They also promise that the site would be free of offensive content and will be sensitive to Indian sentiments.
"The thought of creating the website struck us when we thought about the time spent on Facebook. When we are on the website, we don't do anything that helps us professionally.

"Our team includes students pursuing various courses such as MBA-Technology and B-Tech. The core members of the team include Mehul Gupta, Laksh Mangoo, Prashant Singh, Rahul Khanna, Ritesh Singh, Ronak Doshi and Sanoj Verghese."
