Aspiring to be an entrepreneur I am in this fascinating journey for just 6 months now and already thrilled. There are several personal challenges that we face as a women entrepreneur be it managing time between family, work and start-up or be it meeting out new people to start ventures. At the same time, there are technical challenges like identifying and learning new technologies, building the system with low cost open source platforms. In this talk I will share my experiences on how a e-commerce platform can be built leveraging the high-end technologies and will give insights into available open source technologies.
