A "social" startup. Under one year old. Challenging the oligopoly in their industry. Raised 3 million and then stopped asking for more money. Will now cater to 28/70 seats in New Delhi (population : 9 million, that's like 3 million users ;) ) Long term vision - a billion plus users (all of India)

The way I see it, this is news that's relevant to folks interested in technology... The reason this particular story is on the front page is that a lot of these folks do have connections to India.
