Vijay Anand, an Indian entrepreneur, passionate and driven by technologies related to the Mobile, VoIP, and Emerging Internet space, is quite passionate about the startup ecosystem and is involved heavily in the creation of vibrant communities here in India.

He is the Founder of Proto.in, the startup ecosystem body, and has been a driving force in being involved in community events such as Barcamp Chennai, Blogcamp, Wikicamp, Podworks, Open Coffee Club in Chennai and seeding such similar initiatives across the country.

This was one post I really could relate to.

The Knowledge Commission headed by Sam Pitroda has recommended setting up a stock exchange for small and new startup companies.

The startup scene in India is picking up steam. But still around 70-80% of startups are self financed. And capital is a big factor in helping the startups scale up and become a worthwhile business.

But this idea is not a new one. I remember Rajesh Jain’s Blog post on the subject that is dated December, 2006. So is it a workable idea. Or does it need some capital for its own success!?!
