After a merger with a French company, Kurt Salmon needed a website that would rebrand the company as a large international organization. Monsoon worked with the Kurt Salmon team to implement a multi-lingual WordPress site.

Monsoon partnered with Sequence, a San Francisco design firm, to develop a Wordpress site for the inventor of DNS and Internet pioneer Nominum.

During a recent trip to India, Sandeep and Nirav got inspired to start ranting a little more publically about what they see is wrong with the Indian IT industry. We’re hoping to inspire some more quality and would love any feedback you have.

Like a 4-Hour Work Week or a 4-Hour Body, a 4-Hour Startup is a ludicrous concept. Unfortunately, a lot of the entrepreneurs we talk to seem to be approaching product development with this mentality.

The story is almost always the same:

“I just need an app that can do X and Y.” or ” I can sketch out what it should do and send that right over.” or “This product is simple; it shouldn’t take too long to develop, right?”

Wrong. Your product is your business. You don’t need to “just develop a quick app”; you need to nurture a product-based business, a process that requires commitment and time.

Simplicity and elegance are usually the result of patient iteration. If you’re looking for an easy path to success, Monsoon is probably the wrong partner for you.
