Hope they will do well. We are laughing a new website for global Indian community -- http://www.desiroom.com. Before the year end, we will come out with the new layout. If Sulekha got $10M, what would that be for us...owning several social network communities. That is good for Sulekha. Hope they will do well.

It has been operational since 1996. Couldn't compete and raise VC capital or get acquired during 1998-2000. Still, admirable that they lasted that long. Problem is wrong DNA. Good luck to NVP and Sulekha! Sulekha was NOT founded in 2001. It has been operational since 1996. Couldn’t compete and raise VC capital or get acquired during 1998-2000.

If they get $10 mil of funding, i would say that VC's need to focus more on ideas than contacts.

The BIGGEST difference you will see is the focus on user experience and design. We strongly believe that the new generation of user friendly Indian consumer web services will beat the current ones which are terrible in user experience and have more ads than content on their pages.

The employee pool and the founder pool must have already been diluted beyond recognition. Honestly, looks more like an Indian investing back in India because he have emotional ties with the country. This is my personal take and is expressed here in the lighter vein. Well, then what are they left with? The employee pool and the founder pool must have already been diluted beyond recognition.
