In 3-5 years timeframe,
general purpose SNS will
be mass reality in India.
I would expect the first
career social network to
start gaining momentum in
the next 12 months...

…from our perspective,
both these are definitely
investible spaces – perhaps
with different time

Then there’s what I would
call second generation like Flickr, YouTube and
our own website; and I
think this trend is going to
grow strong. 3D

next big thing to watch out

Social networks have
lowered barrier to
communication, especially
between single men & women
and there's also an aspect of
voyeurism to it, especially in
tight-knit communities (like
Facebook in college).

I think starting out is an
easy, fairly painless
process but
disengagement can have
serious fallout and I
think many will be forced
to rethink… soon
