Of smartphones, energy and VC funded startups

Hi, I'm Manu Bharadwaj 1st year MBA (insist on not giving up the 1st year tag until second year truly gets underway :-)) and an international student from India. The title of the post kind of sums up what I expect to be doing this summer. I would be working on strategy for an Ann Arbor based next generation battery startup, Sakti3. It's kind of difficult to write without revealing too much especially when I'm still learning where the boundaries of proprietary information start. I'm pretty psyched up by this opportunity as it touches three domains I'm very passionate about - smartphones, VC funded startups and energy. Also as the company is at a stage of its development where they need to execute quickly there most probably will be very little time lag between planning and execution.

As I see it this internship can be the start of something truly amazing or...let's not even go there. And may be, that's what is most exciting about this internship. We will see how the story plays out ultimately. However, one thing is sure, will do all I can to make the story as exciting as the headline grabbing stuff Sakti3 has been coming up with in the short span of its existence.
