There are 2 kinds of startups. Those that are constantly in the news with their founders giving quotes, talking about funding rounds, and sharing their success mantras. Then there are others that work quietly in the background, without any hype or hoopla, but then burst onto the scene with news that leaves the ecosystem stunned. Media.net belongs very firmly to the latter category.

I agree and I respect more the "strong silent" type. Although this guy is not in that category. Seems pretty flashy to me.

yeah . he does sound flashy . those photos and lifestyle show ! But one thing I liked about these brothers is that they bootstrapped their companies in India. Those companies made some good money. This is very important because currently in India media covers wannabe steve jobs ..who get funding for shiy ideas , buy polish offices , hire too many people ,and burn all the funding in discount coupons.

He is flashy for sure, but Div is probably the only guy in the ads business, who runs a company this size and can still talk 'code' as good as the best engineers you know. They have a huge engineering setup in India and are one of the best paymasters. Though they do fly under the radar even in India.
