Anumks has started a series of post on the social networking sites in India. Keep a tab on it.
Linked by admin. Join Blogbharti facebook group.Lately I have been getting a lot of invites from different social networking sites that are from India. Last year (year 2006) we have witnessed a lot of funding for many social networking sites in India. So I did some research on many social networking sites (SNS) and thought of putting my thoughts together about those sites in multi part series of this blog.
A good article, however I would disagree that SNS won’t work in India. SNS is already working in India, orkut has a huge number of Indians. The only thing missing is the presence of online transactions and advertising/selling medium. As soon as it comes in India will rock.
I agree. But I think we need a homegrown SNS for efficient monetization. There isn’t any such SNS.
Are there venture capitaliss/ angel investors focussed on funding SNS sites or internet based products for the Indian market ?
I think so. If not, they are going to miss out on something huge. A homegrown social networking platform will be wildly successful as they can cater to the Indian public better than the Orkuts and Facebooks of the world.
