After speaking to Sumit Punjabi, the co-founder of TheHiringTool, we got a chance to meet their regional heads in India – Basu Aggarwal and Bhupesh at Proto – Bangalore edition earlier this year.

The interview targets their views on the effect of recession on companies which work in the hiring arena. TheHiringTool works on a b2b model unlike other hiring companies which have a b2c model.

Today we have an interesting startup with us called NextBitComputing. NextBitComputing develops and provides Intellectual property and solutions which help drive next generation Audio, video and data enabled Consumer Electronic, Broadcast and Handheld devices. I got a chance to interview the CEO and technical director of NextBitCpu, Mr. Vishal Borker.

What follows is a transcript of the interview; 

What is Next Bit Computing all about and how are you guys different from your competition?

NetxBiT was founded in July 2005 by Sameer (my younger brother, who had just finished his engineering) and me. We always had a fascination for electronic items as kids – taking apart radio sets and getting punished for it. When it was time to start a company, whats better than put together those kind of devices and make money (so long to the punishments!!).
