Got an offer from TechCrunch!
Suddenly things are starting to move much faster for this blog. What started as a hobby has now become a decent blog for Indian Startups. Thanks to the readers for actively supporting me and the different startups that I have profiled so far for politely listening to whatever I wrote. Today, I received an email from the TechCrunch team asking me if I could blog for their to-be launched Indian version in.techcrunch.com. I was so surprised that I had to confirm if it was really from TechCrunch and apparently Yes it is!
TechCrunch brand should definitely help me to cover a far greater audience and I am eagerly looking for this.
Sadly, what this means is that only posts which gets rejected by the TechCrunch team can be posted elsewhere, including my personal blog. What is next? Wait for the official response from TechCrunch about their new venture.
Update: This was just a prank!
Fantastic … guess you will have to move over completely to VC funded startups now

That would be the non VC funded companies
