DNA has this to say about Picsquare: “Banking on the sentiments of Indians who hold family albums very dear, two techies, both graduates from IIT Bombay, have launched Picsquare, a website that will print and deliver digital photos posted on it anywhere in the country.”
This Bangalore-based startup is founded by Manish Agrawal, a mechanical engineer, and Kartik Jain, a chemical engineer. Both Agrawal and Jain resigned from corporate jobs to start the venture. They own savings, along with help from a few angel investors, helped get things started. Now, it is being “incubated” by the Bangalore chapter of The Indus Entrepreneurs.
Picsquare was selected from among 10 contestants in the TiE Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program that aims to foster businesses by a creating an ecosystem similar to the one in Silicon Valley.
I got a chance to meet the founders in person in Bangalore. In this interview, they talk about how they got to found the company, their revenue models and their plans for the future. Webyantra also has a review of PicSquare service.

Ahaan!! well in recent past, n number of sites have come up on the same idea. I think the strength lies in the value added services any of these sites can provide. Well, www.itasveer.com seems to be promising, and i am waiting if they could come up with something new.

Guys, check out www.zoom.in. I am a fan of this site. Simple and straightforward and great prints. I mean some of my professional photographs came out even better than I expected.
Snapfish from HP also got launched recently so I took a shot with them too. Ended up getting digital prints ( these don’t seem to be on photograhic paper and seem lke HP Photo paper)
I am not a big expert but the quality was certainly below par.
Will keep going to different sites and checking out services but for now I think http://www.zoom.in gets my vote
