Let Me Know!
Just as their by-line goes, they have succeeded in “breaking the information barrier” to a considerable extent. Let Me Know, also an investee venture of Unltd India, is a platform where one has access to several opportunities in the fields of Technology, Business, Art and Culture, Social Innovation, and Entrepreneurship. So you may ask, why Let Me Know? The answer lies in the previous sentence – the very diverse range of fields in which you can find opportunities through this portal. The idea of browsing through scores of them in one place, as opposed to the arbitrary Google searches and surfing – which could be a shot in the dark – is certainly a big plus.
Let Me Know was founded in November 2007 by Nitin Rao a young Indian, aspiring to be a successful entrepreneur. The idea for the portal itself was born from a paper presented by Rao at the London School of Business in 2007. The need to help the Indian youth find appropriate avenues, combined with a passion for social entrepreneurship has resulted in Let Me Know, and it has been a boon for thousands of young Indians ever since.
How do they work?
The team at Let Me Know gathers information from Event Organizers, and also has a dedicated student team that works conscientiously to scout for opportunities in colleges. Through this vast network, they have been able to post thousands of opportunities for young Indians to grab.
By using tools like Google Friend Connect and SMS alerts, they have succeeded in connecting more and more youngsters in the three years of their operation.
What they have done so far?
One of the initiatives in 2009 was the Internship Madness Fiesta, during which there were a lot of internship opportunities posted on this site. Many students benefited from this rewarding initiative, and what’s more, they helped by sharing these opportunities with more students.
When you navigate through their website you are immediately struck by the simplicity and effectiveness that you see. Neatly categorized, you can view opportunities in the field of your choice, or you can view them all. They have a “Deadlines” tab as well, which is extremely useful when you want to quickly remind yourself of when something is due.
The popularity of this young team is very evident in the number of students vouching for them on the site’s blog, and the number of fans they have on social networking sites.
