Fun facts about me:I'm an accidental entrepreneurwho started his company to make pocket money. Many of you still think I live in Kolkata, but been in Bangalore for over a decade now. (Love the weather + beers, and I think we over-marketed the Kolkata story). Have 2 Masters degree (both in computer science, from Manipal & then University of Edinburgh, UK), so am not a dropout (just because I started at 17 :) Love my beers, poker, electronic/live music
