In early 2006 I moved back from the US to start a restaurant review & listing startup called burrp!

While I had grown up in Ahmedabad, I relocated to Mumbai because that was our launch city for burrp!

I would travel to Ahmedabad on weekends to meet family. Barely a few days into my return from the US, I noticed the problem of pigeons. They were everywhere. On rooftops, ledges, outdoor air-conditioner units, cars, window grills, balconies (if you had that luxury in Mumbai :)). These rascals were everywhere.

A story on how I went from selling modems door to door to working as a software engineer in the US.

Time for a thread - It was 1997. I joined a company in Ahmedabad as a sales person to sell modems, browsers, and other assorted networking gear, including patch cables. I had a Luna (yes, the same one - ) and a backpack, and I went to GIDC in 45°C to sell stuff door to door.

@jessie_paul @akm1410 Here’s something which I think is a good example of cheap but authentic marketing. Year 2007 - burrp was virtually unheard of. We had been operating for over an year, a few foodie users knew about us but we didn’t have any mass appeal. Also the restaurants weren’t aware of burrp @jessie_paul @akm1410 So one day while sitting in a well known restaurant I was wondering what would it take to put up some branding on one of the walls of the restaurant. This was a fancier restaurants, and we were wondering if they’d let us put a burrp logo on one of their walls.

Thread on "taking a bet on your kid" #MothersDay
I grew up in Ahmedabad. My academic years were always a struggle. During school I could never wrap my head around subjects like Algebra, Chemistry, Biology etc. Basically, the subjects that could get you into the Science stream. While I ended up choosing Commerce, I used to spend most of my time outside of college working on DIY electrical and electronic projects, a hobby that I picked up during my school days. I also used to repair appliances to make some side income.
