We’re at a new location in Mumbai!

One97 has a new address in the financial hub of the world. We’ve moved near the airport, making accessibility easier and efficient for all.
The new office was inaugurated on 18th Feb 2012. The opening ceremony started with “Ganesh & Stayanarayan Pooja”. Balloons, Rangoli and flowers made the office look stunning.

The office is a 125 seater with state-of-the-art amenities. Terrace cafeteria facing the airport runway is an interesting break-out area to chill and refresh.

One97 is once again poised to zoom ahead and take off to new heights.

How to Reach?
Drive inside airport road and take left from Terminal 1B road and drive another 300 M.

One97 is ‘hottest internet company of the year’


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.

Top iPhone app for people like me

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
