Startups revisited.

Long time back I wrote a post on startups. Recently a couple of friends left the company to do their own thing again. So I thought this was a good time to look back and see how everyone's doing [This is incomplete, will update this as and when i get info].

New ones:

http://www.apunkadialogue.com
- Amit was one of the most ambitious and talented fellows i have ever worked with. I could not make much out of the site, but what the heck, I don't understand any of the other Gen Y stuff either :)

http://www.s3edge.com - Started by a couple of my ex-colleagues Abhishek and Venkatesh. They were so thrilled by the by the product that we have built (Microsoft Biztalk RFID) that they left the company to build solutions on top of it :)!


Companies still running:

http://www.carwale.com - This is doing great and in fact BusinessWeek has recognized Arun as one of the top 25 entrepreneurs in the Asian continent (blog link) ! This is cool stuff !!

http://www.quillpad.com - Rampi and KS keep churning out something or the other and this turned out to be a huge hit for them. It is easily the best transliteration tool out there!

Companies no longer running:
