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

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.
