One97 has been awarded as one of the ‘hottest internet companies of the year’ by Young Turks; Premier Edition.
It recognizes the achievements of India’s young entrepreneurs, those who have built their businesses from scratch.
We’d like to thank the team of Young Turks for this recognition!
To capture the opportunity thrown up by the internet economy, Young Turks spent a better part of 2011 showcasing emerging Indian internet cos. Just a handful of young turks brought in funds over 230 million dollars from VCs and PEs in the year. So 2011 clearly was the year of the internet economy.
The event was held at the Mercedes Benz’s world class pavilion atAuto Expo, Pragati Maidan on Jan 6th.

Finally I moved from my Blackberry Bold to iPhone, completely. Now my stand by (second) device is also an iPhone.
The apps on iOS and beautiful screen made an unparalleled combination for me. I am hoping for a Windows Mobile or an Android device as standby, soon.
Here is my list of iPhone apps that make my day great !
1. iCloud Synced Notes & EverNote : I love typing on a yellow page BG with special fint of native notes app. iCloud sync makes them available on my MacBookAir anytime.
Except that I had been using Evernote, I am not using ever note to create new notes.
2. Twitter & Tweetbot : I love Tweetbot design and gestures. Absolutely amazing twitter app. Lately Twitter “Interaction” feature giving view of who followed, retweeted me. This feature is yet in 3rd party apps for this I use native twitter clint. Must say: Native clint is 60:40 in term of design and usability.
3. Flipboard, Pulse and Zite: All three on iPhone create a little niche different experience.
I use Flipboard to discover what article are people sharing, Zite to tell me what should I read (when not reading Techmeme.com). Pulse is very rarely used : probably it’s not so great UI.
4. ReadItLater: I mostly buy new books and rarely get chance to read them. Similarly Here via many apps I keep collecting articles in readitLater. Hope that Later arrives soon. : )
5. TuneinRadio: Now this one is my default new music app. So many blues and country music stations along with far and wide local radio stations. Absolutely fantastic escape from junk/no local radio.
Specially when we yet dont have Spotify or clones in India.
6. Pixable: Facebook’s tough and tougher filers have pushed me to this app to see photos and videos shared on FB by my friends. Pretty neat.
7. DropBox: This is smartphone era’s flash drive. Put your files in Dropbox and they are anywhere.
More later. Gotta go in a meeting ! : )
Cheers

Saas and Bahu serials made me sick and watching cartoon again and again was not a choice. When you have a family and limited choices on TV, all you turn to is the internet. That’s what I used to do, Facebook or some news sites were my major source of entertainment, and discovering videos were limited to some shared stuff on facebook or jumping onto Youtube to find something interesting, but it was not that easy.
There is a plethora of videos shared and uploaded eveyday, with loads of junk and low quality stuff, so finding the right one was a pain and that’s when the ticking began. When news and articles can be curated, then why can’t videos be as well. Hence, VideoPind was born, in my desperation to find good quality videos and that too on various subjects. I jumped upto Vijay seeking his view, only to find the same frustation at his end as well. Finding a common ground, we built up our debate and we soon realised that perhaps the answer could be in curation and channelization of videos available on the web. We began out first stint on the prototyping of VideoPind (Called push video that time). We started with an app on the blackberry, since we are the blackberry boys, but we soon realized that the best platform is actually iPad and iPhone – we began by building a prototype on the iPad and by the first look of it we loved it. (Don’t worry we will have a app for BB also soon!)
Giving ourselves just three months time we leaped in and then three months down the line we had a beautiful product in our hands, working for both iPhone and iPad (Android came in a little later) and we were ready to test launch it. It was finally submitted to the iTunes store and launched within a week and a month later the Android app also got live.
So here we are with the first version of the app ready to be played around with, loved, used and abused. With our primary focus on curation engine and a neat and interactive experience, we have launched this version, but what’s in store in the next version is something you must look forward to, it will really blow you away and experiencing videos will never be the same again.
Until then, enjoy what’s in store now.
Cheers
Rahul
