Thanks. Indeed a lot of hard work has gone into the initial stages when there were only two people working, Deena as product and design and me as a techie. And hard work still continues. And glad to see that our clarifications saved further degeneration.
I am Sarvjeet Ahuja, on which this whole thread started. Want to clarify the following:
- Me and Deena are known to each other for many years
- I did the initial coding without being the co-founder and executed it as a services business
- I built the product with Java(Struts2, Hibernate, MySQL) and worked on it single handedly for few years.
- Lately, when we started getting some traction, we decided to persue it together full time, by taking equity and to work as a co-founder and CTO of the company
- We got the first terms sheet when I was the co-founder of the company. Someone has given the link to TMT investments, which is correct.
- Due to some difference on how to grow the company (particularly some investors were against me being in India), we decided to separate. The entire discussion was initiated by me and I am the one responsible for split.
- Deena is a wonderful entrepreneur and I have very high regards for her. And I am proud of what Wanelo has become. Entire credit goes to her.
- Constantin is an awesome Engineer and the current team of Wanelo is killer. They have done a phenomenal job and much better than I could have done it.
- I am currently working as a general partner with The Morpheus, kind of YC of India.
- I still hold a fraction of percent in the company.
Hope that clarifies everything. Please stop making un-necessary comments against her and stop digging the past.
