I made a toxic comment about my country here.

Perhaps this is something on a positive note. Even the website is done well and looks modern. Somebody out there is thinking. Thumbs up to everyone who gets in (and I hope I do too).

Hat tip to the designer who put the facebook and youtube icons next to each other. f You?

I am not able to save my profile!!!

It keeps on prompting to provide "my new password and confirm password" when trying to update the profile.

neilxdsouza5• 13 years ago

It worked for me. They do a force password change as the first action when you log in.

vignesh_vs_in4• 13 years ago

I have changed the password already, and i didnt use fb or Ln ids to register. May be its specific to registration through email.

I am not able to change my profile yet.

Really?, Downvoted for stating a problem?

Having started the video I was getting a big smile until I realised it was in India :-( Nice initiative nevertheless, just with it was in Eastern Europe.

Same here... (Western Europe though)

moubarak• 13 years ago

Was anyone else expecting a 500 Startups parody?

drtse4• 13 years ago

Let's hope those startups find their mojo...

jordan_clark• 13 years ago

Yes

I cant believe this has only 18 upvotes when the Meetup Delhi and Bangalore items have a lot more. I would never have known about this program if it was not posted on HN. Thanks Brajeshwar. And I will be posting comments on the other 2 topics to upvote this.

Are they expecting working prototypes? Is there any period for developing it and then submitting ?

neilxdsouza5• 13 years ago

Timeline says you can submit your application from 5-apr-2013 to 30-apr-2013. I dont think they have an expectation of a working prototype from what I've read on the various pages. Independently, I met an angel investment group head, and their expectation was just a business idea. So I think the expectation for Indian startups is a lot lower, at least in this 1st batch.

kumarharsh• 13 years ago

in the form, they ask you specifically at what stage the startup is at, so it seems they would be looking at all startup submissions... Though of course, if you have a prototype it would not hurt... :)

Are they importing mentors, angel investors, and a support system to India? How can you teach "how to fail" somewhere where failure is very much taboo?
