Maju Kuriakose-Space is not a Constraint
    ONE DOESN'T REQUIRE OODLES OF MONEY ORELABORATE INFRASTRUCTURE TO START A DOTCOM BUSINESS. 

A NUMBER OF INTERESTING SITES ARE BEING RUN BY PEOPLE SINGLE-HANDEDLY FROM THEIR SINGLE ROOMS

In the dotcom business, history and geography are irrelevant, they say. Looks like, space too. There are dotcom firms operating from a single room with minimum infrastructure and manpower in Hyderabad alone. However this trend is not peculiar to Hyderabad. The entire country is witnessing a dotcom revolution and encouraging the 'hidden entrepreneurial skills' among the youth.. So is the case with
 Maju Kuriakose, Chief Executive of Reachouthyderabad.com

You might encounter a little more sophistication or professionalism when you meet the youngsters who have launched Reachouthyderabad.com. The site is more generic in nature and features lots of information about the city. " Initially, I wanted to start a monthly magazine on Hyderabad. I found the whole procedure so cumbersome that I gave up on the idea. I teamed up with two brothers who, like me, were web freaks. In less than three months the idea took shape. Today we are almost a portal site with a global reach, "Maju Kuriakose", Chief Executive, explained.

The Reachout group pooled in their pocket money and started the site from Maju's sisters house with just one computer. Today they are operating from that same room with two more computers and two more employees. The Company is slowly spreading its wings to other places as well with the launch of ReachoutDelhi.com and ReachoutVijayawada.com . It is planning to have similar sites for all the metropolitan cities within a year which will be linked to a comprehensive Indian Portal, ReachoutIndia.com.

"For people like us in the dotcom business, office space is not at all a constraint. As long as there is enough space on the web and enough  space in our minds for creative ideas , there won't be any constraint," says Maju Kuriakose.

Most of the One-room Dotcom companies that we spoke to are likely to finalize their Venture capital funding within a month. Only when the money comes in that they plan to expand their operations in terms of both- Virtual and real space.
