Beginning and end of dreams.
In year 2005, With the idea of doing business ,I ended up selecting this name “Aanish Services” later “Aanish” for my start-up. Friends with different expertise and places collaborated together and journey begins. The domain was initially registered in year 2006. We together provided solutions:
- Java and Visual Basic based desktop application development
- PHP , ASP, Python based website and web application development
- Web hosting and Domain registration services
- Computer and Printer Repairing , Network installation , Server setup and AMC
- Computer Training
The journey successfully continued till end of year 2007 and operations was completely closed by mid of year 2008.
As a freelance software developer, I worked to deliver multiple project which includes 20+ websites, 12 web application and 2 desktop application for telecom, industrial auction, travel & hospitality, schools and colleges, retail business like grocery store, fertilizer store.
Although the journey ends and we all parted away with individual career path. This small it gives each team member a very good practical experience and helped all of us survive our struggle days. it helped each one to become financially independent from their family.
Critical Learnings:
- Business is full time job. It demands commitment. You must face challenges, learn, adapt and grow. It cannot be done along with second job in hand.
- Financial inflow and outflow should be correctly handled.
- Resource planning, Risk management, Contingency planning, Legal and Market fluctuation should be considered before bidding for a project. Do not quote randomly without proper analysis.
- Innovation and resource upgradation as per market trend and business flow is important.
- Never hesitate in taking advice from expert and real-life experienced people.
- Work responsibilities should be divided. Healthy & clear communication between partners is important.
Conclusion:
Burry the past. Do not stuck with it. Move ahead and never repeat mistakes.
Fresh start, fresh targets, new adventure, new experience, and new mistakes and never-ending learnings.
