Experience SmsGyan the chat way.

In order to make SMSGYAN even more accessible, we launched GYAN over your favorite Instant Messenger GTalk or the Chat in Gmail.

Now you can access the GYAN Services, by sending the query as a chat message to smsgyan@smsgyan.com

You will have to add smsgyan@smsgyan.com to your friend list first.

TIP:After adding GYAN to your messenger list,type HELP on the GYAN chat window and you will get a response with a list of different keywords.

To get detailed information about anything, send the query with the keyword to smsgyan@smsgyan.com and you will get a response with the details.

For Encyclopedia,all you have to do is type in the query.

My personal favourites include book-movie reviews (for which we partnered with reviewbag.com) and the expand acronyms feature, totally rocks and so should you when you start using it ;)

Garage days of Innoz

Its now over a year since we took that ambitious and risky leap, the leap to be different, the leap to be Entrepreneurs. The first step of that never ending leap was the Interview at Park Centre,Technopark on April the 8th 2008 for getting the incubation which we four will never forget.

Its been a zigzag journey since then mixed with success and failure,more of the first than the second. We cant say the journey has been easy, it was not. But it was fun all the way, we were doing what we liked best turning our laps (laptops) into labs, sleeping at 4 in the night or rather morning (whichever way you see it), train journeys with confirmed and unconfirmed tickets, board meeting inside hostel rooms,rented rooms and whereever we found some room. In short it has been some hard but delightfull "Garage days of Innoz".

If you ask us what our biggest success has been, we are happy to say that it is certainly more than one.
+ One of the biggest achievement was obviously the launch of our first product SmsGyan in its beta version (its still in beta),

Some other achievements being --

+ the 62nd position we managed in the TATA NEN Hottest Startup Awards,

+ Official launch of SmsGyan by Hon.Home Minister of Kerala,Sri.Kodiyeri Balakrishnan,

+ a wide media coverage of all these helped us to keep our loved ones at home and out happy,

+ Smsgyan got nominated for Economic Times-Power of Ideas & successfully entered into the Elevator Pitch and is likely to find a stable investor soon.

And very recently we managed one big break through in the form of iAccelerator incubation program at IIM-Ahmedabad. We are one of the 6 startups selected from all over India. iAccelerator is the Indian version of the now very famous Silicon valley based Ycombinator. Innoz will have to move to IIM-Ahmedabad and stay there for 4 months starting May-1. And that means IIM-A campus will be Innoz' standby garage in the coming days ;)

The "Garage days of Innoz" continues......

Chill.

Smsgyan beta launched.

Finally we have launched our first product's beta version in our college(lbs college of engineering for those unaware) without much fanfare even though the district collector inaugurated it inside a packed house seminar hall with everyone's mouth half open in amazement.
The reason we didn't want a bigger fanfare was just simple and obvious-we were releasing a beta version and not a stable one. So we kept that for the stabler version release.

For those wanting an early peek into the product, just visit www.smsgyan.com
and to know the story behind it go to www.blog.innoz.in

And talking about the stable version release, it is most likely to happen on a date which starts with number 1 and ends with the number 3, no more clues, sorry. And the place which will witness the dream come true of four young rare minds addicted to innovations will be ofcourse Technopark .

So hold your breath !!

Fear in my eyes........

I have my pads on, and every other thing that was provided to me to face one of the best bowler in the world at a packed house Eden gardens , preferably a south african bowler. Yes i'm selected to the Indian cricket team. And i just confirmed my middle stump guard with the umpire....... and then i saw him running towards me at great speed indicating the greater speed of his delivery that i will be facing in a moment...... i lifted my bat.....my eyes automatically opened as wide as it could..... probably i was ready........

That is the kind of situation i have myselves in..... even though it is too minute when compared to a selection to the Indian cricket team....... but nevertheless i can see many eyes staring at me with great expectations. Eyes that i dont want to see dissapointed. As a result..... i have got fear inside my eyes..... And i got no regrets, because that increments my motivation keywords list by one (AkA ++ in programming terms)....... with the other keywords being.... dream, passion,addiction, and i'm sure a lot of fun...

PRAY FOR ME BROTHER and ofcourse SISTER'S as well. ;-)

The innoz attitude pic.

The attitude pic

They told us we lacked attitude in our first snap that we sent them ( read them as "Dhanam", a malayalam biz magazine), that was to appear along side an interview that we gave them. So we had to show em some real attitude the next time we clicked. Hope they dont reject this snap citing too much attitude, ;-).
