In the office now

Here is another update from myself. Now we are moved into a new office. It's not fancy but sufficient for us. We are now a team of 6 people (including myself). As a startup it is always challenging to channel your energy and I must confess I got swayed a couple of times. You see it is very easy to succumb to common conventions and beliefs. In software world & especially in India, it is outsourcing. If you have a company in India and are working in the field of software development, chances are you are doing some kind of offshore software development work (in fact it is expected out of you). Sometimes it becomes hard to convince and explain people that you are doing product development. In past two-three months we thought of delving into outsourcing and starting a brand new business all together. But now I think everything is back on track and now we are moving in full swing.


Anyways team is really picking up and so far I am quite happy as to how things are shaping up. One good thing about hiring fresh engineers is that for them everything is new and are willing to learn without any prejuidice which I really like. Although you end up spending too much time with them explaining things but that's OK. I can only hope it will pay off in time to come.


We are also in the process of starting two new products. More about it will come in the coming days so keep on checking this space. Right now we are redesigning our Omega website. What we feel at this time is that the site is not easy to use and we want to address this issue. Furthermore I believe we are now ready to release Omega.MSSQL (it has been running in Beta for quite some time now) so the website relaunch will also include that as well.


That's it for now .... as they say in Chinese ... it's time to say 再见 or zài jiàn ... which means good bye ...
Cheers !!!
