Three words for entrepreneurs – Dorai Thodla, CEO, iMorph Inc.

Idea, implementation, and market. These are the three most important words for new entrepreneurs, according to Dorai Thodla, CEO, iMorph Inc. “These are fairly straight forward for anybody who comes from the tech community,” he adds.

• Idea – Almost everything in life starts with an idea. Start with an idea, like I am going to build this. Why did I get this idea? Because I saw so many of these problems. So, I am going to solve this problem. And, this is the way I am going to solve this problem. Nobody else is solving the problem in this way.
• Implementation – The idea is useless without implementation. Implementation is what proves to the world that you are serious, that you can really solve the problem, and validate your idea.
• Market – If you have a great idea, and you have fantastic implementation, but if there is no market need for it, it’s going to be very useless.
