Dear friends of the fourth estate

It gives us great please to announce that we launched a spiritual event portal “kalpavasi.com” primarily to facilitate foreign visitors to experience the Kumbh Mela

http://www.Kalpavasi.com is the most comprehensive web site on the Kumbh Mela and provides all round information on the world’s biggest event from all possible disciplines and approaches. Kalpavasi.com has brought the little know aspect of the Kalpavasa Vrata and has presented to a worldwide audience in order to popularise the correct system of participation for pilgrims

http://www.Kalpavasi.com deals with the Kumbh Mela not only from the aspect of faith, religion and spirituality but also from the scientific views. The website is the result of more than ten years of intense research by renowned indologists, sociologists, anthropologists, archaeologists and religious scholars

Kalpavasi throws new light to the way the Kumbh Mela has been approached through the years. Kalpavasi attempts to bring back the importance of the pilgrims who have over the years become mute spectators while the ascetics (Sadhus) have grabbed the limelight and headlines. The portal has been started to bring back into vogue the importance of the lay devotee and his quintessential kalpavasa vrata in the Kumbh Mela, which seems to have lost its importance in the recent times .

Leveraging its success with fun educational puzzle games on Facebook, HashCube has become one of the most successful companies to launch games for the recently opened up social networks of MySpace, Orkut and Friendster. HashCube’s Sudoku application is now the most popular Sudoku app of MySpace’s 110 million monthly users.

With more than 300,000 monthly active users on Facebook, 3 million monthly page views, a stable of 8 games deployed on 4 different social networking and mobile platforms and significant revenue, HashCube has a proven track record of developing, deploying and monetizing educational casual games for the social and mobile platforms. They are one of the few startups which are doing more than copy pasting US stuff for India. Rather, more than 99% of their active users currently are non-Indians. With 5 more games planned, their success looks likely to continue well into the future.

HashCube, a start-up being supported under iAccelerator program at IIM Ahmedabad’s Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE), aims to leverage the current craze amongst youth to use applications built on these platforms. Notably, iShoot application on iPhone by a developer in the US made around Rs 3 crore in one month. Scrabulous by India’s Agarwala brothers has been one of the most popular applications on Facebook.

HashCube’s innovation extends beyond programming as they look to alternative industries for ideas on how to finance their expansion. Borrowing a trick from the movie industry they plan to sell ‘points’ in their upcoming games entitling investors to act like producers and to directly share in the revenue of the games Hashcube develops. This provides a much clearer path for investors to get a return on their money and allows HashCube to retain more control of their company, creating a ‘win-win’ for both parties
