In the end one thing is for sure, all entrepreneurs are workaholics and they stay it throughout their lives. They work so much that it doesn’t feel like work. It feels like who they are and what they do. They feel alive when they work. If you don’t buy into that part your life together won’t end up very happy. But what you can do and have to do, because s/he won’t see it, is to help understand that life doesn’t only happen in front of the laptop or when you check another ‘to do’ off the list. There are moments that will give him strength that won’t happen in his office. You remind him that it’s great to have goals, but they are the details. Your vision is the ultimate dream and you help him keep dreaming. Always keep dreaming together.
All said and done, the entrepreneurial journey works out better with you on board. S/he needs a net under him, (believe me they will find it out or he knows it already) and perhaps the only one who can ever provide that is a wife.

When should a B2B company start with Sales and Marketing a new product?

When should a B2B company start with Sales and Marketing a new product?


This article is a follow up on the previous article about when and how to scale a B2B enterprise internationally?
Software startups are mostly started by Engineering Folks! There I said it. I can see hands raising.
Iteratively the product gets into shape and you start wondering “When should I start thinking about Sales and Marketing?”. Well my friend, if this is where you are then you are already a little late.
thinking
At the conceptualization stage itself some work needs to go around the segment to who you would like to sell to, and how you will sell in that segment. I know you believe that your product can fit in multiple scenarios, it’s a game changer, it’s a platform on which everything else would be built… “Hold On!” By thinking of so many things at the same time, chances of getting one right is miniscule.
Lets take an example, Assume you have designed a CRM which makes sense :) [They really don’t]. Now instead of saying I have a CRM, lets focus on one process; say sales.  Good, can we further classify it into B2B Sales / B2C sales and even further trim it down to the industry vertical(s).
With this you will be able to think about real problems in that domain, rather than just creating another CRM. This thought pertains to product management, but we will get there some other day.
So the marketing has to kick in and figure out in the segment of choice the channels to reach that market. Channels could be:
  1. Online Try and Buy
  2. Inside-Sales / Field Sales combination
  3. Channel partners
  4. Riding an existing ecosystem (Like SFDC)
Once you have figured out the channels that you would like to explore, the teams that you need to build becomes clearer. It also becomes important at this stage to estimate what would be CAC (Cost of acquisition) of your customer of each channel. Rough estimates would do. Once you have made these estimates, this becomes your business model and now you just need to keep working on your model to prove that it works.
The day this can be proven, you can scale.
So Marketing kicks in the day you started thinking ‘product’, what about Sales? If in the founding team you do not have someone with sales experience [Our team at Drishti was like that], then I would advise you to have an early member who can contribute to both sales and marketing and can be a long term member. Of-course you being the founder would need to be selling for a long time (It never stops), but a formal Sales experience is very very valuable.
So once your product comes to a stage where you have early adopters you should hire sales teams to validate your model. At this stage fail fast is good to do quick experiments and; just make sure that your model is getting validated.
One of my recent learnings has been around Content. It is extremely important to get a content team in place if you plan to sell online. The old school SEO PPC just doesn’t cut it. An experiment I conducted on LinkedIn sponsored content worth 24 dollars was on same blog content but with two different titles:
A.   Outbound Sales | Dial More to Sell more? | Intelligent Recycle strategies
Vs
B.   Retry strategies for your b2c predictive-dialer campaign
A got 2 hits from about 100 impressions and B 0 hits from 1300 impressions! It took me two days to get to the title A.
So, in conclusion if you can get a Sales Marketing Specialist in your choice of Channels, get him/her on board the day you can find one. It will tremendously reduce your revenue cycle. If the funds become a constraint, then do your segmentation first, get your early adopters and immediately start experimenting with your channels, build quick experiments (outsourcing helps) and validate your model. The day your model is validated, hire the best Sales person on the planet for your choice of channel. Raise money if you need to, but don’t stay in the loop of selling yourself for very long. You would not scale that way.
Happy Hunting!

How starting up in 80s wasn’t the same as today, Nandan Nilekani shares his thoughts


How starting up in 80s wasn’t the same as today, Nandan Nilekani shares his thoughts


Starting up in the 80′s was a different cup of tea from starting up today, as Nandan Nilekani will tell you. Infosys, the company he co-founded was born around ten years before the economic reforms began. At TechSparks grand finale, Nandan spoke about this very difference.
It was the first time that middle class people with no money were starting a company. Everybody told us not to start a company. my parents, my teachers my uncles, they said, ‘you are crazy to start a company, go and join some large corporation’.
Nandan Nilekani
Nandan Nilekani
Today it is time for 100′s of global companies from India, Nandan emphasized in his talk. There is an street in HSR layout  (a Bangalore suburb) which is almost entirely filled with startups. He observed, drawing parallels with entrepreneurship scene in 1980′s.
We did not really celebrate entrepreneurship. It was all about large companies and multinationals and not about startups. doing business was very difficult, getting a phone took two years. we couldn’t travel abroad without asking permission from the reserve bank of India. There was a time when I had to make two quick visits to the New York for business, and some clerk in RBI said, ‘why are you going to the US so often ‘. That was the kind of India we were in those days, yet we are able to break out of that. The break happened in the early 1990′s when economic liberalization happened.

