It is a long story, but here is the short from my perspective. I left after a year and made the mistake of spending two years building an audio-video dating app. Poor men’s FaceTime-ish tech, but the business failed. However, I sold/transferred the tech to an investor.

When we released its beta, early users were happy with the new-age design and one of the best user experiences in a web app for India. Later, I heard MoneyControl sued Paisa.com (I’d consider that a success).

The Paisa team went on to become Helpshift.com. One of the founders became an investor, and another is now the co-founder of teamohana.com. Another key member started his own Startup, later acquired by GoJek.

And a lot of stories in between. It all started in 2007-2008 when I started in a spare attic in my erstwhile boss’s office and assembled a small but brilliant team. I retained that Startup’s domain for a long time and sold it this year. I need to write about all of this one day. A few publications have written strange stories about it, and I’ve not been interested enough.

Now, I’m doing things with Satellite and stuff for Climate and the like.
