		<description>Deepika and Arvind: Thank you.

SD: First, wish you the very best with your new venture. In terms of timelines, it is all over the place. My opinion is that it takes anywhere between 18 to 24 months for a startup to gain momentum. By that time, the startup would also have figured out what is it that they &quot;offer to the marketplace&quot;.

Cheers,
Raj</description>

		<description>Had seen this blog earlier, lost track and found it again and bookmarked it this time. Nice blog.
I&#039;m working in a startup, and the timespan you&#039;ve put up in the diagram seems a little too short (and that too, the MD&#039;s have worldwide contacts). Is it really that way for the startups you&#039;re involved in? Can a startup really make that much profit and progress (in case the people don&#039;t have good contacts in the industry? then?)</description>

		<description>Hi Rajesh,
