Posted on May 11, 2018 by gcmouli

(img src – taken by me – Shotang Demo Day) There are two slightly controversial topics that I hold dear to me, when I think of PM-ing. (1) Stake holder management – internal and external. I have written about this extensively in the past. Some folks think that it is a project/program managers job. But…

Posted on March 17, 2018 by gcmouli

Disclaimer: Most of what I talk about below – are my observations from Southern parts of India, and might not be applicable to Northern parts, which I am not very familiar with. Lalithaa Jewellery seems to have introduced a mobile jewellery shop in the form of a modified long chassis bus. I think this is…

Map trace by mobile

Posted on October 25, 2015 by gcmouli

I have been thinking about this for a while. And yes, this is one of my dream product posts – there might be hints of technology possibility inside, but no means an algorithm. I will spell out a couple of use cases first. Use case1: I hail an uber from home. The pickup location is…

The Supermarket experience

Posted on August 31, 2015 by gcmouli

Ever since the online grocery guys came into the picture (read as bigbasket in our home), one recurrent topic at my place has been – “would we miss the supermarket experience?” Some common points that would typically come up were: It was a nice once a month outing that we may probably miss out on….

IoT in the Kitchen?

Posted on July 7, 2015 by gcmouli

This idea just struck me today evening. This is in close heels to the IoT usage with the gas cylinder post that I had done a few weeks ago. Problem to be solved: Get an accurate state of groceries that is stocked in the kitchen and potentially order them (online?). This is a very common…

UX review of Instamojo website – part 2

Posted on July 7, 2015 by gcmouli

Creating a payment link (continued) After you have dragged and dropped the digital goods, it would be nice if you could say that, upload would happen later.

UX review of Instamojo website – part 1

Posted on July 7, 2015July 7, 2015 by gcmouli

I recently tried signing up with Instamojo and gave it a spin. Instamojo is a pretty cool payment related startup. Their moto is to democratize payments.

Posted on June 25, 2015November 19, 2015 by gcmouli

There were serviced apartments that started popping up in cities like Bangalore a few years back. These were good alternatives to expensive full service hotels. A lot of frequent IT travelers liked these service apartments, because they were really good quality rooms, and they were inexpensive because they were no-frills. No service. Mostly no restaurants…

Hyperlocal for daily milk?

Posted on June 21, 2015 by gcmouli
