Sabeer Bhatia Enters Social Networking With ApnaCircle.com
Mon, 09/24/2007 - 16:10 — Sahad P V
Social networking sites continue to sprout in India although opinion is deeply divided on the viability of such a model in the country. The latest is that Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia has backed a social and professional networking site called ApnaCircle.com [no relation to VC Circle :-)].
A press release says: "ApnaCircle.com is an online social and professional networking site that is created to connect people with people, friends and even unknown acquaintances who live, work or stay around them." Yogesh Bansal is the founder and CEO of ApnaCircle.com. He is a Silicon Valley returnee.
ApnaCircle joins the existing bandwagon of SNS like MingleBox (funded by Sequoia Capital India), Yaari.com, Brijj (professional networking site founded by Naukri), BharatStudent.com (SN for students), IndyaRocks.com, DesiMartini et al. Of course, Orkut continues to lead the pack with a significant user base. Any idea about how many users these sites have?
