The best among this list is http://www.IndiaStudyChannel.com. What makes it different is:

1. It is an educational website with lot of social networking features.

2. Members earn revenue from Google AdSense while they spend their time in that site.

So, it is a social networking site with revenue opportunities and educational value.

I feel the battle of social networks in India will come down to 2 networks: Facebook and Orkut. All others will be a also ran or employ a struggling strategy of building temporary “user accounts” through spamming popular social networks.
Orkut is in danger and faces from an outsider – Facebook which seems to be gaining more momentum day by day. With products like Apps, FriendConnect, etc Facebook is kind of grabbing market share, although it is slightly overshadowed by Orkut due to lack of any aggressive branding or strategy by facebook (who I am guessing is taking a hands off apporach for Facebook India for now at least)
I wish India start-ups aim for something out of the box and reach out to a global audience. Products like Twitter, Meebo, Facebook, etc coming out of India will be the day India is on the global map and is recognized instead of being relegated to a “background-services oriented” country

2 things about the promotion
- Invite concept !!!!! are you kidding ?
would I wait to get an invitation or simply log into orkut/fropper/hi5 ………. 1000+ etc………
had they followed 4 years back, people would have had some curiosity left to give it a look

- url simplicity
http://in.spotm.yahoo.com/welcome
I am gonna googleit everytime I login

How many of you remember yahoo’s professional networking site !! it starts with KICK and ends with START
