What are fashion brands' biggest pain points today? I leave this wide open. Take whatever angle you want and feel free to break it down by functional area. To what degree is 'a good edit' enough in ecommerce?  Nastygal and ModCloth are two examples that have done well because they have developed a clear point of view and curated a specific style for a specific demographic. This is what has driven their success . While they have some simple, nuanced additions to their online stores, it's pretty much just the curation that drives people to the store. Yet, with all of the new models emerging, it seems consumers are expecting more than just curation and looking for 'curation plus discount', 'curation plus content plus discount' , 'curation plus subscription', 'curation plus N factors'. What are interesting new ways to blend commerce and content? Business of Fashion just wrote this article on rap video meets ecommerce. There is a HUGE untapped territory leveraging content including video , text, imagery, etc... where it's a blended experience. What are some potential interesting permutations of this?What are trends in manufacturing ? With increasing costs in China, desires for Just-In-Time manufacturing to an extreme, campaigns around increasing US manufacturing , 3D manufacturing , etc... how will manufacturing evolve and what are the challenges associated with these shifts both on a macro and micro level.There seems to be a shift from people going to department stores  when they want to find something specifically, similar to Amazon in the online context. However, people tend to frequent vertically integrated stores like J. Crew, Banana Republic, Zara/H&M/Forever 21, etc... when they want to browse and discover. Also, people go to J. Crew because they have trust with the brand but also enough to discover. Though, a lot of the ones I mention also have a lot of physical stores and thus could be successful due to convenience as one factor. Yet, the latter does not seem to have an online-only comparison that's really taken off.  To what degree do you think this offline behavioral shift will translate online? Or in another way of saying, will we see more online-only vertically integrated models (e.g. J. Crew) become successful and commonplace online? What are the challenges or differences with this shift online? How can one effectively build a brand online? (follow up to previous) I know you wrote something previously on Brand Psychology, so as a following, how can a brand be build online (e.g. Bonobos, Warby Parker, Everlane, etc...) How large and sustainable is subscription ecommerce? Obviously,  you have a connection to Manpacks , and then JustFab today said they will be doing $100M in revenues by end of 2012. However, how sustainable is this given it is extremely challenging to maintain share of the consumer's wallet consistently and delight a customer every month. Which categories will be able to scale and achieve these levels better than others? Also, Shoedazzle's refocus might be a telling data point, so what do you think of that shift?If you want to start manufacturing a good, what is the best way to get started? I've had this conversation with a lot of people, and it is a cagey world with limited resources . I've been helping some folk but have limited actual experience in different component from concept to sample to batch production onward. So, what are different recipes and resources for early stage brand manufacturers : how to do production, how/where to qualify a manufacturer , quality control, etc... I can ask more questions if you like... I have an endless list , and with every answer brings up new questions. If you don't like any or need clarification, please lmk!  If you want to answer one of them, I'll go ahead and ask it.Oh, and I have opinions on all of them, so curious to hear your perspectives. Thus, if you write something on one of the aforementioned, it'll hopefully incite me to actually do some more writing (or rap/jam --as you like to call it--with you one of these topics)...

