Desi TV show uses Yahoo
By Techgirl

Over the years, Techgoss has published a number of exclusive human interest photos with some IT, BPO, KPO and Telecom links to the images.  These include:

-In July, 2010, during our first Photo Competition, Techgoss had published exclusive photos of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg attired in Indian clothes and dancing at a wedding in India.  This photo was republished by a number of popular blogs including Gawker, Pluggdin and others.

-Sometime back, a Tipster sent in photos of the marriage ceremony for Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia.

-In Feb, 2011, as part of our last photo competition, our exclusive photo of the Facebook shop in Mumbai went viral

And there were many more including one of Infosys branded samosas being sold in Pune.  Techgoss had also published a photo of Nokia branded underwear being sold in India. We have also received a photo showing Vodafone branded track suits being sold in street bazaars. Every major western brand and Trademark has been used (misused?) without getting official permission.

Techgoss reader Mr. Kumar, who is based in South India, switched on his TV to see a reality show named "Yahoo with Prabhakar” being broadcast by Gemini TV (a group of Sun network).  This reality show is loosely based on ‘Koun Banega Karotpathi" and in this show the Creative Director Prabhakar asking general knowledge and movie relation questions.  Officially, this show has no collaboration with American online giant Yahoo.

Rs. 1000 will be sent to Mr. Kumar for sending in the photo.

Do you have such human interest photos as well?  For really exclusive photos we will pay you Rs. 5000, for most you will get a minimum of Rs. 1000. Anonymity guaranteed if you prefer your name is not used with the photo.
