Welcome to Deepak Shenoy's Web Site

Well, Hello! Welcome to my site. You obviously came here with a reason, and that reason is not very likely to be about seeing what I look like. But then it just might, so I'm going to show you what I look like.

This is me, unshaven, content and practically carefree. Pretty much the way I want to live the rest of my life. Unfortunately that isn't possible. So I'm going to have to sweat it out I guess, and shave every once in a while. But otherwise, I'm pretty much looking to retire and get on with life in a very quiet, boring sort of way.

So who am I? You've got a name (hint: Deepak Shenoy), but what else?

I am a co-founder and CEO at Moneyoga.com, an online startup providing stock market analytics and investment strategies. Essentially, we'll talk about how you can make money.

My last job was with Flovate Technologies, a BPM Software Company located in UK and India. I was the Chief Executive at the India office till July 2007. WNS acquired FLOvate in June 2007.

I used to work at Agni Software, a company I co-founded in 1998. I left in 2005, but Agni still carries the torch forward.

For more on what I do for a living, who I know and in general, to not have to write everything all over again: My linkedin profile.

I do a whole lot of other things, some of which includes writing. I like to write. It's not fancy, it's just irrelevant ramblings about some of the things I see, get influenced by and in general, get inspired to write about. Read more about where I write

There are a number of online sites and clubs and networking spots that I have plonked myself on. I've been invited to some, and I've gathered the courage to get into others. Check out my online presence.

Say hello to Varun!

Sunila and I are now parents! Sunila delivered on 14th February 2007 - yes, Valentine's day and the most wonderful present ever - say hello to Varun Shenoy!

It's just wonderful to have a child - he is absolutely adorable! We're all very excited, and it shows by the number of exclamation marks in this paragraph! Wish us luck!

Where I write

The Articles Section

Read all my articles - technical, investment or otherwise.

The Investor Blog

This blog is about investing in India. I speak about stock markets, Insurance, mutual funds, and other general investment related links. What I originally intended was to create a site for all sorts of investors. And then it morphed into my idea for a startup: Moneyoga.com

Stock markets in India are evolving - and already there is enough action out there to make it attractive for some of us to learn to make an income from it. I intend to tell you how, when and why.

Tropical Manager

This blog is about managing and building a business in India. This blog contains information about recruitment, planning, strategy, management and also has dilbertish terms but hopefully not in the pointy haired way.

The Unknown Indian

This is a blog about arbitrary things that catch my attention.

If you're looking for pathbreaking efforts to save humankind and a single person's resolve to change the world, this is not the place for you.

If you're looking for very objective analysis and non biased reporting of events, this is not the place for you.

If you're looking for a budding writer who can paraphrase so well that the words jump right out of the page and swirl around your head, enchanting the very depths of your soul, electrifying it with invigorating passion, revitalising your body with a tingling sensation down your back that you wonder if this is real or magic, and in general writing that would win the booker prize if Mr. Booker could bloody read, this is not the place for you.

If you are looking for a little bit of laughter and have a ton of time on your hands, this might be the place for you. The nearest pub might also be the place for you.

And if you're buying, for me too.