Amazon’s new streaming device ‘Fire TV Stick’ to take on Google’s Chromecast

Amazon’s new streaming device ‘Fire TV Stick’ to take on Google’s Chromecast


Fire_TV_Stick_Amazon
Last week you might have heard that Amazon has pulled the plug on its Fire Phone — after quarters of disappointing performance. But that dosen’t seems to deter Bezos and team from getting their hands dirty with a hardware play. Today Amazon has debuted yet another product called  Fire TV Stick to directly compete with the likes of ChromecastRokuPlayer and the Matchstick that was developed on Mozilla’s open-source Firefox OS.
Here are the specs of the deviceSo on paper, the Fire TV Stick has plenty of bells and whistles to make it competitive in a market that is dominated by Chrome and RokuPlayer till date.
Fire TV Stick is a very ambitious attempt and bet on streaming media delivery. Will the consumers vote it with the money in their wallet is something; we need to wait and see! Amazon is launching Fire TV Stick just in time for the holiday shopping season.
In addition it also provides a voice search via a remote control that a user need to buy separately.
Fire TV Stick is the most powerful streaming media stick available—a dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, dual-band and dual-antenna Wi-Fi, included remote control, voice search with our free mobile app, easy set-up, an open ecosystem, and exclusive features like ASAP for instant streaming,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. “The team has packed an unbelievable amount of power and selection into an incredible price point—Fire TV Stick is just $39.
Fire TV Stick AmazonAmazon is providing SDK for developers to submit apps for Fire TV stick
Amazon has positioned their product as a competitor of Chromecast, but in reality the Amazon stick is more of a competitor to their own Fire TV and Apple TV, because it not merely about just casting media from your android phone.
Price wise Fire TV stick higher by $10, where as Chromecast is $35, while it’s still cheaper than RokuPlay ($50). Amazon said the Fire TV Stick will ship on Nov. 19. Those of you have got relatives with Prime Membership will get it cheaper as Amazon is offering a temporary $20 discount. Currently Fire TV Stick is available to US customers.

WAGmob has built 400 apps from Indore and now has a B2B product with Google as a customer

WAGmob has built 400 apps from Indore and now has a B2B product with Google as a customer


Wagmob
Kalpit and Kavita Jain are ex-Microsoft employees who started to dabble into the world of mobile in 2010. They initiated WAGmob by building consumer apps in the field of education. Under the simpleNeasyApp banner, WAGmob launched apps like “Learn Andoid Programming”,  “Project Management”, “Learn Greek”, etc. The idea was to try if such diverse set of ideas converted into apps had takers and as it turns out, there were. And all these apps are pay-to-use apps.
For instance, the Physics app is an eBook and app platform for learning, teaching and training. The app provides:
- Snack sized chapters for easy learning
- Flashcards to memorize key concepts
- Simple and easy quizzes for self-assessment
wagmob_snap
Priced at INR 115 currently, the app has more than 5000 downloads. And to make the entire business proposition exciting, there are more than 400 such apps across fields.  There are a few apps which are free and a user can probably try them out to get a feel of the product and see if it suits their way of learning. But taking a broadder view, WAGmob has been able to identify the areas where peeople might be looking for help and has built apps around it.
Going B2B
Seeing the traction and gaining experience with learning apps, the co-founding duo started exploring possibilities. A chance meeting with Skip Miller, a Sales Training Guru gave them their Eureka moment and found a direction in the B2B space. They developed a product that was suitable for corporates to train their sales team on mobile. Gosalestrain is the training module which is a social, mobile and connected sales training community. Some advantages in this approach-
1) WAGmob doesn’t have to take the responsibility for content development
2) User acquisition becomes more focused since the focus is only on one particular thing- sales training
3) Scaling becomes more streamlined because once a module is ready for ‘sales’, the similar approach can be taken to expand into other areas
Skip also helped WAGmog get Google as a customer where about 250 sales employees are trained on the mobile platform. Charging $30 per user per month, WAGmob also has Microsoft, Samsung and Sony on their impressive client list. This has given WAGmob a very lucrative angle and their experience with B2C helped them to build something that would work in a B2B environment as well.
The Indore and family connection
WAGmob is unique because although the company is registered in the US, a majority of its 60 member team is based in Indore, India. Talking about the thought process, Kavita tells us, “It makes a lot of sense to have the company based in Indore because the cost of operation is significantly lesser and there is access to talent as well because of IIT, IIM, and other good colleges in the city.” Being away from the public eye has also helped WAGmob to quietly make their way ahead.
Another interesting aspect about WAGmob is that the entire family is involved in building the startup. Kavita, Kalpit and their son, all three are fully involved in the startup. They have bootstrapped till now and have been profitable but are looking to raise funds to scale up their sales and marketing team. WAGmob also showcased at the TechSparks 2014 (see all 30 companies) and is one of the promising technology companies being built from India.
