- MMT stands at #5 with 112 votes.
Apart from the total number of votes (1000+ is not an easy number and I am sure market research companies will agree with me on that), what’s important is the fact about the quality of audience pluGGd.in reaches out to – mostly very tech savvy and early adopters/influencers in technology world.
Congrats to iXiGo team (read our first impressions of iXiGo when they launched in 2007)
Congratulations to iXigo .
We feel overwhelmed and would like to thank our users, supporters and evangelists for all their adulation !
This gives our team renewed belief and enthusiasm on building more killer products to solve your complex travel problems.
Cheers,

Ashish & folks at pluggd.in – Congratulations on your effort and the enthusiastic response you got! We are also quite pleased to be in the top 5 and to appear at no. 4. Thanks to all who voted and supported us.
We take the verdict with humility – knowing that we are still establishing ourselves and are yet to gain as much traction as some of the biggies, whom we are close to in this poll.
But I guess this poll kind of reflects, what the thought leaders (the early adopters of any technology) feel and I am particularly happy with the response that travel search has been getting, in India, with-respect to OTA. So congrats to all who have done well!
PS: I also promise on behalf or our team at 90di, that we shall also put in all our effort and will try not to lag much behind in solving the “complex travel problems” and building good products.
Hi Khushnood,
I travel by train most of the time. Sometimes I use both Flight & Train. Your service through http://www.90di.com/travel is really useful in many ways. To say in a few words about 90di, “It is Simply Superb!”.
Hope you will reach No.1 position soon.
All the best!
Thanks and regards,
