Neil Mody

Taking pride in being a connector, Neil Mody sold his first startup nRelate, after which the number of requests to meet grew up and became unmanageable. While speaking about content discovery, he states that ” When publishers first embraced content recommendation links, the promise they held was the ability to provide readers with an element of seamless navigation and content discovery that search engines couldn’t.

However, over time, the objective moved beyond serving up additional related content, and space has increasingly become more of an ad network with publishers monetizing the top of a sales funnel. This is ultimately causing the space to shift from content discovery to content disruption-driven by a single goal to increase clicks.”  He came up with a new technology called SpareMin in order to redress this problem so that people could broadcast notifications of their availability during open pockets of their crowded schedules. Mody’s attempt has led to commendable results and in this progress-obsessed age, he is the one trying to take back control of time.
