IMO, this new site could be helpful for the 'Startup Ecosystem' in India.

HN community has been absolutely wonderful all these years, but for startups every geographical region brings in its own set of challenges. If we need to spur on the innovation and startup culture in India, we would have to connect and help each other out whenever required.

For example, check out this link - http://hackernews.in/item?id=182

I never knew about some of these startups and especially who are the folks behind it. This thread would obviously have got lost had it been posted here.

I see the new site's value in setting up a platform for collaboration amongst hackers/entrepreneurs of India. It cannot replace HN for me, but can be a useful add-on forum.
