Best of 09

By Vivek | Published: December 29, 2009

This is one post that I have been itching to write. This year has been anything but dull.  We have had our shares of lows and highs but overall the year has been purelyt fantastic.  On a lighter note, Mrigank finally started blogging. He has even started Tweeting !! (Trust me this is a biggie). Even Dev got himself a twitter account – Sandip though has created one but is yet to accept the power of twitter.  Arpit and Siddharth finally got hold of an apartment.  I have been fairly irregular with my blog. Mukul has ..err … well chuck it .  Lets not even mention Sudhir out here.

On a serious note , 2009 has been full of action . The year for us at Voicetap started in Feb when Mrigank came down, got me and Dev hooked to the idea.  A lot has happened since then –  The Conference Calls,  Career and Education Series – The Summer in 2 cubicles (more on this soon), raising funds, new office , new team,  Getafixx, awesome feedback from users, Red Herring Asia 100,  and now finally the flagship product which is ready to be rolled out. Each of these events have their own exciting stories attached with them. Not to mention the dozen of parties, the latest one being the Avatar show (btw you just cannot afford to miss it in 3D).

What next-

The coming next months will be jam packed. The year will start off with Mrigank presenting at COMSNET startup showcase on 8th in Banglore, post which we would be competing for Red Herring Global 100 at LA.

Before I push off, Happy new year to all you

All the very best for the new year -Voicetap Team

Signing off

What are we doing ?

By Vivek | Published: December 21, 2009

The past one month has been super exciting at the Voicetap Office – and is just not because of the Red Herring Asia 100 that we won last month but also because after many all nighter’s and pizza parties, our flagship product is up and ready.  And as I speak, at this very moment a gang of secret beta testers are trying out the product and giving it a spin. A lot has been done but let me say – quite a lot needs to be done. Nevertheless the Team has been partying like never before.  Thanks to Dada and Sudhir and of course Dev – the feedback definitely looks promising and in times to come we shall open the product to more and more people.

Why the name Getafixx

By Vivek | Published: November 24, 2009

While we have received an amazing feedback and inputs from our users regarding Getafixx, we have also been asked, a lot of time now – Why the name Getafixx.

Let me share a little secret out here – Most of us here are BIG, I mean really big Cartoon/Comic/Animation followers. Siddharth loves reading comics (Chacha Chaudhary being his personal favorite), Mrigank is a die hard Harry Potter fan, I personally am a big Pixar Fan and yes not to mention Dev who has been a big Asterix & Obelix follower .

But then the question is WHY GETAFIXX -

So Getafixx the name is derived from the comic character in Asterix and Obelix. He is the druid who conjures up various magical potions which can cure all ailments. We thought it would be apt to name the engine as Getafixx – because its core area of expertise is to help cure knowledge related ailments – quickly and effectively.

Btw did i tell you about the Red Herring Asia 100.

Getafixx is live !!

By devanshu | Published: October 25, 2009

Hey

I know, I know – its been sometime since we got in touch with you, and thanks for your patience. Over the past 5 – 6 months, we have been busy trying to come up with a product that cuts through the faff and gets you direct access to expert knowledge. When you want it, where you want it and how you want it. Intrigued?

This is a personal invite to try out the service first hand. Just add getafixx@voicetap.in to your Gtalk buddy list, and start chatting. It’s our first attempt at bridging the knowledge gap and mapping the knowledge stored deep in the minds of people. Give it a whirl. Its sure to have bugs, and we would oh so love it if you gave us your feedback on the product.

If you appreciate if – tell others. If you don’t – definitely tell us!

Thanks again for your patience, and we look forward to having you on the platform!

Cheers

Voicetap Team
