Press Release Summary = The bug of entrepreneurship is doing rounds in Bangalore,
India. One great startup is www.photomasti.com, which enables NRIs(Non Resident
Indians) to stay in touch with family and friends back home.

Press Release Body = The bug of entrepreneurship is doing rounds in the IT capital
of India, Bangalore. Engineers and Management graduates are quitting their high
flying day jobs to try their hands at innovative businesses. Topping the list are
internet ventures targeted at the local or global Indian community.

One such start up is an online venture started by Alok Jain, who is a management
graduate and has recently returned to India from USA. This service,
www.photomasti.com, is targetted at the 20 million strong Non Resident Indian
community and aims at strengthening their ties with India. PhotoMasti enables NRIs
to share and send their digital prints to family and friends back home.

This is a service similar to the likes of Snapfish, Ofoto etc which serves the US
market. Alok, who pursued higher studies in the US, says, \"Indians, by nature, have
a strong family bonding. The urge to be close to their family and friends at all
times is very strong. Our service will help them do just that, no matter how far
they are from the country.\"

PhotoMasti\'s features are comparable to the best in the industry. They provide
unlimited storage of photos, free sharing, a bulk upload tool and free prints to
those who want to try out the service. Also, customers enjoy the benefits of very
low shipping costs as the photos are developed and shipped from Bangalore.

Bangalore is yet to experience a start up fever witnessed by Silicon valley in
2000-01. But the ball seems to be rolling in the right direction. Bangalore has the
right kind of talent and business atmosphere for start ups to thrive. Venture
Capitalists have observed this trend and are setting up offices in the IT Capital.

\"India is all set for an Internet boom,\" pointed out Alok. \"We should see a large
number of Internet start ups in the coming years. Most of us are relying on self
funded, low cost start-ups but the bigger picture should emerge in a couple of
years,\" he said.
