Hello Robocon
See you all there :)

Well,
I am writing this post in response to some of the articles which were featuring us recently - a few online news portals misinterpreted the news regarding us and iRobot corporation.
Let me make it VERY clear that iRobot were just interested in seeing what we guys are doing -nothing yet has materialised and no business association or any other development has taken place.
Please consider that iRobot corporation is a major player in this segment and a listed company - while we are a relatively new company who still have not released any product in the market.
Please give us some time to make our presence felt by showcasing our products.
I think i have put my point and it is quiet clear now.

Yes ! ...
picporta was the finalist for proto - 2008 July edition ..
The experience was quiet amazing and we met many investors
and participants of proto.
All the particiapnts were quiet amazing specially Soliton, muziboo, lifeblob and lootstreet.
I met quiet wonderful people there who helped and appreciated our efforts not forgetting to mention Mr. Jaspreet Singh(Druvaa Softwares),Kaushik and Arun(Lootstreet) and Mr. Sameer(Morpheus Ventures).
Vijay and his team lived up to the expectations and manged the event wonderfully.(Although internet connectivity remained an issue)
It was an enriching experience for us and not forgetting to mention that picporta was appreciated a lot
by the critics.
We recently were featured in D.A.R.E magazine - a magazine on entrepreneurs in India.

Yesterday i met with someone who needs no introduction.
But this is not the reason of this post - as i have met a many high profilers before even.
Most peculiar thing which i noticed about this gentleman is his simplicity and down to earth attitude.
I was with him for almost about a day but not for a single moment i felt that i am with someone who has this much diversified background and achievements at mere 31 ,sufficient to give someone a huge inferiority complex.
We talked about robots and had delicious gujrati food together
But this meeting definitely will be a unforgettable moment of my life for sure.
And those .. who still are wondering who this gentleman is then here is the clue :

We were in news for roboGRAD (gBOT series) on the main page of Economic Times (National Edition) on 2'nd Jan 2008.
Our first consumer robotics product roboGRAD was covered along with our future plans of marketing and production.
Cool .. eh !
Edukite guys called today and assured of resolving the issues which were lying pending.
Prima facie .. it seems to be the miscommunication from both the sides.
Both had points to prove each other wrong but we mutually agreed over settling this issues and closing the deal.
I hope things will settle down peacefully.
