Rashmi Sinha – the person behind Slide Share
I sometimes write about personalities that I share some connections or relevance and someone I find interesting enough about. This time my choice is Rashmi Sinha, the person behind slideshare.
Slideshare allows you to upload and share your PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Adobe PDF Portfolios on SlideShare. You can share the document publicly or privately. You can also add audio to make a webinar.
I just checked the Alexa ranking of slideshare and I was amazed by its popularity. Its three month average ranking is 516 and it is improving. Obviously it deserves some attention. If you have not explored slideshare you may like to do it now.
According to the Slideshare website, Rashmi manages the design and community for SlideShare. She has earlier worked for companies like eBay, iFilm, AAA and Blue Shield. She lead the team that created MindCanvas, a rich online survey platform for designers. MindCanvas has been used by companies like Microsoft, CitiBank, Expedia and Yahoo.
Rasmi Sinha has a PhD in Psychology from Brown University. However, she has been more active in creating new things. You can find Rashmi Sinha’s blogs at www.rashmisinha.com. And I just happen to be reading her latest blog – “Why VCs don’t invest in women led startups – my perspective”. I think that her idea behind the venture is given more importance than the women or men issue. But I liked her next blog more informative, and, if you are into a new start up you must read it Why I Dont Worry about competition. Just found that competition is misspelled in her blog, but, I am not complaining. Do not assess this article by minor spelling and focus on the essence of the article. Instead of worrying about competition, focus on how to execute your goal efficiently and properly.
As far as my association with Rashmi Sinha is concerned, we belong to the same city of origin. I look forward to my association with her in professional spheres.
Write to her if you are interested in partnerships, advertising etc. She can be reached at rashmi@slideshare.com
