A lot of people, specially friends in South India (read Bangalore) and from US, keep asking me about what startups are there in India. Here is a blog with the most comprehensive list I have seen till date.
Direct link to the xls for the impatient folks...
Also, TATA-NEN has recently launched the coolest startup awards and this should also throw up a more recent list (specially pre-funded companies).

Blogging Buzz
Well well... Did anyone miss me ;-)
I just checked and I havnt written anything for the last 6 months but there has definately been lots going on... changed jobs (moved to Guavus Networks - a data mining startup based out of Gurgaon), son has started play school, termites ate up my closet, etc, etc. Amongst this, I also found time to read a couple of books: "Fortune at the bottom of the Pyramid" (Prof C K Prahalad) and "First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently"
by Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman. More about these in later blogs... but both are definately must-reads.
I also re-read (read first during engineering college) "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Douglas E. Comer but that would be uninteresting for most people :-)
Finally, coming to what triggered this blog -- a good friend finally started his blog.. this is something that I had thought would never happen, as he was very vocal about how useless blogs are... but finally the writing bug got to him. Here's the link to the blog. I am sure it would be make for intresting reading.. so do bookmark it! And well, if he does make good on his promise of "I plan to write about things related to technology - particularly systems stuff, puzzles, thinking, interviewing, hiring smart people, books etc." I am sure it would make for great reading.
