Finally…..Collegespeaks.com is launched. It was in September last year, when the idea seeded. I was with my husband in one of those sarkari rest houses (with flora & fauna in abundance to the extent of thinking and even being creative at times, as you can see) – back from Glasgow – and never ceasing to think of newer ways and ideas of using the web more interactively.
What started as a platform to provide inside information about colleges, shared by students themselves, took the current shape with not just students but also colleges having a space for them. Collegespeaks.com, as it looks today, is the result of actually delving into a hundred thousand websites, some very good suggestions from Akshay & Chaula (for having the site development in safe hands) and of course, my husband, with his management insights & fundas. So here we are!!! Collegespeaks.com is now in closed beta version and has opened to colleges for registration. Over the year, Collegespeaks.com has built a sound database of colleges and their courses from across India. Not to mention, the innumerous complexities created by the lack of availability of information in our country and all the possible threats of which people have made us aware of, time and again. All this has only contributed to getting rid yet another hurdle and helped us tap yet another opportunity. We have now entered the next phase – a step ahead (or may be many steps ahead) since we started last September. Every day there is something new to learn and every passing day gives an increased confidence as we talk to more and more colleges. I’ll come back soon with more updates.
