January 08, 2007 - Internet craze seems to be catching on in India. From a low internet user base of about 1.4million in 1998, over 40 million users used the net in 2006 (source - http://www.internetworldstats.com/asia/in.htm ). This has resulted in lot of activity in this space and lot of potential is seen. As a result lot of new generation entrepreneurs from diverse industries are coming up with different kind of portals to provide solutions related to India and Indians.
Indiashomepage - Gateway to India - is one such directory on India which has come up in late 2006.. This portal was initially inspired by the success of the Milliondollarhomepage.com. Milliondollarhomepage was a pixel advertising website created by a college student in UK. However, the concept though new, did not provide any specific benefits to the visitors or the advertisers(except in case of traffic due to news) .
Sandeep, who had left his Vice- President post with Malwa Industries (a reputed textile group of India) - to start on his own was attracted by the internet phenomenon and came across the news on Milliondollarhomepage. He , alongwith his wife Dimple , decided that they would take it as a challenge to improve upon the Pixel concept and make it useful and longlasting. They decided to start a new kind of Web Directory/Search Engine on India which would make searching for information a pleasure for Indians and others searching for Indian businesses.
Indiashomepage was thus created where companies were listed in a very unique way on a single page to enhance user friendliness. What started only as a pixel site, turned into a much bigger portal on different industries in India. The development of the site was solely directed with the purpose of providing a unique and userfriendly experience to the Indians.The site , within 3 months of its launch, could come in Top100,000 sites of the world on Alexa - the premier ranking portal.

The site is further poised to grow with the addition of new chapters every week serving different industries. The aim of the site is to ensure that everyone associated with an industry in India should be able to use the sections provided in the site for free. Thus whether it is employees looking for a job, or owners keeping tab on their competitors, or researchers looking for information on the industry - all can find information links very easily and without searching or clicking back and forth.
