www.Sulekha.com is a groundbreaking site for multiple reasons, one of them being that, it is a completely member-contributed website; almost all of its 500,000+ pages of content are contributed by tens of thousands of Indians from over 50 countries.

It is best place to blog, to interact and to make friends. Sulekha has blogs, social networking, classifieds, events, yellow pages, among other services and has definitely come a long way in a short span of time. It is the leading provider of integrated online event promotion and management, membership and fundraising services to offline organizations.

ww.Sulekha.com is succeeding today by identifying and firmly establishing first-mover leadership role in multiple areas, and by managing its resources smartly and is preparing to launch the first Indian electronic bookstore aimed at selling downloadable content to end-users. It has won unanimous praise from numerous Indian and foreign media for its unique approach and commercial success.

It is a fully funded company, headquartered in Austin (Texas, US) and with operations in US and India. The website has not advertised on TV in India to date as we always felt there would be a lot of wastage in reaching an audience that is not yet on online. www.Sulekha.com has been recognized as one of the Top Six Largest Internet Media Portals in India and a pioneer in marrying community and commerce in a distinctive manner.

It has served more than 500 advertisers in more than 10 business domains and helped meet their marketing and sales objectives. Sulekha has become a highly sought-after online advertising medium because of its unparalleled reach, unprecedented targeting (by age, gender, city, sub-ethnicity and income) and integrated offline/online promotions through any of the following avenues:

Online Advertising In-Theater Advertising Direct Marketing Event Sponsorship Market Research.

Of course, www.sulekha.com is specific to blogging while ibibo.com is not. Sulekha is one place where you can be heard (or read, to be logically correct) and you can know that you are being heard, praised, criticized, loved, hated, rated, debated and all the stuff (Sulekhaism, I would term it) that occurs out here.

Sulekha is preparing to unveil the world's first electronic store selling digital content sourced from Indians around the world. Lata Sundar, director of content in the company's Chennai office, explains: "Sulekha today features free content contributed by South Asians, and we are moving up the content value chain by compiling valuable content from contributors from all over the world that people will gladly pay for". Sulekha is my homepage. Sulekha isn't alone in the online classifieds game (there's Google (NSDQ: GOOG), Guruji, Justdial, AskLaila, Infomedia, Kijiji, Click.in among others), but there's a difference - Sulekha.com has a fairly loyal community already in place.
