Moka5


Through out my high school days I often used to admire a classmate of mine who was absolutely brilliant.  Though from a  very humble  family this guy went on to score a state rank in inter, headed to IIT, a masters from Urbana Champagne and a Phd from Standford. Lately I came to know he and a couple of his friends from Stanford started a company addressing the PC Virtualization for consumer market. In lay terms imagine  being  able to  carry  your complete laptop environment  (Windows OS, your applications like office, browser etc)  on a  pen drive or  even a  iPod. When you need to use it just plug the portable device to any computer be it PC, MAC or Linux and vola you have your familiar environment. Incase you lose your portable device you can just recopy the environment pack from home computer and you have all the environment back no re-installs to worry about.
The nice thing is that one of the angel funding is by Vinod Khosla of Silicon Valley. With very limited players and a huge market to tap into, I am sure it will be huge success.

Here is the link for Ramesh Chandra's company called Moka5:
