Tastebuds in the Cloud

Preface : There are just so many awesome and ground breaking business ventures around us that we couldn't have imagined 10 years back, but today, they have totally transformed consumer market. Business has always been about 'Demand & Supply', and business model is everything between the 'Demand & Supply', its all about connecting the dots.
