Having read your interview at the microsoft bizspark site, I am now curious as to what your orginal business plan was. If you dont mind sharing!!

Hi Adtya, sorry for the delayed answer. I did buy the domain "Lokad.com" after a meeting at the Entrepreneurship Club of the INSEAD thinking about a business where local ads would be delivered through networked digital screens located in bars, queue lines in movie theaters, cheap restaurants, ... Intuitively, the idea was that at some point in a not-so-distant future, delivering ads the digital way would be cheaper than traditional paper prints, because you need no manpower to "update" your ads. After a while, we did give up the idea because of the huge investments that would have been needed to kick-off such a business. Then, I started a software forecasting project, and the domain name was recycled for that purpose.
