Explara: Seeing startup in action is nirvana: Santosh Panda, founder Explara

On a cold wet January in 2008 in London, Santosh Panda was listening to the early morning news as usual. This was the South Asian radio channel SunRise, which most Asians listened to keep themselves abreast of the news from their countries and communities, as also to listen to Hindi Songs. That day Panda, then 33, was supposed to meet his eBay colleagues for lunch to bounce off startup ideas.
