How we do it at work ;)

http://www.pagalguy.com/slog/

Of hiring and firing as we know it?

Want to know how Inzane Labs (PaGaLGuY.com’s Parent Co.) hires?

Check this out!

The blog post was written by Apurv who heads the Editorial Team at pagalguy.com ;)

The guy has lost it!

Scandalous images ahead! I was last seen in very compromising positions and was captured on film …. ;)

Images and pagalguy.com

I had to try this .. every time you refresh, a new set of images are seeked and the word pagalguy.com formed !

 

Of tags and life ;)

Ok, I don’t like getting tagged. But the trouble is when close friends tag and then follow up thru all forms of communication available, it needs to be done :) ;) !

I was tagged by Subbu and Puneet to mention 8 things about my prospective (?, mwahahahahah) life partner :o

So here goes nothing ! [insert evil grin]

1) There are days I can talk nonstop and there are days I would just prefer to keep quiet. I am rather extreme and hopefully she can handle that.

2) COOK FOOD. GOOD FOOD. NICE FOOD. TASTY FOOD. NICE FOOD. FOOD. FOOD. FOOD. I can’t emphasize it enough can i :p

3) The ability to understand each other in complete silence.

4) …

 I am realizing this is a futile exercise because I want can be summarized in a sentence or two.

She who doesn’t judge me and lets me be, me.

The rest all is manageable ;)

 

 

Signed up!

Its been an interesting couple of weeks here. I am looking to re-organize my companies, run them differently, setup a team in place, work ;)  and ofcourse there is an endless stream of people who keep asking me if I am going to Wharton. I think its a compliment that someone today even asks me whether I would goto Wharton because I assumed that a lot of people would just assume that I would go!

Truth be said, at this point I would like to head out to W, but I dont know the situation I would be in over the next couple of months. So hoping for the best and preparing for the worst is the name of the game. Finally, we have started hiring at pagalguy.com and are looking at crazy a$$ed individuals who can fulfil our specific needs, which by the way are rather simple ;)

1) Sustain your salary
2) Find a place within the company where you can deliver

Its not fair, right! But for a venture like ours, we need entrepreneurs all the way - within the organization, running the organization and yes, supporting the organization ;) . When I get asked for job openings, I just ask people whether they can sustain their salary and at the barest minimum generate as much value for the company. I am usually greeted by a blank look, but I am glad its not always the same. A part of the reason we require such people is so that they can handle individual processes and divisions alone and its not just another 9-5 job! Will I find more folks like I have? I don’t know - but I dont intend to stop looking. Not until I can fill my company up with crazy entrepreneurial spirited folks who can take it to the next level :)

On another front, I’ll be speaking at IIT Kanpur as I’ve been invited to speak at the Megabucks event. That should be an interesting experience! :D

I’d not allowed free commenting because I didn’t find a spam blocking or captcha tool that would work well for us. But now I have found a new service that allows for distributed spam filtering :p . www.akismet.com . Now to wait and watch how it works and yes, now you don’t need to register to comment on this blog :)

 Happy new year folks!! :)

Whartonite ? :P

This post comes from a guy with a 2nd class college degree, who came from a no-name college, average gmat, worked at not so well known companies, had no extracurriculars at college - but lived his life the way he knew best - flat out ;)

Look what he got a couple of days ago :D :D :D
