Nischal ShettyMangalore, May 4, 2013:
As Bill Gates rightly said “Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for them”. Here’s someone who couldn’t agree more. Each one of us breeds entrepreneurial aspiration and Nischal Shetty is no stranger to that feeling. Most people after completing their bachelors ,normally settle for seven figures salary but Nischal Shetty (27) hailing from Moodbidri, but born and brought up in Navi Mumbai, represents the new generation of young talented professionals who gave up all that for the kick of being an entrepreneur.

A B.E.(Computer Science) degree holder from NMAMIT, Nischal’s creativity spoke for itself when he started justunfollow.com. It’s a god sent for all the Twitter users. It makes it a lot simpler to manage your twitter a/c ,it helps you track your followers and non followers, gain more features & followers and also makes it easier to have multiple accounts on twitter.And the best part is you don’t even have to download or install anything ,just sign up and you are halfway there.

It’s used by individuals and businesses around the world. Works great on mobile and excellent customer support service with over 2.5million users worldwide including a number of celebrities and business houses.

He’s certainly on his way to making it big as his team won the Best Emerging Tech Startup award for 2013 at Tech Sparks and was subsequently interviewed on "Young Turks", a TV show on CNBC TV18 that interviews young startup founders.

Before justunfollow.com, he was part of the core development team of burp.com(now acquired by Viacom 18) for which he also writes reviews. He is currently working out of Navi Mumbai. They’re a bootstrapped startup with enough money to hire employees without needing external funding. Seems like the world is his oyster.
