Dial-a-Book to be chronicled by Inc India

I am happy to share with the readers of this blog that my start-up “Dial-a-Book” was recently profiled by Indian Edition of the Awesome Inc magazine of the US.  To make things more cool they’ve added us to their feature ‘Start-up Diaries’ in which they track various start-ups over a period of time to see how they are performing. Guess, now we have another reason to perform better 🙂

I love Inc.com and try to follow it as much as I can and it’s great to get recognition from them. The story shares my and Tarang(my younger brother and partner in Dial-a-Book)’s educational and professional background and how we started Dial-a-Book. It also looks into our business model, our operations, values and future plans.

I suggest you grab a copy of Jan edition of Inc India and give it a read.

PPS: The previous big mention Dial-a-Book had in press was when Mint included us in their story of  start-up ideas you wishyou had thought of.

My new startup ‘Dial-a-Book’ has got its first mention in print media today. It’s been almost a year since I started working on Dial-a-Book along with my younger brother and it’s been an absolute fun ride.

Here’s an excerpt from the article

Past life

Dial-a-Book is a Delhi-based start-up founded by brothers Mayank and Tarang Dhingra. Tarang, 25, is a final-year student at the University of Delhi. Mayank, 27, is a software engineer who left a corporate job at Fidelity International in 2005 to work for a string of tech start-ups—from SlideShare, an online presentation hosting service, to MPower Mobile, which works with mobile payments. In 2008, before the Twitter bandwagon bulldozed its way across the country’s Internet landscape, he experimented with creating a Twitter-like service for India called Kwippy—which Mayank called a “conversational platform”. The site folded in mid-2009, and subsequent dabbling in ideas on what to do next led to Dial-a-Book
