1. Many founders in India found a "startup" just because they have money to capitalise it and nothing better to do. They have 0 tech skills and 0 management ability. The few startups that are doing well here are those founded by technical guys or people who've worked in a certain industry for a while and start a related venture.

2. Startups can't afford to train. They need programmers who'll hit the ground running.

3. Mostly because the startup scene here sucks; it's fucking comical I tell you. Join any indian startup forum and you'll know the story of how poor the quality of startups and their employees is. I leave you with an email I received recently from "OCC Bangalore" (google group for bangalore startups). Also, no offence intended to the few who really are running businesses worth running.

Dear All,

I need some tech help.

We need to call these php functions in our jsp files. We can use javascript I hope.

I searched alot on google and I found this: -- <script type="text/javascript"> function test(){ document.getElementById("php_code").innerHTML="<?php for($i=0; $i<10; $i++) echo $i; //maybe a function ?>"; } </script>

<a href="#" style="display:block; color:#000033; font-family:Tahoma; font-size:12px;" onclick="test(); return false;"> test </a> <span id="php_code"> </span> -- But doesnot seem to be working.

Some guys have suggested using this: jqSajax

Background: We are trying to use an existing opensource solution which provides APIs and the same can be used through java and php. We want to use the same through our jsp files. Now part of it we have been able to use through the java webservices they provide, but since they are opensource platform they have missed implementing some of the code in java which is available in php services.

Any ideas? Stuck now :(

Thanks a lot
