Antya, (profiled earlier) the Indian version of Mahalo is almost nearing deadpool (or shortcircuit, as we call it).
Founders (earlier used to work for ibibo) have moved on:
- Sunny Saurabh has joined MySpace as Product Manager (linkedin)
- Bharanidharan has joined AccentiumWeb, company founded by Vivek Pahwa (who sold DesiMartini to HT) and also invested in Antya.
Fundamentally, Antya had several issues – for example tying up the web search in India with site url and I am nit sure whether Antya ever took off bigtime and though the site is operational for now, I believe it’s just a matter of time that the site heads towards it’s own antya.?
What’s your opinion? Will you miss the service?
