A key take-aways of the session :-

Librarywala.com : if you haven't checked it out do see this online library model which charges you around 139 Rs for 3 books/month.

A few pointers for the panel discussion :-
Starting up a start-up during a recession would prepare you to survive for the rest of the good times.
Start-ups would be a good time to start up; cause anyways now people would be joining for Jobs rather than for money.
Guy Kawasaki's Rules for boot-starts in the time of recession.
Recession for start-ups is infact a Boom time :)
