Unabridged Version : So I return to India for my summer break from Newcastle University to reunite with my friends and we decide that it is the right time to bulid a company that will find and nurture the talents all over India. Current situation here is that we are becoming tools of outsourcing. The jokes that get cracked in my class in the University whenever there is a talk about cheap outsourcing is that Indians would be willing to do it. Our long term goal in starting this business up is to change this state, hunt for talents in designing and engineering all over India and give them a platform to build world class projects. Here we go.
Give a shout out on Twitter about us or Like our Facebook page to support this mission. Thanks a lot in advance for all our supporters ;)
Really nice. Only thing I would change is adding a bit more left/right padding to your nav buttons. The white background behind your nav buttons looks pretty tight to me.
@Edokoa Don't think Rdio was the first to bring the dotted world map. Here are a few results from Google We used a plane vector map from the web, used a custom made dot pattern and then adjusted the contours so that there is no half circles.
And hopefully pay them the money they rightfully deserve!
I very much like the idea. Even I have cracked similar jokes, I have to admit (and I'm sorry for that)! But after seeing how much incredibly talented designers there are, and how they are used for what pretty much equals slavery, I am very glad to hear someone's trying to do something about it. Even if the living costs are lower in India, that doesn't mean talented people shouldn't get paid what their "global going rate" of sorts is.
@Prathyush Pramod I love the website but I do say one thing its bit of inspired from Rdio :) lol over all the designs looks great so far.. just one cent you should work on menu a bit. its looks snazzy :(
@Prathyush Pramod I found one bug on live website when you click on team link you dont redirect to their but instead of team page I got contact page? is it right or its done intensionally? :)
@Prathyush Pramod sorry I just saw my comment and it seems Ipad corrected the words itself.. what i was trying to say was when you click on team page the information you see is contact information is that correct or its a bug?

One question. Why are you using Rdio's map? http://www.rdio.com/
Is it a pre-made map? I thought it was custom-designed for them...

On a second look I see that it's not pixel by pixel the same, but it's still the same...
