What: The simple objective of this site is to organize information on personal finance with an Indian perspective. Consequently if there is an increase in financial awareness and helps in taking better financial decisions, so be it. We have sections on financial literacy, all financial products, a directory for financial advisors and a forum for discussing personal finance
When: We started the first update on August 7, 2007.
3.0 Products and Services The site is an information site and there are no products and services other than information. However Forum, Feeds and the Directory could possibly be clubbed under information services. Various sections on Mutual Funds, Insurance, Stocks, Bonds, ETF, etc could be clubbed as information products. And we don’t know how to classify Interviews, Editor’s choice and financial literacy articles

MyIris, India Infoline
MyIris, India Infoline
However a search on “personal finance India weekly” throws up our site as the first search result!
The most important question to ask is “What this site offers to survive in the web sphere where such big daddies/players are active?” However Big daddy sites do not necessarily provide better user experience.
5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary Our uniqueness lies in us being an online weekly and we can build on that difference by becoming a preferred site because of our passion for financial literacy and a warm, personal touch.
The USP of this site will be “one stop personal finance site with better user experience”
