Hello All, I am a final year BE student. While most of my mates are sincerely searching for a spot in the corporates, me and two of my friends cherish a dream of creating a business for ourselves. We got something like a few website development offers and that has motivated us further. But we are not really going to stick to web development as such and want to get into customized application development and software deployment.
I recently saw a message in the "NCR Python Users Group India" discussing Data Mining tool for collecting data from Excel Documents and displaying them on web pages. I think these are some untapped areas of software deployment, at least here in India. So, now the questions in my mind are: 1. Can we really survive as a company creating application specific or customized software for situations like the one I have mentioned above? 2. Is there really market for such software and services in India? Kindly keep in mind FOSS. 3. If there is a possibility to survive. Are we going to be judged by the work we do or by the industry experience we have or supposed to have? (Remember I am still at college) 4. At last, how much are we going to be paid for these kind of jobs? Keeping in mind that depends on the quality of work we do and our ability to negotiate, I would like to know the scale where I would be starting. I request whoever reading this mail to give your views and ideas. P.S: If possible repost this mail in the mailing lists you prefer appropriate. I do not know anyone in the field of software or startup as of now. -- Regards P.Arunmozhi Twitter: @tecoholic Website: http://arunmozhi.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
