Thanks. I will definitely consider the advises provided by people here.
I recently saw a video from '96-'97 where Steve Jobs said something like "start with a product which you can sell and then create technology, do not create technology and then try to sell, as it doesn't work this way". Can tell from my personal experience, that was brilliant advise.
Sit back and relax and find ways to draw your business plan and you can do wonders...

You're 15 years too late. Look at the way Rackspace is going.
If you are planning to do it alone, it will very difficult to manage all things.
The fact that OP is willing to listen to people here on LET means -
the end is nigh on this one.
Start as a one-man show.
"Once you have cashflow, offload certain business tasks to pros who can do it better and cheaper than attempting it yourself. Hire when you have sufficient cashflow + cushion." (this is a quote from a Solo founder)
Don't let some negativity slow you down. remember we are your future competitors so take our advice with a grain of salt.
Good luck on the path.
