Unveiling Suggestica; Thanks to everyone who played a part!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The day has come. Finally. What started off as a simple idea took on a
“larger than life” size over the last few months. Vijay and I are
blessed to be surrounded by so many bright people that made it happen.
A project of this magnitude cannot be brought to life without the
involvement of MANY bright people.
Vijay and I want to
acknowledge the key people. With our bird brains, we are sure that we
will leave a few names out and we will kick ourselves later. If we have
left out your name, please note that it is because of our bird brains
and nothing else.
1. Compassites
- The company that took the idea and made it a reality. These people
are not vendors. They are more like partners. They can take an idea
(one liner) and convert that into a product. So many people from the
company were involved in the product at some time or the other.
Thanks
to Naveen Lakkur, Ramesh Rajamani, Rajesh Kannan, Nimisha Mohandas,
Hareesh, Narayanan, Sowmya, Prashant, Nalini, Prakash, Preethi, Anand,
Sumanth, Parinitha, Naveen Kumar and Dhananjai.
2. Karthik Sundaram at Purplepatch Services - First, for the logo and then for all the support througout.
3. Advisors - Stan Leopard, Sterling Lanier, Paul D’Souza and Yakov Soloveychik.
4. iVistasolutions - Designed the look and feel for the project
5. Feedback for the pre-release version - Erik Hansen, Bren Connelly, Phil Gerbyshak, Mike Sansome, Richard Banfield, Phil Lee, Harsha Raghavan, Ramit Sethi, Bill Sherman, Dwayne Melancon, John Keegan, John Brothers, Stephen Hopson, Wayne Turmel, Alan Lattanner, Mike Beck, Ravi Char, Guru Yellapur, Peggy McColl, Hanley Brite and Avinash Vaidya
6. Jeff Barr and Rajesh Kulkarni of Amazon.com for all the support
7. Investors - There are several of them. We will be announcing them soon.
8.
Well-wishers - Too many to list. Thanks to everyone of you who sent us
a mail or called us to wish us good luck or just plain wanted the best
for Suggestica. Thank you.
The doors are now open. Welcome. Experience and enrich yourself through the suggestions at Suggestica!








Congratulations Rajesh and Vijay! I was honored to be given a preview of Suggestica and know it will be a smashing success. One of the most popular features on The Cranky Middle Manager podcast is when we ask our guests which books, blogs and resources THEY are reading. I’ve found a wealth of new information and know Suggestica will be equally valuable.
Good luck, I’ll be watching keenly.
Rajesh,
I wish you all the best for your venture. I think next big after amazon and google on the internet, Suggestica is the biggest for the internet as well for the people who seek to excell in their chosen field.

Hi Raj,
It is a very interesting venture and I liked the look of the site. Congrats to both Vijay and yourself.
Balaji
I liked the way you announced the lunching of Suggestica: telling just a few smart words about the project but making it interesting enough to be waiting for it until the expected date.
Wish you all the best in this new project
Indeed I am… As you told the launching is today, I’ve been unsuccesfully entering the site several times (consider european time) It would have been a good idea to announce the opening hour as well
Congratulations Rajesh, Vijay. Great to see this idea become a successful launch. The site looks very useful and I did notice the platform that you are building (technically, design wise).
I also read Rajesh’s interview with Dave.
Jose,
Sorry about that.
Sorry for the late response. The launch has already happened. Could you please refresh your screen. Probably the splash page is cached in your browser
Cheers,
Raj
