What is UpRoot.in ?

A simple website to post classifieds online for free, it has been exclusively created for Indian users, and covers all districts in the country (600+).

Everything about the site is geared towards simplicity, including:

·         the look — very few graphics + dynamic interface

·         The operational model — zero intervention between seller and buyer is our policy.

What is it not?

While making the site, one path we did not tread (nor intend to tread) is social networking. They will add more features in the future to facilitate collaboration between groups of users. But they don’t expect it to become a core feature of the site. The reason is — keeping things simple for everyone, in particular the average or internet newbie’s.

Uproot.in is the first baby from the Uproot Labs, Belgaum. Uproot labs are a gargantuan team of two Harshad Joglekar & Dr Ameet Patil who know each other from college days. After a “long time, no see” span of 10 years, they met over Orkut, and found that they both had an urge to start a company from our hometown, Belgaum. Dr.Ameet Patil also runs his own startup Spundhan which has already been featured on this blog.

Uproot has been designed by both as they have major experience in system software, particularly embedded system software. They are trying something new; web services. They shoulder equal responsibilities. They both design, code, make decisions with equal flair.

They chose Belgaum as it has its own set of advantages & disadvantages. But the advantages are now out marking the latter with the advent of internet.

 

They chose to develop their own web framework; a tailor made suit that fits needs, and is optimized for performance.

 

They also plan to have key partnerships with other sites for the content and AllAboutBelgaum was the first one to approach them in this regard and a feed only for Belgaum is here.
 So all the ads you post under Belgaum will be coming up there automatically. (Collective growth of It & ITeS services in Belgaum)

 

In the longer term they aim to monetize from premium Ads on the website. The core functionality will always remain free.

Here are some of the features of UpRoot.in

Categories

While posting an Ad the user is required to select the most relevant category. This in turn helps people to quickly and easily find what they need. Care has been taken to include the most common categories the users will encounter in their daily life.

Ads that offer and Ads that want

Broadly speaking, every Ad has either something to offer to the viewer, or wants something from the viewer. It is specified during the creation of an Ad, and helps viewers to quickly find items that offer or want something from them.

Specifying the location

Viewers can choose to filter their Ads depending on the physical location. One can choose a specific city, a state or all locations in India.

Privacy

They are very concerned about your privacy and take it very seriously.

There is an in-built mechanism to contact users, without needing to divulge either the seller’s or buyer’s contact information until each party voluntarily chooses to do so.

Membership

Users/Visitors to the site can view/search all advertisements without requiring to login. However, to protect your privacy, you required you register as a member in order to post a new or respond to an Ad.

Membership on Uproot.in is absolutely FREE, and requires just a confirmation of your email address. You can choose your own profile-name aka avatar.

 

 

If readers are interested in working on exciting embedded and web technologies, they can send their profile description / resume to jobs@uproot.co.in

 

This is another paradigm of what two minds from a same city can do together professionally. Here it is not friendship but professional caliber and an urge to do something of your own. Both Harshad & Dr.Ameet have worked in different companies who paid them handsomely, but they always wanted to be their own BOSS.

All the best to the Duo. 

Belgaum IT expo 09: your place to be for IT products

IT, IT and IT, two small words but with a huge knowledge base, all of you have heard about IT expo being held in so many cities, many of you must have gone there and now your chance to be a part of it in Belgaum at the Millennium Gardens on 25TH,26TH,27TH JAN 2009.
This event is being organized by “Concept Exhibitors, Hubli” and “Rotary Club of Venugram-Belgaum”. Concept Exhibitors have already proved their expertise in organizing IT Events by successfully orchestrating First Ever ITEXPO@Hubli-Dharwad.
This IT EXPO-09 is focused on creating the end customer awareness about various IT products available today under one roof. From the past as many years of IT selling in Belgaum, there have been a lot of single brand IT events/carnivals/road shows organized which concentrate on only one particular brand. This decreases the public influx as people loyal only to that brand visit.
In ITEXPO-09 all the major brands will be at the customer disposal to choose from and decide. The customer can have a hand on experience with all brand products and discuss about product features and pricing in detail with the company representatives. All the participants will fight tooth and nail to sell their respective products on the basis of quality and competitive price. It is up to the company representative to sell his product X to a customer who is loyal to a brand Y. The whole concept of multi brand exhibit will increase the public influx to a huge extent.The core focus of ITEXPO-09 will be on Notebooks and desktops apart from awareness about WiFi technology as the entire event will be in a WiFi Network. The event will also have stalls for display of notebook accessories, Software and computer components. There will be a stall for customers seeking finance options and computer furniture.
The event will have a LCD Projection at the centre of the Hall which will run the entire participant companies profiles in a cyclic manner during the duration of the event. The customers will be educated as to what are the latest technologies.
All in all, ITEXPO-09 aims to bridge the gap between the customer and the companies and create a win-win situation for both.
