MySpace allows users to connect to everything that matters to them; their
music, celebrities, applications as well as their friends.
Q. How does MySpace India stand out among the other social networking
sites ?
HK: If you look at it, most of the other networking sites- Facebook,
Orkut etc are really social networks; they are utilities meant to connect people
to their friends, catch up with old friends, get new friends etc. MySpace is
mainly positioned as a social portal and it always has been. In India people are
used to having either social network or portals such as Yahoo. Myspace is in
between both of them, it allows users to connect to everything that matters to
them, their music, celebrities, applications as well as their friends. So unlike
other social networks, we spend a lot of time getting exclusive content and all
this is hosted on MySpace servers.

Q. What are the gadgets that you carry along with you on a regular basis?
HK: In terms of daily use, one thing that I can't be without is my
BlackBerry. I have got the Blackberry Curve, and wherever I go, I carry it with
myself. Other than that I don't really carry many gadgets alongwith, but
definitely my notebook, an HP Compaq, can be often seen with me. However, I dont
use it as much as I use my BlackBerry.
Q. What kind of a gadget setup do you have at your home ?
HK: I have a Sony Home theater system and a Samsung 42” LCD TV at home.
Being in an average flat in Mumbai, I can't really get a bigger TV, even if I
wanted to. You know the space constraints one has to get adjusted to while
staying in Mumbai. (Laughs)

that, at home it is the Home theatre system that I rely on for music.

HK: It has to be my Olympus digital camera, which I use quite
extensively.
Q. How do you stay connected to work while travelling ?
HK: I use my laptop with a wireless card to stay connected to work.
Otherwise it is my Blackberry, which anyways and always keeps me connected
irrespective of the geograpghical boundaries or other limitations.
Q. Which is the immediate next gadget you want to purchase?
HK: Currently, the one gadget that I am really looking forward to is the
Blackberry Bold.
Q. What is your indulgence ?
HK: My indulgence is food. I am a big foodie and I love cuisines from all
around the world. Every weekend I typically go out with my wife and friends and
try something really different-something that I haven't eaten before. Luckily,
Mumbai has a lot of food outlets and cuisines available from all around the
world. By the way I also love cooking.
