Will an Indian clone of an international hit take off in India? That’s what we ask MeraVideo.com’s founder, Kanwaldeep Kalsi whose site is a direct clone of YouTube.com.
MeraVideo was recently in the news for being close to signing up venture funding of $1.5 million. We ask Kanwaldeep about his company’s revenue model and its chances of success.
Kalsi is an IIT Delhi graduate and has eight years of experience in managing projects of approximately $30M in the United States and India, in a broad range industries including entrepreneurial capacity. Kanwaldeep has sufficient experience in the IT sector and has been involved with a lot of projects on web-site development and hosting.
Kanwaldeep successfully founded a television production company and has already produced two shows on STAR TV and SONY. Kanwaldeep’s principal role is to provide overall supervision and strategic direction to the group.

There is a new site which looks better than meravideo called www.connectfilms.com is in the pipeline. according to rumours this site is developed by a media company in UK. Well known executives from Channel 4, ITV of UK are backing this website. Overall the site looks very pretty. Looking forward to see what new features are they going to bring in the new years.

[…] If you are going to copy a successful website, at least do a good job at it. Don’t buy a $300.00 script, change some tabs around, and call it MeraVideo. And then lie about how you are “about to get a $1.5 Million dollar VC investment” which is obviously a cheap publicity attempt. Kanwaldeep Kalsi, the CEO of Mera Video quoted in a podcast that “they are in talks with many investors” which I thought was rather amusing. No one in their right mind would invest in MeraVideo. […]

Don’t be bitter. If Kanwal… wants to put up a site, good for him. Who cares if he looks stiff in a suit? I can across another site that seems to take itself a little less seriously called www.toad.in. I wish them well too. After all, we all like to watch.

Meravideo downloads spyware into your computer, Google says site may harm computer,..so there is definitely more than a 300$ script..there is a secret revenue strategy …!!
