Once in a few centuries, comes along an original and creative idea that blows the universe away…an idea that can re-define the purpose of our existence in world. We all try hard to resist the change that will inevitably follow, but eventually we give in.
We have no such idea (yet)!!
However, we came up with a much simpler idea of setting up a Facebook group to get you a little more engrossed with 84ideas. In this group, you can:
1. Network with our current clients (and if you find it useful, you can network with our team members too!!)
2. Receive updates on startup and other events happening specifically around Hyderabad
3. Know the latest 84ideas news, updates, job openings.
Sounds good? Connect with us now on our facebook group .
Join us at ISB to attend the Barcamp on Technology entrepreneurship on 11th Oct . The event has an interesting lineup of sessions already. Do check out and register at-

Rewind to our posting on 22nd July…
It turned out that our excitement was not in vain…we came to know about some fascinating technologies while making this report (life can’t get better than this…we get to know new things in the field that we love and we get paid for it)
Since our last post about this project was highly secretive, you probably couldn’t get any idea what the basic business idea is…
So here is a little secret…
It is a digital movies portal…
And you’ll ask how is it different from bigflix.com or something similar? Well…ask our client about that…we’ll definitely get sued if we speak anymore 
We provided a comprehensive report on technology & infrastructure needed, market analysis, , vendor analysis and cost of technology and IT implementation of the project. Check out the index of the report attached with this post.
