Our latest talk has been a real mixed bag. I mean this in 2 ways. Not only did we have a welcome mix of eager attendees from backgrounds as varied as Life Science majors and Programmers, and nationalities across the Asian continent, we were also lucky to have insights across a broad spectrum of the entrepreneurial experience. Zaki, our speaker, showcased enthusiasm that obscured the ardous journey of a dot-com entrepreneur through good times and the recession.

The points were few, but succinct. While emphasizing the importance of hiring the very best talent that one can afford, he also made clear that advice can come in all forms, and regardless of whether its praise or criticism, a budding entrepreneur shouldn’t take either of them to heart too closely.

The gaming industry is one which has potential beyond what one can imagine. Console games, PC games, casual browser games and now mobile games. The platform for games may evolve constantly, but gaming startups can look upon these with optimism, for they represent a future that is bright and exciting.

Thanks for the support everyone. Till next time, keep the passion burning.
