Even if I am in the top 50 or 20 or 10, I am going for my plan B. The applications that we are developing are like any other commodity in the market where there is lot of variety among the products. And there are lots of buyers with different tastes. Take real estate for example. The judges disliking the house that I plan to sell doesn't mean that my house would not sell. The judges fixing a price for my house doesn't mean that my house is limited to that price. -Pavan.
