Top Indian web startups

Disclaimer: This list contains some of our team's projects

Sites that are useful and usable
  1. erail.in - created by a single person and serves useful to quickly find availability in Indian trains
  2. ClearTrip - seems to be inspired by many other sites like Vayama, but able to get better UI
  3. RediffMail - speed is the big boost
  4. Myntra - good idea, but poor UI
  5. redBus - good idea, but poor UI and execution
  6. Sites from The Times Group are also of good idea, but poorly executed/architected. They clearly try and target the web startup "gap"

Sites that are innovative (world's first/never seen before kind)
  1. SocialAV - World's first and only antivirus building community (by our team)
  2. CSSilize - World's first and only project management tool for slicing works (by our team)
  3. jobreapr - World's first and only fixed price job search engine (by our team)

In Mozilla Firefox, it can be set via View -> Character Encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8) Another elegant solution might be changing the phpMyAdmin configurations so that it send...

Zac Brown Band rocks...

When I was doing UG, my super-senior friend Ronald introduced me to MLTR and I was totally taken away by the music then. About 15-years later, I'm feeling same ecstasy when listening to Zac Brown Band 's Whatever It Is and Highway 20 Ride . The voice and music are amazingly cool.
