Sabeer Bhatia, founder of Hotmail, who was in India recently to launch his India-centric ventures, took time to meet with IMRB and discuss information-based consultancy that IMRB could provide through its specialist group for e-businesses, the eTechnology Group@IMRB.

Focusing first on B2B opportunities to be followed with B2C ventures, Mr. Bhatia sat through a presentation by IMRB�s eTechnology group on the kind of work that has already been undertaken on the Indian market. He was particularly impressed by IMRB�s syndicated study on the Internet market opportunities �Internet.In.India� now in its third round since inception.

IMRB is in active dialogue with Mr. Bhatia�s Indian partners and are working towards assisting them with knowledge and insights on the Indian market gained through several years of technology research.
