If this service is of indian origin,then i must say that it won’t disappoint any guy from the US or anywhere else.
The UI looks cool and few innovations are really good.
A cluster of improvements & right marketing in the social media can definitely make this product a hit all over the world.
the founders must re-think over the domain name.(it’s a bit complex and lacks international appeal)They can get much suited options in domain name for such a service.