Well, this is an interesting question. There is not one, but dozens of apps that I can't live without. Here are a few apps that may blow your mind. I'm not mentioning app store, since Apple is such a pain in the ass. I love android over iOS, so here we go.PS some of them require root.Let's begin with entertainmentFildo (not available on Google Play, Root not required)This is basically the alternative for mp3skull which was taken down few years ago. This app let's you download songs. 90% of them are 320 kbps. I've downloaded both English and Hindi songs.NOTE: Its only good for downloading, please do not use the music player, its awful.Mobdro (Not available on Google Play, Root not required )Okay if there are any TV series fans out there. This app is for you. This app let's you watch any channel on the earth and that too LIVE. (Its not any actually but most of the channels that air our favorite American shows are visible.)Tired of torrents being blocked? Unable to download your favorite shows? Watch them live here.From The CW to CBS and ABC to Nat Geo. And from News Channels to Sports channels too. Watch the Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, Arrow, Flash, Agents of Shield, Suits, Westworld and thousands of other shows when you want to, because there's a record option too. Just set the time and you're good to go.Showbox ( Not available on Google Play, Root not required)Sick of torrents being blocked? And even if you bypass them, sick of typing so much? We'll here's an option for you guys. You can download movies and TV shows or even watch them online via this app. Various qualities from 360p to 1080p are available.It doesn't have Bollywood movies yet, but let's not stop hoping. For Bollywood movies try the app called Popcorn Time, not as good as Showbox, but better than nothing. There are other apps too, DM me if you wanna know them.Series Guide (Available on Google Play, Root not required)If there are people out there like me, who watch many shows and they can't keep track of what they watched and what is remaining, this app is for you. It is basically a calendar of TV shows. Keeps you posted.Note: Its backup option is awful, in case you reset your phone. There's an alternative TVshow Time. But I prefer Series Guide and it has a cool widget too.Let's stop the entertainment section now. How about daily driver apps.Ampere (available on Google Play, Root not required)This app basically helps you keep your phone battery healthy. It measures the current through which your phone is charging. Sometimes you see that phone takes too long to charge. So it's either your adapter or your cable, this app let's you find out, what's malfunctioning. Try a combo of various cables and adapters and the one which provides low output is the culprit.It keeps my phone and charger healthy by notifying. It has a cool widget too.PS download the pro version, that's ad free.Evernote (available on Google Play, Root not required)I'm sure everyone requires a note app as a daily driver. I recommend this one.Reason: It has immediate cloud storage. Its easy to use. And the main feature is it has chat and work share option. For those who are writers, you can write your drafts send them to your friends via work chat and they can edit it too. All in one app. Go for it.Inshorts (available on Google Play, Root not required)If you want to stay updated with the current news and affairs but you don't have enough time, this app is for you.As the name suggests, it has an algorithm that puts all news in front of you in short, that is in 60words precisely. If you wanna read it in details, swipe left, if you wanna read next, swipe up. Its the best user friendly news app.NTC Nike Training Centre (available on Google Play, Root not required)If you are a fitness freak and if you're not but want to be fit. This is the best app for you.From newbies to experts. From people who have no equipments to people who can gym everyday. This is the best app for being fit. Basically you enter your details and it'll make a workout plan specially for you.And you know what's the best thing? Its integrated to our music player, so you can listen to your favorite songs in your device from this very app itself.Var's VR Video player (available on Google Play, Root not required)If you love to watch 3d movies or VR 360 videos, this is the best app to do that. It can play all types of 3d and VR videos.Enough with the daily drivers, now let's go to photography and photo editing.OGInsta+ (not available on Google Play, Root not required)Tired of taking screenshots of the pics that you like on Instagram? Use this app to download them easily. It has a download option and zoomed images stay zoomed.Note: Do not use it for uploading picture, use the official Instagram app only. Because this app has poor sharing connectivity.500px (available on Google Play, Root not required)Remember the Official Wallpapers app by Google? Ever wondered where do they find such amazing pictures? Yes this is the place.This app is for photographers who are in love with amazing pictures. This is a platform for them to share them. Sadly you can't download pics, but the screenshot option is always there.Find amazing wallpapers for your phone here.Snapseed (available on Google Play, Root not required)I know y'all always want an app that would edit pictures the way you wish. With the demise of Google Picasa, Google brings to you another photo editor right in your phones.Snapseed is the best photo editor I've used. It has a variety of options and the user interface is very classic.And what's the best thing? It can edit RAW images too. Not every editor can do that. So guys with DSLR or phones capable of capturing RAWs, try Snapseed.Enough simple apps, I'll tell you some apps that turn your phone into a beast.With that being said, let's begin.Lucky Patcher (not available on Google Play, Root required)This app works without root also, but I suggest you to use it after root.What's so special?Well, you can modify and emulate apps. You can do free in app purchases in offline apps by enhancing them. You can also remove ads but I won't recommend that.Example: if you're playing Temple Run, you can buy coins for free. Don't waste a single penny.P S Do not use it on online server based games like War Robots, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale. You may get banned.Greenify (available on Google Play, Root required)Always frustrated about battery drain? Greenify will help you.What this app does is, it will monitor the apps that are using too much battery in background i.e. when not in use. You can select what apps you don't want to function in background and greenify makes sure that those apps don't start activity and drain your battery life. Hence you get more standby time.System app remover (available on Google Play, Root required)Always frustrated about the bloatware in your phone eating battery and RAM? Yes there's a way to remove those pre installed apps.System app remover will remove all bloatware in your phone. It has a recycle bin too.Note: Don't delete apps other than bloatware, if you do you may brick your phone or cause serious crashing. Don't say I never warned.Dolby Atmos and Arise Sound Mod (not available on Google Play, Root required, bootloader should be unlocked with a custom recovery installed)Ever heard of Dolby Atmos? Of course you have. And yes it is available on phone too. Make your phone a 3d surround device. Enjoy Dolby effect on your phone with enhanced audio output.Viper4arise is an equalizer that has many controls to play with. Also it gives you 5.1 surround sound on earphones. So you'll get a 5.1 system On The Go.Note: Dolby atmos has a lil echoing or stuttering effect, so don't panic. You always have the option to skip Dolby Atmos and go for Viper4arise mod. Do this only if you can correctly flash files with custom recovery. Don't say I dint warn :pOkay, I guess I've mentioned many apps. I hope you'll find at least one useful for yourself. There are many other apps and games that I haven't mentioned because I'm tired now lol.You can DM me to know about other cool apps and games and also for other stuff regarding android. I'll try my best to help.Don't follow me on Quora for more stuff. :pAnd don’t follow me on Instagram :p here Aakash Manuja Shashikant (@aksksky) • Instagram photos and videosCheers!

Google Trends!Google Trends is a public web facility of Google, based on Google Search, that shows how often a particular search term is entered relative to the total search volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages.Let's take an example of our favorite word 'IIT-JEE'. These are the statistics for last five years.Its shows, India is a country where we use IIT-JEE word more often than any part of the world (It's obvious).As you can see, there is a peak between 5th May 2013 to 11th May 2013 caused because IIT-JEE exam result declared on 7th May 2013.I like this Google product and I guess Chinese knows better how to use it effectively. (Search ‘Google Trends’ on ‘Google Trends’ for cross-check).

I won’t be naive on this, Normally I would have spilled out the argument that just having a good product is not enough, you need the audience to back it up, your users themselves are the biggest sales team that you can dream off. Think Apple here,Now DropBox is spectacular, it is one of the rare gems of modern world which does something it is meant to be so simply and effectively( Microsoft, yes I am taking a nasty dig at Windows here.)DropBox has a great user base, paid and free, offers 2Gb on each successfull sign up, has the referral scheme giving 500MB for free up till 18 Gb, DropBox has recently launched DropBox Paper as well to combat some other competitors in the market.All this sounds great for a Modern Tech Company with increasing revenue, there is this slight problem and it is that the competition they are facing is not just another silicon valley start up but an Internet Mammoth that has redefined and to a great extent started to control the world wide web and great part of our lives.3 or 4 yrs back, i wouldn’t have agreed to this question stating that Google is predominately in Search business with their limbs here and there,on the other hand-DropBox a dedicated cloud storage platform, but the way the entire Google EcoSystem has started to work is a charm.I run a windows (:() and a Mac and do not bother with MS Office or the Apple Equivalents as Google Docs does the work for me, (Though Google docs esp Sheets is yet to match the calibre of MS Excel but that’s a different discussion as it gets my work done.) Youtube tracks my video choices, Google Photos integrated with the Google Drive gives me an unlimited photo storage(Non HD Pics), Google Docs has my docs at one place, Evernote gets everything integrated with the Drive.Google Calendar matches and syncs everything as part of the whole Google Drive and one of the strongest Arsenals of Google Drive is that Gmail has Drive as it’s primary storage,Google Drive gets a search engine none other than Google’s.Keeping all of these factors in mind, I feel compelled to move completely over to Google Drive from DropBox.So Yes in my opinion Google Drive will WIN this battle against DropBox and people have already started to move to Google Drive from DropBox and sadly for DropBox they will continue to loose a major chunk of their users(Though majorly the free users) to Google until of course they come up with something life changing, mere tie up’s with Evernote/ One Drive etc will not help win them against Google.

