The alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay (IIT-B) are to launch a social networking project supported by the e-cell, reported the Times of India.

The project, Lifeinlines, will allow people to stay in touch with friends and keep track of their life. Cyrus Vesvikar, IIT-Bombay e-cell media manager said, "E-cells would just conduct workshops, and motivation lectures and business plan competitions. For the first time, we are going out of the way to launch a startup of our alumni." He also claimed that the institute is the only e-cell in the country, and possibly in the world, to support the launch of a business, and is redefining the concept of an entrepreneurship cell.

Lifeinlines, started by the institute alumni Ankur Gattani and Manindar Gulati, allows users to upload photos and respond to posts from cellphones. The website also enables recording, sharing and talking with people in ones’ network through various other channels. X
