Some Successes and lots of challenges ahead
New year 2010 started with some great news for CK. As expected our new server was working fine and website was up 24*7 but the best news came from WagonR smart idea contest where we won city final (Jaipur) after competing with hundreds of ideas and invited for zonal finals in Mumbai. Most important thing for us was that we didn’t won because not only of public votes but of “idea” only. Hemant (Co-founder, CollegeKhabar) went for investment pitch joined by Naveen for Q&A session. Entire event was a great learning for us. Venture Capitalists (VCs) & Indian Angel Network at event suggest as very valuable input for entire idea and support to develop much stronger B-plan. Entire contest was covered by CNBC TV18
College Khabar too selected for Regional finals of “Vulture’s Nest”- Biggest B-Plan competition in Asia by IIT Bombay. CK was also online media partner for the event. We didn’t qualify for finals but got our lessons for improvements.
