Shareathing!

Shareathing is a new business venture I've recently started with Ajay - my college pal. This marks my entry into the start-up scene. Shareathing is an online market for buying and selling shares in things. People can use Shareathing to look for shares in things they'd like to co-own with others, sell shares they already own, or create fresh sharing ideas. Sharing is not a new concept - we've shared the ownership of things for centuries - but Shareathing aims to create a platform for sharing which is always open, easy to access, and simple to use. 

Shareathing can be used to share anything (within legal boundaries of course). Just like you can buy shares in companies in the stock exchange, Shareathing aims to create a market where you can buy and sell shares in expensive things like Real Estate, Yachts, Boats, Aircraft, or in everyday things like DIY tools, online memberships, books & journals etc. There's hundreds of things you could share. 

Personally, Shareathing is a wonderful challenge. A challenge to find out if I can give the world a product that it can use. To be very honest, I don't expect to make millions from it even if I hope I can. At the same time, I am very, very serious about giving it all I've got. As I write this, it has been about six months since I started on the journey, and while I've not earned a single dollar from it, I can already say I'm enjoying every bit of it. I am enjoying making decisions which have a direct impact on the product I am trying to build. I am enjoying the experience of setting up a business from scratch. I am enjoying the daily challenges the journey brings. Most of all, I am enjoying having something to look forward to. Something outside of my 9-5 day job, something outside of my ghar-biwi-baccha. My life, as they say, is full!
