Startup experience

First of all Happy New Year to all and hope you keep your new year resolutions intact over the coming year. 

One of the good news which I wanted to share is that I recently joined a start-up company based in Gandhinagar, India. The name of the company is Playpower Labs and is an educational gaming company.  It has been stated by my dear friend Kishan Patel and I hopped on as an intern in the team to understand the craze behind the startups and help him out. And I must admit, i m having an awesome time till now.

Currently, I am wearing many hats in the company but one of my major role is as a developer to make games using ActionScript. ActionScript is an awesome language and I love coding in it. Among other duties, I sometimes fill water to say the least :P 

But really you can learn loads if you work in a startup. The whole process of establishing yourself as a company, secure funding, making contacts in industry, launching products, managing people, and working very hard while having fun are some parts which happen in a company. 

So, its gonna be some exciting time ahead with this new startup and hopefully Playpower Labs will be the best among all the other gaming companies in future.
