Message from the CEO


I hope you are doing well. First of all, I wanted to thank those individuals who have contributed to my campaign and/or volunteered for my campaign. You are my true friend and you can count on my help anytime. In the last six months after elections, we were trying to reorganize ourselves and focus our energies on something which could produce greater outcome to us, our customers, consumers and society at large.

Our company has been in existence for 10 years now. We had an incredible journey and I am proud of the following accomplishments:

  • Created over 220 Jobs in the last 10 years
  • Helped build 6 companies & mentored several dozen entrepreneurs
  • Built 13 Products from scratch & sold 4 of them successfully
  • Received numerous Awards/Recognition
  • Ranked twice in Local Giving by Washington Business Journal 2009 & 2010 (5th & 46th)
  • Opened up all our source code to many Techies to build their own applications
  • Assisted over 100 Non-Profits in the last 10 years

We have had a lot of challenges in the last 2 years, but were still able to stay creative & dedicated decent resources to build technology which benefited many consumers & citizens. We conceptualized/designed/developed/maintained/enhanced the following applications:

  • Built 1st ever application which connected citizen with elected officials in 2000 (www.statedemocracy.org)
  • Built 1st ever voter registration application for County Executive Candidate in 2002
  • Built 1st ever voter registration and absentee ballot application in 2004
  • Built Crime Tracking tool in Prince George’s county in 2006 (www.crimeblotter.org)
  • Built the only application which allowed Democrats to lobby super delegates (www.lobbydelegates.com) in 2008
  • Built www.golfflyover.com in 2008 and mapped 14,000 golf courses in about 6 months
  • Built www.pgballot.com (2010). Allows citizens to make their own sample ballot
  • Built an iPhone Application for Marylanders to find polling location, confirm their voter registration & check on the status of absentee ballot application

We are a smaller company due to realignment in 2009 & 2010. We also carved specialized services and passed on the ownership to couple of our key team members. Our primary focus for 2011 is as follows:

  • Launch www.sendwithme.com in late April 2011
  • Launch www.ridetheway.com in late May or early June 2011
  • Team up with entrepreneurs & small companies
  • Look for new ideas & opportunities
  • Stay innovative, nimble & relevant

We will continue to keep you updated fortnightly or monthly updates via email. Lately, we are leveraging social networks and perhaps, you can get connected with me on the following social networks:

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this message and we are committed to serving our neighbors, helping our customers, empowering our employees & fellow entrepreneurs. The last two years have been the hardest and it taught us very valuable lessons and we were lucky to have some amazing individuals who were on our side and we hope that companies like us will play their role to provide better services and solutions and create jobs, opportunities & wealth in 2011.


Thank you and have a terrific day.
