WATBlog Panel Bangalore – Failure = Great Learning + Wisdom – (Pictures)

by | posted: January 24, 2009 8 comments


WATBlog Panel Bangalore was on “Lessons Learnt From Failure of Startups” and as serious as this topic is the panel turned out to a be heartfelt intense stories of difficult decisions that one has to take when things ‘dont work out’. For me as well it was a priviledge to hear some really frank and upfront talk by the panelists on their shortcomings and barriers during their journey and how can one overcome it. In short the panel had a common thread i.e. failure leaves you wiser and in some cases with a skill set that might be required to start your next million dollar business.

Check pictures below:

People are lost in the intense discussion

Panelists in a heartfelt revelation of their setbacks in the journey of entrepreneurship and how to learn from them and overcome them.

The panel gets interactive with questions and answers.

We want to thank each of the 170 odd people who were at the WATBlog Panel. I hope you had a great time and the dinner and mixer just added to the conversations. We would also like to thank our sponsors Sun Startups for sponsoring the event and also Proto.in for being our supporting partner.

    It was a great talk. Although in some sense it was frightening to hear the failure stories but I think a failure story can teach you more than a success stories. It is difficult to find why you succeeded, but easier to find why you failed. And congrats Rajiv for hosting the talk so well. You were really good there.