This is like magic. Thank you. Finally a question made for me. I don't even need a belt to fit this question around my waist. First, I have some credentials. I've failed at 17 businesses. I've succeeded at a few. But failed at most. I've also run a $125 million venture capital firm and I'm currently invested in about 30 companies, many of which I advise or on the board, etc. Oh, one thing before I answer the question: the companies that NEVER call me are always the ones that are doing the best. I made lots of mistakes as a first time entrepreneur. In every possible way. And I see a lot of those mistakes repeated in companies I'm invested in. I keep telling myself to remember these. Maybe this answer will be a good way for me to remember. Note: these are MISTAKES. So they are like double negatives. A) START YOUR BUSINESS WHEN YOU ARE BROKE Don't start a company if you're broke. This is not the same as "having no money". If you are fine staying on the floor of a friend's house and living on nothing then you are not quite broke. You have food and shelter. But if you have kids and a wife and a mortgage, etc (the other extreme) don't go broke and start a business. When I started my first business, I stayed at my full time job for 18 MONTHS before I left to become CEO of my startup full-time. We had 12 employees by then and almost as many clients. In other words, I knew I could replace my salary and still pay my employees for at least six months even if everything went down hill. Which leads me to.... B) IF YOU ONLY HAVE MONEY TO LAST YOU SIX MONTHS THEN YOU ARE ALREADY OUT OF BUSINESS I was on the board of a company once and when I read the monthly financials I realized the burn (the monthly loss in cash) was such that we would run out of money in six months. I called the other board members. They hadn't even looked at the financials. I called the CEO. He said, "but we have six months!" This is really really important: if you have six months, IT IS ALREADY SIX MONTHS FROM NOW. What that means is: no matter what you do: you will not be able to raise the money, do the legal, find the customers, do the work, get paid, or whatever you need to do - in six months time. You are the walking dead and you don't know it. Here's what we did. I called an emergency board meeting. We explained the situation to the CEO. He refused to believe it. I called him separately and gave him ten different examples. He finally got it. We fired a lot of people to reduce the burn. Somehow it didn't reduce enough. We hired a bank. We went to all the usual players. Everyone said no about buying us. They all were waiting for us to die. And then they would scrape us up for nothing. Finally, someone bought us for a good amount 2x what we put in a few months ago. I don't know why did it. I just thank god they did. The CEO, who didn't even realize he was going to go broke, made $6 million and moved to another country. We officially sold the company the day before the company was going to run out of money. Six months after that first phone call to the day. C) SMOKE CRACK We have a cognitive bias to think that our own ideas are great ideas. It's hard to admit that they won't work. Profits are the purifier of a business. That's the best way you can tell you have a good idea. If people give you SO MUCH money that you have money left over. Revenues are the next bests thing after profits. And users are the next best thing after that. If you are having trouble with any of the above three and this situation lasts more than a few months then you are smoking crack. You have to come up with a better idea. This doesn't apply to biotech or scientific companies that need to raise a lot of money. But it applies to every other business. D) UNDER PROMISE AND OVER DELIVER Yes, this is a MISTAKE first-time entrepreneurs make. Your competition is over-promising. Here's what you can go wrong if you under-promise and over-deliver. First off, anyone who over-promises is going to win the business. They might do a bad job but possession is 9/10 the law. They have the client and they can do things to fix the relationship. Second, you might under promise and UNDER deliver. Then you're just a bad vendor and they will eventually switch to someone else. What's the solution? One thing: Over promise....and over deliver. Now you're amazing. And the client is there forever. E) DON'T COMMUNICATE Here's the magic rule: talk to a new customer every day for 100 days. It doesn't matter what you talk about. Just call them and say, "how's it going?" Some customers might look at this and say, "I don't want to hear from my vendor for 100 days in a rule." They are lying. They do. And they don't know it. This is often called, "following up". As soon as you meet a potential customer, have an entire system in place to follow up. As soon as you deliver a proposal, follow up, as soon as you deliver a product, follow up. Even when you are in the middle of completing a project, follow up. FOLLOW UP You call and just say, "I always want to make sure I'm doing my best for you. Is all ok?" And then listen. And then say good-bye so you don't waste their time. Do that and you have a client for life. Trust me trust me trust me. F) HIRING PEOPLE Most startups don't need to hire that many people. Like, don't hire a secretary. Or a head of HR. Or even a head of sales. If you're the CEO, then you are the head