Some friends of mine actually created a new account so they could comment. I really don't think I'll opt for a negative publicity by trying to make fake accounts and _then_ promote my business.
If you do suspect I have been doing it go take a look at the IP addresses if you like. I don't know how else to prove it.
In fact I do have two accounts on HN (n9986 and 9circuits), I didn't even use that to up vote. This post was honestly viral as it got re tweeted by friends and their friends.
My aim to get some positive feedback ended up with this.
Anyhow, doesn't matter now that this has been down voted to oblivion.
You should link to a bunch of tutorials. Will help people who are just starting out. Maybe give a combo offer on the items mentioned in the tutorial too :)
Congrats. Never thought someone would decide to service this very niche market in India
What kind of hardware hacking culture exists in the area currently? It is my perception (which is not to say right) of New Delhi as an software outsourcing center that doesn't do much hardware.
Almost everyone here into electronics (or able to use internet) can read English.Can't give exact figures but its one of the most widely used languages here.
The audience for tis website would be more comfortable in English than in Hindi. All the major publications in India are in English. English is more popular in some Indian states than even Hindi.
English in some ways brings Indians together more than Hindi. :-)

Good idea. I will get a Wiki going soon. Thankfully the Arduino community has produced many wonderful tutorials which I could link to as well.
