The story so far…

Four years ago, I quit my comfortable job at a Fortune 100 company to return to India and build a platform that would help people (read Indians from across the world) connect and form meaningful relationships. Even at that time, I knew that it was going to be a ‘platform’ and not just a website. I say "not-just-a-website" because the Internet is not the only phenomenon in our lives. There is TV, Radio, Newspaper and now, more so, the ubiquitous mobile phone.

I think it would be apt to say that we (couldn’t do all this myself!) have reached a milestone. From DesiCupid (then only a dating site) to Fropper.com – a community of over 1.5 million people who come together to interact, make new friends, find dates & have fun. But, from here, where do we go? Or more specifically, where do we take Fropper?

Since Fropper is a platform - one that empowers, enables & enriches everyone who interacts with it – we are not limited in any manner. Even though we are a company that does many things. In this, we are unique. Our company – People Interactive (I) Pvt. Ltd., is about People. People who are entrepreneurs and who have the liberty to do what is right. We can shape Fropper in such a way that it permeates every stitch in the fabric of your (our) lives. In fact, if you have used Fropper Forums, you will know that interaction, community & honest feedback form the backbone of our services.

So, coming back to the question – where do we go from here? –

I think we need not spend too much time thinking. You (our users) have given us what we need. A purpose, a direction and a broad theme from which we can execute and I would like to thank each one of you for taking the survey and telling us what you want Fropper to do for you.

In the next couple of weeks, there will be lot to share. Especially the launch of Fropper Zones. So, come by, read, comment and connect with us!

Cheers!
