Sounds like FUN!

Comment by Sarang Lakare on September 2, 2010 at 10:16pm: We may not have enough place for so many at Grubshup!

Comment by Santosh on August 31, 2010 at 6:03pm: Hi Atul, good point on retaining people. Unfortunately, there is nothing much you can do about employees who will leave you for bigger companies.

You need to find employees who will work with you for the love of doing a small company that has promise and is growing quickly. That is your best selling point. A company that is growing quickly also offers employees a unique opportunity to climb the ladder quickly!

Comment by Atul Joshi on August 31, 2010 at 2:52pm: Also - can you please have the discussion point as to how to retain people in running start up as you see in recent weeks, the companies like syntel,infosys,wipro and others are hiring in bulk (Dont know if they fire in bulk as well) and taking away the effort put by startup in builing the talent for their growth.. its actually killing the start up prematurely:)
