Ajay Madhok - CEO, Equals
Posted by Nick O'Neill on April 4th, 2008 9:00 AMA few weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak with Ajay Madhok the CEO of Equals. Equals provides a number of services but the first service they are launching is group chat service that enables you to pull in any of your friends on a telephone conversation.
In simple terms, the application is meant to create a party line and integrate it through the social graph. The party lines are created via Facebook but you can access any of your party lines via mobile as well. This is really useful and could be leveraged by tele-commuting businesses that want to easily connect their teams together.
At the time of this recording I was not ready to launch this podcast and as such the application has already launched since this podcast was recorded. The application has approximately 1,500 daily users and considering that it is a utility based application I am surprised by its traffic. The application is really well developed and designed. If you’d like to create your own party lines for free go check out the Party Line application. Below is my interview with Ajay.
Also, I will begin doing weekly podcasts on this site which you can also access via iTunes. I have some really exciting speakers lined up so stay tuned as we begin interviewing the most influential people on the social web. Enjoy the podcast!

Congrats Nick on the podcast launch. I am particularly excited about seeing the ST logo on iTunes. So official looking.
Also, that the time is 22:22 (=44!) made me smile similarly.
Things I love in lights.
