My name is Rajiv Renganathan from Bangalore, India. I am an active blogger and keep interest in photography, adventure & chess. I made DealMaadi.com because: Shoppers have wider options like never before - Modern & organised retail in India is taking off in a big way, Banks are showering offers and takeaways in credit cards, Broadband is adding life to e-commerce. To make hay in the sunshine, shoppers need to be smart to search and make the right purchase in the right place at the right time. With DealMaadi.com, I hope to nurture a user community to share and mutually benefit from these opportunities. Feel free to get in touch with me: rajiv@rajspace.net or use the contact form.
