e-CLASS The New e-Lite By Sunit Arora With a domain-name like 73coffees.com, you're asking for that question. For the record, it was on the 73rd cup of java that the name actually popped up, smiles Sarita Hegde-Roy, who recently launched the interactive vortal which targets companies planning to host conferences and events. After a decade in the hospitality, travel, media, and entertainment industries, it's a fairly obvious e-xpansion for Hegde-Roy into virtual hosting. The question is, will the Net drink to her? Speed over size is Nachiket Mor's motto. The 36-year-old has just taken charge of ICICI's e-Commerce division, and has the livewire task of working with existing clients to Web-enable their processes. This Ph.D in finance from Wharton will also have to incubate ideas-large or small, they have to be rolled out fast, he emphasises-to meet the ICICI's role as a Net investor. And these ideas will have to click too. She's got a human model. Kalpana Padhi is targeting HR professionals through her 7-month-old site, Humanlinks.com. With 1,500 HR managers on board, and 30,000 page-views per month, Padhi now wants to sell a HR management software on-line. With competitive HR sites flowering, she will need more than plain people power. B. Hari defines the Build-Sell-Rebuild e-ntrepreneur. After selling Calonline.com to the US-based Research Engineers Inc. in December, 1998, the 35-year-old Hari went on to create the country's first tenders site, Tendertimes.com. Next is a site linking top Indian B-schools to leading US universities, which will source case studies from US companies. Hari's idea: use the Website to meet the gap in demand between the skill-sets required by American industry, and those that desi students are equipped with. No, he hasn't floated a tender for selling this one-yet. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, 34, is leading the charge of the newest player on the Net block: consumer electronics giant BPL. Last month, the group kicked off BPLnet, an Internet Service Provider, and launched 2 portals. The emphasis on content fits in with the BPL Mobile's CEO's strategy of creating an end-to-end package from telecom- through enterprise- to Net-solutions. Believe in the Net to deliver the best! |