of sales, the project manager, the secretary, and the head of HR. Wait, in each case, until you absolutely overwhelmed before you start hiring people. Once you hire someone there is a world of S**& that you have to deal with. Personalities, fights, politics, disagreements, gossip, etc. And, the most basic - they might do a bad job. A worse job than you would do because you are the OWNER and they are not. By the way, being overwhelmed is a good thing. It means you have revenues, profits, or users. Then you are allowed to hire people. The best business I've ever started is when there was only one other person besides me. We started our first product for $2000. We sold eight months later for $10,000,000. We outsourced almost the entire business (by the way, the one bad thing about this is that Google wouldn't buy us because of this). It's not as good as it sounds. I'm an idiot and lost a good chunk of the money later. But at least I didn't hire anyone. G) CLEAR ROLES A lot of partnerships fail because there are no clear roles defined. Like, the two partners are "co-CEOs" so nobody knows who to talk to. This is BS. There have to be clear rules. I have a lot of examples. I'll give one I'm dealing with right now. These are the roles of the founders: one person is a scientist - he makes the product. one person is an accountant - he does the books one person is a good business guy and has been involved in startups - he makes the deals and finds partnerships one person is good at raising money - he raises money and I forget who is CEO. One of them. It doesn't matter. Each is the final world on what he is good at. You can even divide up equity equally according to categories like this (and so some people might fit into more than one category so they get more equity): - made product - raised money - made sales - manages people - had the idea That's a sample. Not every business is structured so neatly but many are. When I was in a business where we did not have clear rules over who made the final decision, it was a mess. We ended up selling that company but now NONE of the original partners speak to each other anymore. We got lucky we sold that one. H) DON'T TEST If you have a product idea, and you love it, and all your friends tell you its great, don't forget to test. Let's say your product is "protein water" - clear water that has zero calories and 30 grams of protein. BAM! Seems like an amazing idea. Put a Facebook ad up, with the design of the water bottle and say, "30g PROTEIN WATER". Simply see if people click. If noboody clicks, then you have a bad idea. If a lot of people click, then it's a great idea. This is one example. But this is a very important side-rule that most people don't believe: GOOD ENTREPRENEURS ARE RISK-ADVERSE Before you risk, test. Before you leave your job, have customers. Before you hire people, have money in the bank. Before you even create you product, test it. Smart people test. Smart people don't take risks. I) WORRYING ABOUT STUFF YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT Too many people think they have to hire lawyers and accountants and make a logo before they even start their company. Don't do BS stuff. Start your company, make your product, see if people want it, repeat. That's it. One company I don't think I even incorporated until they day before I sold it. Don't have too many meetings. Don't debate forever your list of values. Or your marketing slogan. If you make something people want, then the sale is easy, and you have a company. Period. No matter what your slogan is. So many people ask: but should we be an "S" Corp in Delaware. I don't care. It has nothing to do with how much money you will make. Believe in your product. Believe in helping your customers. Believe you can do it cheaply and always over-deliver and (repeating) HELP. Be risk-averse. Hold onto your money. I can throw some stuff in here about don't get bad investors but that's really a different topic. If you avoid all the mistakes above, then you will have a good shot at having a good business. Trust me on this. I've seen a thousand businesses. You will have a good one if you follow the above ideas (or I should say, avoid the above mistakes). Oh, one more. J) HAVE SEX WITH EMPLOYEES This is a really bad idea. Employees are there to help you get customers, deliver to customers, follow up with customers, and handle the running of your business. Once you start having sex with them, all sorts of bad things happen. I'm not even kidding here. You might fall in love with them. You might have to deal with legal stuff. Other employees might get upset. And once one employee gets upset, that "upset-ness" spreads like a disease. Whenever an employee gossips badly about you, you have to fire them or the disease spreads. This is what starts to happen once you start having sex with employees. I've seen great startups totally blow it because of this. Don't do it. ----- There's a lot of other things that can go wrong, but this is the top. For instance, did you know its important to have a great relationship with your landlord? How come? Because he has to approve if you sell your company. Because suddenly he has a new tenant. But this is a small thing. There are many small things. Running a business is hard. These are the top 10 out of 100 (or 1000) mistakes I have seen. Good luck. And, seriously, don't do what I would do.
