ThinkingSpace Technologies was founded in 2007 by Saurabh Jain, Gaurang Sinha and Rishi Agarwal - three former classmates from the MES College of Engineering, Pune.
ActiveCiti - a no nonsense event planning tool was their first product after which they delved into Product Engineering projects - "RSVPIndia" and "I'm in TV".
RSVPIndia is an extremely simple, India centric RSVP application while "I'm in TV" is a niche social networking website for TV professionals around the world and was commissioned by clients in the UK.
During this time, they also launched their professional event management application called EventAZoo which is currently in a private, invitation only beta.
In short, ThinkingSpace Technologies is in the business of writing clean, simple and easy to use software.

| Why is this startup hot? |

We write shamelessly simple software.
In this world of extremely cluttered, confusing, bloated, need-100-clicks-to-get-basic-tasks-done software products, we strive (and very hard at that) to keep things squeaky clean and simple.
We solve real life problems that we face ourselves and with a generous helping of technology, try to solve traditional problems in a cleaner, quicker and easier way. Being an extremely young team with strong technical backgrounds, we empathize with our end users immediately and feel their pain - which goes a long way in delivering what is expected of us.
We are always experimenting and improving ourselves - and our products are a testimony to that. We take great pride in what we do and settle for nothing but the best we can offer.
Being an extremely small, young, agile team, we work and play hard - building great software at the same time and that's what makes us a cool startup!

| What keeps the team awake at night? |
Loads of things keep us awake at nights. The top 5 reasons climbing our charts right now are:
1. Research. (Finding out the best way to do something.)
2. Writing code to get an exciting feature out ASAP.
3. Animated ideating sessions - figuring out what to do next (and how to do it).
4. Squashing bugs, optimising servers and analysing usage statistics.
5. Catching the late night show of a movie we missed over the weekend
5.1 Late night counterstrike and monopoly sessions |
