These are companies that are still grappling with the question of how to make money off a business – a question that probably was never asked in the thousands of years business existed – simply because business came with a monetization model. It is not about the numbers as bragged about by the Facebooks and Twitters but the value the users bring to the company. LinkedIn is a great example. And so are Indian companies like Zoho which have great potential looking into the future.

Moreover, internet is one space where innovation is possible ensuring better profits, if the idea is different from the scores of the other web based portals.. balakrishnan is right. management grads can't understand the technical differences to brought in their web venture.. its only a computer scinece grad, who ultimately venture into bpos or MNCs losing out on their core competency.. its their tech innovative mind Well if i guess what is required today is a computer science grad with some knowledge of managment for such a billion dollar company to arise..
