The men behind India's first Bitcoin exchange

http://www.business-standard.com/article/specials/the-men-behind-india-s-first-bitcoin-exchange-114100900750_1.html


After his stint at Hilton, Nikkam returned to India in 2013, intent on working in the Indian Bitcoin business. “I started searching online for Bitcoin activity or community in Bangalore and came across the India Bitcoin meet-up. That got me excited. I have been part of this movement ever since,” he says.

He met Vishwanath at one such meet-up and the two decided to set up a business in the crypto-currency. They launched Unocoin in December 2013 and, in less than a year, claim to have a membership of 3,000 registered users. Though the number of operators in India is small, the players say there have been 150,000 wallet downloads so far.

Benson, that was a lame question.

Why? I read through that article and it seemed riddled with some careless writing.

You came up with second lame question today. What happened to your common sense?
Seems like you've been working hard. Take a break! And fasten seat-belt to see foreign money at work.

Buysellbitco.in IS first bitcoin exchange in India Cheesy

As far as article concerns, well normally you never know what headline is coming in as that is solely decided by author. As far as facts about Bitcoin concerns, well, we know how lame Bitcoin awareness in India is.

In any case its good to get article on Business Standards and Unocoin deserves it.

@Benson INRBTC is for sure first exchange in India which allowed users to choose their own price. Thanks for mentioning them here.

Bitcoin is quicksand. No turning back. They might be working on something else stealth mode.
