Dear members,
These days everybody talks of startups & papers are full of them since last few years.

But should we not consider efloraofindia as a startup but not for profit, but to contribute for the welfare of the society. It was started in June, 2007, when probably most of us have not heard of the term startup.

Efloraofindia has been the meeting grounds of the brightest in India for years, who wanted to contribute their bit for the welfare of India.

My hats off to these brightest Stars of India who might have not contributed that many papers but chose this battleground to show their might at cost of individual achievements.

Aptly put up Garg Ji,

Efloraofindia is continuing its services which are accessible to everyone...we can be really proud of its achievements, and in times to come this platform will get the deserved recognition in terms of being a great startup in the field..
Salutes to founders, dedicated experts and contributors...!!
