About Rajesh

I am a tech entrepreneur based in Mumbai, India. I was a pioneer in Asia’s dotcom revolution, creating IndiaWorld, India’s first Internet portals in the late 1990s. I then started Netcore, which is today Asia’s largest marketing technology SaaS company.

In between, from 2012-2019, I worked as a political and prosperity entrepreneur - Niti Digital and then Nayi Disha, which championed the Dhan Vapasi idea. Some recent new initiatives I have started are Prashnam, India’s first AI-powered feedback engine, and Vartam, for news and microcontent. Another initiative of mine is IndiaVotes, India's largest elections data site.

Here is my full profile.

I have been writing daily since April 2020. My blog with writings between 1999-2012 is at Emergic.

My past web shows: hippoBrain and MartechBrain.
