very very interesting....this sector is witnessing lot of momentum - but this one seems to be very well executed - team is solid ex-travelocity- but surprisingly all CTO/engineers came together to start a finance portal !
feel this one has the potential - unlike few others with similar plans but far poor execution (including iim-a guys startup aisapaisa.com which is a really poor execution compared to this one...thnk fod iim-a allows entrepreneurs to come back for campus placements next year ;-)
