In the recent times, there has been a cold war between both Ambani brothers-Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani . Now this war is fuelled over Anil Ambani’s business proposal with South African mobile major MTN. Mukesh Ambani's objection over Reliance Communications (Rcomm) venture with MTN seems to be a mere obstacle in the path of Anil's success. This deal will make RComm one of the biggest telecomm company in the world. Its just a jealousy of Mukesh group. They are putting dark clouds over the proposed deal. The notice sent to MTN about its first right of refusal to the deal has given RComm sleepless night. Mukesh should rather concentrate in his own business rather than trying to create disturbance. I feel that Anil’s expanding business and its success in market is the only reason why Mukesh is interfering into the matter.

wurlpool.com's co-founder Rakesh Verma ( left ) and Vivek Khandelwal ( with laptop ) in its first meeting to launch the portal 7th June 2008 in Hostel-3 in IITB campus in Vivek's roomTwo IITB student launches India's digg
It is very interesting to see a new website started by two IITBombay student Vivek Khandelwal and Rakesh Verma. Vivek is a 3rd year Chemistry student while Rakesh is a fourth year Aerospace Engineering student. They both stay in Hostel number- 3 in 3rd floor as neighbors. Vivek belongs to heritage city Jaipur while Rakesh belongs to still city Bokaro. I had met Vivek in Barcamp and one day he called me to meet him. A regular in all Barcamp Mumbai planner list, Startup Saturday and all entrepreneurship activities , Vivek is an interesting student to meet. I met him in Gulmohar Restaurant in IITB campus and later in his hostel and attended http://www.wurlpool.com/ ’s first meeting on how to carry its launch and PR further.
Rakesh is a coding chap behind the portal. Rakesh, though Aero space Engineering student, is an ace developer. ….yes amazingly talented and focused on his mouse. ….an introvert who is (accordingly Vivek) camera and public life shy. He gave a presentation: webmasters can bookmark their site in our site and we will share revenue with them. Our immediate revenue model is on advertisement. Now we will use Google adsence .
He coined their portal’s tagline: “Wurl site, twirl cent”. Wow great tagline!
I asked to detail more. They told me: Digg kind of site but with a difference. I told: are you a content aggregation site? They said: Yes Yess …Yesss
We discussed a little on possible PR strategy and branding it as India specific content aggregation site. You can book mark your site and this is going to be one of the best platform for any webmaster those are not able to optimize their site to come on Google’s first three page. Their flash launch says: This is virtual syndication. …around the world in 80 seconds... rediscover the web…content + page views + networking: profit.
As per both founders- Vivek – Rakesh duo’s plan:……… it is an “user generated platform”. Say it entertainment, sports, education, culture, business, travel, trends, society, sports. …
Now, the flash edition of the site is online before formal launch. He had an chat with me as soon as it went online. A chat filled with “unparallel enthuse” with a dream to infuse newer experience for India’s webmasters. ” I am putting the chat below:-
