Jhanki.com Helps Young Man to Realize ‘Laptop’ Dream

Anish Nair, 24, a young graphic designer based in Pune, had been dreaming of owning a computer of his own, that would help him to sharpen his professional skills and work out of home. When Jhanki.com announced a contest in September, with a laptop being the first prize, Anish decided to try his hand, and with all his enthusiasm.

The contest involved using the Jhanki online news sharing community to its full potential, by adding the maximum number of news stories, and also adding quality stories, that would receive the most ‘Jhankis’ from others. When the contest results were announced on 15th November, Anish Nair was awarded the first prize. The HP Compaq laptop was given away today to Anish Nair, by Suhasini Kirloskar of Jhanki.

The first working prototype of the $100 Laptop is unveiled at the Seven Countries Task Force Meeting, 23 May 2006.
