I think we are carried away by what is happening in Silicon Valley too much and think of ideas which are attractive to us, the Geeks, and assume that will also be welcomed with open arms in India. While there are some who will appreciate the idea, it is pretty difficult to say that we can generate a certain volume (millions or billions of users) which is generated by a silicon valley company. Ideas are never invalid only the timing in which we play in an existing market is. Tablets were not a craze when Apple's Newton was launched but they are a craze now. I believe playing in a market where where an existing product or a set of products are not able to solve an obvious problem will certainly garner interest of investors as well as customers. I also believe if I am unable to get atleast five paying customers to see eye-to-eye in what I do, then I need to pivot to what they want.
