Yesterday was my last day at IonLab, the company that I built with a few friends. It has been a wild ride but I could continue no longer. I am leaving due to internal differences on the progress and transparency in the company. We have been well-supported in our experience, right from a Govt. of […]

Coming soon… TrackEveryCoin, a personal finance system
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. Amazon conducted a poll just before the start of the year 2009 asking people on what are their New Year Resolutions. The top two resolutions were (1) Lose Weight and (2) Get Your Finances in Order. What is strange is that you and […]
The new ION packaging
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. Today is the second birthday of our ION USB Charger and we are happy to announce that it is now available in a new and improved packaging! We needed some improvements to our packaging because: Our previous packaging did not have the product […]
What's in a name, indeed?
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. Vikram has written an interesting post on whether the name of a brand matters which got me thinking. I don’t think it’s that simple. I believe that Company name doesn’t matter. Product name matters. This is because the product’s name is not just […]
What we do at IONLAB
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. When I meet people and have a conversation, they eventually ask the question “So, what do you guys do?” I like to say “We make stuff” but that’s hardly understandable. The best example I like to give is the Swinxs (found via Springwise). […]
IONLAB – The Next Experiment
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. It’s been nearly 5 months since I last quit my job. Five months. Wow. It’s weird because it doesn’t feel that long. I spent most of the first few months whiling away, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did have some plans though. […]
Launch of ion2
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. Last week, we quietly relaunched ion, our USB charger. The very next day, we shipped ions to customers in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai. And an hour ago, I shipped one to Bhubaneswar. It’s good to be back! :-) First of all, thanks […]
Happy Birthday to ion
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. One year ago, on this day, we launched ion, the ipod charger. The launch was just one blog post. That’s it. Within two hours, Atul Chitnis bought the first ion in our online store. We celebrated. But hold on, let’s rewind the story […]
Vegetable 2.0
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. The other day, mom was telling me why she has completely switched from the traditional neighbourhood HOPCOMS (Horticultural Produce Cooperative Marketing Societies) outlet to the fresh@ store to buy the vegetables. I got curious and asked to explain. She mentioned several points: HOPCOMS […]
ion on a roll
Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009. First, there was the Mint financial newspaper’s article on “casualpreneurs” in the July 8th, 2007 edition which featured ion. FYI, Mint is a joint collaboration between the Hindustan Times and the Wall Street Journal. Then, there was an article in the BTW magazine’s […]
