No, I’m not hanging up the boots. Just polishing it again for a yet another trek.<\/p>\n

On one side, I was having way too much fun talking<\/a> to young entrepreneurs, speaking<\/a> at events, giving gyaan, moderating<\/a> panels, doing Friday sessions \u00a0at Leela, etc etc. Then I was getting rusted. The brain was getting claustrophobic, not getting into action. Hence decided to take the plunge again. I wanted to come out and write some code, do a few apps here and there, before figuring out what to do next.<\/p>\n

\"boots\"<\/a>It has been an awesome ride at Morpheus<\/a>. We recently did the 2nd demo day<\/a> (and the 1st Open Gurukul<\/a>) at Bangalore, which was attended by 35 investors and 100+ entrepreneurs. Unforgettable, how the 2 years quickly passed. Portfolio swelled to 33, companies got funded<\/a>, another half-a-dozen raised subsequent angel rounds (a lot of them not disclosed, yet). Even chased chickens<\/a> at the Morpheus Gurukul last year.<\/p>\n

Sameer<\/a> (@guglanisam<\/a>) & Nandini<\/a> (@nandinih<\/a>)\u00a0are doing an awesome job, keeping the baton while I move on. I’ll be around in a limited professional capacity at Morpheus.<\/p>\n

So It begins again for me. What I’m doing next? Honestly, dunno 100%. I have some ideas what to do next, but don’t ask Jyoti (my wife), she knows what should I do next!<\/p>\n

If you are an entrepreneur and if I have ever bought you a tea\/coffee, c’mon pay me back with a beer now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This blog post was not suppose to happen for another 15-20 days, but the news of the transition got picked up by VCCircle<\/a>\/Techcircle.<\/em><\/p>\n
