2 Entrepreneurs in a cloud

2 Entrepreneurs in a cloud

“Everything happens for a reason”. Many people have their own opinions on this statement, whether for or against. Meeting my business partner Kappy Prasad and building a cloud hosting solutions business has been one of the best learning curves and most personally rewarding experiences… And we’ve only just began the journey. In my own personal experience I do believe everything happens for a reason.  Kappy and I met at a mutual friend’s birthday in Sydney, beginning of 2014. We had an initial 20 minute conversation in a loud, noisy club where I was nodding and smiling politely as I couldn’t really hear exactly what Kappy was saying.  However, the bits that I did grasp wowed me.  Kappy had already built and established a small start-up business, whilst  working for Google.  Having worked previously for Apple myself, I have always had an increased fascination of the culture, values, and work ethics that are found in MNCs around the world – especially Google, IBM, and Cisco.  Within the 20 minutes of our first conversation, I felt that we had a mutual connection and common love for business.

So okay great! Kappy and I are going to start writing blogs, but we have one problem. Both of us Kappy more than I have strong Information Technology background, him being the awesome programmer and developer, and I having studied Information Systems with a hint of marketing. English literature isn’t really any of our strengths but the more we do it the better we’ll become (So please bear with us and our English capabilities, I promise they’ll get better). Great so how do we go about doing it? How long will it take us to write these blogs, what exactly can they do for us? Will people read them or think its rubbish?
