The entrepreneurship Development Cell of DG Vaishnav college conducted an orientation programme on internet entrepreneurship today.
B Shrinivas, a management consultant with two -decade experience and a successful internet entrepreneur shared his personal success story of starting his software company — PPP Infotech ltd.
He took the students through a history lesson on the beginnings of internet usage in India and it growth.
He based the orientation session completely on how to look for opportunities to exploit the internet to make money.
Talking on ‘ How and Why Information is a commodity? He presented his own story of how he made clocks using the Tamil numericals, and how he had used internet to sell his product.
He said, “ I just don’t sell a clock to keep time, Together with it I am also selling the literature, which explains the philosophy, science, math and heritage behind each Tamil numerical, which I am sure will give the person buying the product a sense of possessing a piece of history.”
To prove his point, “Small changes in the existing business is the way forward’ He said, “Clocks have always been there; now with a small change like Tamil numericals, I even managed to sell about 500 clocks to the Swiss from the clock country.”
He said, “ It is a small idea, a new concept that changes everything. Keeping coming up with something new, being your boss is all about innovating, I guess it is a much better idea than working for someone.”
He also spoke about e-content generation and its potential. Around 50 students participated in the session.
