The takeaway from this post shluod be :Instant noodles are much quicker to make,easier to throw away, contain just enoughnutrition to help us make it to the next pack.There is a serious issue with Indian investorsand long gestation products. I define long as just 2 or 3 years. I also agree that apersonal investment from a wealthy ex techentrepreneur is the best way forward for thoseseeking investments in this space.In the end, you need to track some metric thatmakes sense for your business.If the metric is not showing an uptrend, thenthere needs to be a plan to push it upwards.My previous favorite metric was countingdownloads, my current is number of searchesby our product names. I think constantlyiterating the process of improvement andmeasurement will lead to a winner or a clearlyvisible exit sign.It goes without saying that if you want toplay the long gestation' game, you need tobe prepared to duke it out.
