Who knows there must be some billion pages on the internet originating from some million sites. There are sites on every conceivable thing from details about ancient vimanas to how to grow fat. In this chaos of websites, how to come up with some website different from others?
We need to go back a bit in time somewhere in 2004, when one of us gestated the idea of Club Explore as an adventure club in the city of bangalore, directed at the students of various colleges in bangalore. The idea was to create a community of adventure enthusiasts, provide them with some basic training and then go out on weekend trips to close by destinations.
The club had a good response but could never see the light of the day. Why, u may ask. Each one of us dreamers stood on the typical cross road that life offers. Whether to choose between the safe haven of an MNC or risks and difficulties of a business?
With no experience and just a degree the idea took a back seat. Fortunately or unfortunately that only time will tell, the conceiver of club explore went on to join a very reputed chip design company in bangalore, while his friend went to join an reputed MBA school to enter the rat race some time in future and earn a comfortable income to make himself happy. Like the first love the thought of club explore never left the eyes. The MBA school grad made a business plan and sent across to various competitions but none of them showed appreciation for it.
Einstein had once quoted, 'Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.' We are no Einstein but then what the hell lets do it!!
And so the idea clicked in the head of the MBA school grad was the idea of the website and club explore merging together, and hence The Search came to an end…
