Started in 2011, with 2 million monthly active users worldwide it has become one of the important event happening website in India. It also have mobile apps for iPhone and Android.
Critic: Very average looking website so in order to have successful running the portal need to offer more than what dozens of event website is already providing to its users, the UI, look-n-feel and design is also mere average.

Flixstreet technically is a social discovery and recommendation engine for Indian movie lovers, currently focused on Bollywood, and soon be moving onto regional Indian movies as well. FlixStreet is online portal to search all things movies, It is more of a platform that helps you to 'Discover' all about Bollywood movies and add to your watch list, share movie ratings, reviews and recommendations for the movies you have watched and also let you follow what your friends are watching and the movies they have enjoyed and recommend.
Critic: Pretty good website with nice minimalist design and less confusing elements however a little more features can surely add stars to what this portal is currently offering to its users.

Critic: Very cluttered design though nice, useful and informative content for target audience the portal is meant for, but competitive website design and UI is an important element one cannot overlook.
EntrepriseJungle
EnterpriseJungle is a 'Social Discovery Platform' targeted and focused on business professionals and sits atop public and private networks and introduces you to the best people outside of your current network that you should already know. To use it you have to sign-in using your LinkedIn profile, EntrepriseJungle will then give you recommendations of people both in your current company and in similar companies and letting you consider which may be of value to your network.
EntrepriseJungle use LinkedIn as the platform for authentication and saving/storing your new professional connections.
Critics: When we tested the web app, it took a good and long-long amount of time to show up something after you sign-in using your LinkedIn account and send people recommendations on your email and dashboard of web app was almost empty even after signing-in. The concept might be good but the interactivity of website is loosing somewhere due to technical process it take.
