Startup Journey

I have written this book after dedicating 16 years to software development. My career began in service-based companies where I worked for 6 years before transitioning to startups. Throughout my career I have been associated with two startups. The first was Jabong an online shopping platform where I spent 3.5 years. The second was Droom an automobile e-commerce platform where I worked for 7.5 years. In the initial phase I had to familiarize myself with the concept of a product and encountered terms like MVP (Minimal Viable Product) POC (Proof of Concept) product priorities business requirements product development deployment monitoring and more. Typically startups hire product managers or software engineers from campuses often with a limited number of senior resources. In the second startup I was one of those senior resources. It became my responsibility to provide an overview of the product the product development process and all the related definitions to newly hired engineers and product managers. I dedicate this book to all startup owners founders software engineers and product managers who embark on their career journey with startups after completing their degrees. When I witness young individuals and mid-career professionals struggling to find guidance I am reminded of my own early days. That is why I decided to write this book which can serve as a guiding light for all my brothers and sisters in the field of product development. “STARTUP JOURNEY” can be an instrumental resource for startup owners founders and anyone involved in the product development process. It empowers you to effectively guide your team in building growing and scaling a product step by step. If you are pursuing or have completed your BCA MCA B.Tech or MBA “STARTUP JOURNEY” can be your trusted companion. It also serves as a technical guide providing you with a painless introduction to product development from scratch. This book will inspire product managers to think like technical product managers and provide software engineers with clarity on their doubts regarding product development. You will gain a deep understanding of how to build a successful product which is the primary objective of this book. Technical knowledge and a thorough understanding of product development are like the two reins of a startup horse. I am confident that after reading this book you will be equipped with everything you need to excel in this field.
