Abstract

In the year 1995 a group of professionals formed a company called Probity Research & Services Pvt Ltd at circa. The name was later changed to India Infoline.

The main objective of this company is to provide unbiased and independent information to market intermediaries and investors. The quality of research soon caught the imagination of all major participants in the financial market. In span of 2 to 3 years the client list read like the who's who of the Indian financial market. The list includes consulting firms like CRISIL, D&B, FIS, FIIS, foreign brokers as well as leading Indian brokers. The going was smooth but not exciting.

In the year 1999 they decided and started that if the company made all the research available free on the web, the number of users may well jump from 250 to 2.5 millions.

The idea was too compelling to worry about the consequences. Probity took a whole hearted plunge. The advertisement, alongside said it all. The new avatar business model took off. And it took like a rocket. All employees, angel investors and well wishers were ecstatic. Little did they know that the rocket would run out of fuel in mid air? Venture capitalists and private equity investors lined up to sign term sheet. India infoline raised $ 1million in the first round at the peak of dotcom euphoria around March 2000 and raised $ 5million.
