<title>MediaNama : Mobile2Win Merges With Chandigarh Based Altruist</title>

<description>Sorry &amp;#039;Ris&amp;#039; or whoever you are - you jump to conclusions ! M2w was a company with multiple investors and the original team members - Rajiv and GK very encouraging new investors to come in and retire us (Siemens and contests2win) just because we weren&amp;#039;t financial investors anymore.  Here is cherry on the cake- ICICI Venture and Nexus are investors in contests2win.com so post this sale and more importantly our sale of Mobile2win China to Disney in China, we declared and paid out a 1250% dividend at contests2win and paid out REAL money to investors.  I can assure you that Nexus and ICICI as well as ALL THE ESOP share holders of c2w were very very happy with the cash that came their way.  I also totally disagree with your concept of &amp;#039;holding on&amp;#039; forever - building a great company is a relay race - you run your part and hand the baton over. If there are co-founders and key team members, then entrepreneurs have all the rights to &amp;#039;take the money and run&amp;#039;  Look at the large strategic sales in Telecom, Pharma, even the recent Ad Gel Pens to Bic - all point in the same direction.  So, Ris, which companies did you create and sell in the end? </description>
