Activ Mobs in the news today

We're ready to get serious

Activ Mobs now has 30,000 registered users. Traffic is now 1.5 million SMS text messages every month. And all this in eight months, with no publicity and very basic equipment. And only within Karnataka state.

The Activ team is now certain that Mobs is an idea which will work. Once we've upgraded to the right infrastructure and go national, we expect to scale to 50 million messages a month nationally inside of six months.

That's 1.6 million text messages reaching educated, upwardly mobile people, every day. The opportunity is clear.

Activ is now looking for investors to help us reach this goal. If you're interested, please do contact us by e-mail at rahul@inactiv.com

We are flying again

ActivMobs is up and running.

Keep Mobbing.

Good News/Bad News

Good News First

We are inches away from 20000 user mark. Added a new number: 9844124536

And now the BIG BAD NEWS

Our numbers have been blocked by the telecom operator. Are trying real hard to fix this issue. Please bear with us. ACTIV WILL BE DOWN IN THE MEANTIME.

Definitely no donuts for the operator :)

Activ Mobs at Barcamp Bangalore 3.0

Barcamp is one of the coolest tech conferences I've ever been to. Barcamp 2.0, which happened in December last year blew me away; both the people and the topics were absolutely amazing. Barcamp Bangalore 3.0 is happening at IIMB on March 31st and April 1st (Saturday and Sunday), so try to be there because it's totally worth it.
We'll be talking about Activ Mobs on Saturday and will be there for the full duration of the event as attendees, so feel free to catch us there. We're looking forward to talking to you guys face-to face and getting your feedback and suggestions first-hand. Keep mobbing!

Oh, and we've hit 9000 users, so yeah, baby, you guys rock!
