The Ten Commandments of a Start-Up

one year in a startup

  1. Thou shalt not be a part of the story but shall create the story
  2. Thou shalt learn, unlearn and learn again; each day, everyday
  3. Thou shalt not consider any work superior or inferior
  4. Thou shalt make friends with technology; the sooner, the better
  5. Seven days in a week  shalt thou labor, and do all thy work with a few fortunate breaks in between
  6. Thou shalt not expect bi-annual increments
  7. Thou shalt not covet thy friend’s house or her iPad or the Xbox for the first few years
  8. Thou shalt have the liberty to approach your Boss with the weirdest of ideas without feeling the least bit ashamed of them
  9. Thou shalt enjoy complete freedom over your work as long as they are in tune with the overall picture
  10. Thou shalt one day have all that and much more that thou ever dreamt of…

 

P.S:  These Ten Commandments were gradually revealed to me during my one year of professional life at DiscountPandit and its parent company Vavia Technologies. Today, as I complete one full year I would say it has really been a roller coaster ride with a lot of memorable twists to it! Thank you everybody for making this journey a worthwhile experience.
