Translated verbatim, the title means Beyond fear, lies success.
When we started conceptualizing and working on FindMyCarrots, getting things to work in India for Indian locations was more than a pipe dream. We started off with the success of one query here, a second there. In between, were umpteen grimaces. I remember a few occasions, when one of us had passed out on our laptop thinking why a query failed, woke up with splitting headache and attributed the cause of the headache to wrong understanding of a query by the FmC engine running inside us.
When we started working on the US launch a month back and gave ourselves a couple months to complete, we were apprehensive, again. We were scared to try getting US online in such a short time.
But deep inside, we believed we had the building blocks to achieve it. So, when we started aiming for the 2 month period, and achieved significant success in the first week itself, we became bold. We started to look at what lay ahead of the fear - support of US information on FmC, something that could have only been referred to as fantasy when we started. This is what is so interesting in building FmC 1 small piece at a time. It takes you over, completely, to the point of becoming the cause for your physical pain in your mind. But beyond that pain lies ecstasy and beyond that, perhaps, success!!
