The way we educate our kids hasn't changed a lot in centuries. MOOCs are great but completion rate is a real and yet unsolved problem.
I believe the biggest advancement in the field of education is going to come with VR. With VR, we can dramatically reduce the cost of "learning while doing", which should be the only way of learning. With AI, we can provide highly personalised paths for learners.
VR and AI technologies are finally coming to a point where together they can provide a breakthrough in industries which are mostly untouched since decades.
Flatchat lets you connect with potential flatmates, prospective owners and other seekers to group with by providing you with location and requirement based matches.
We are growing ~100% month on month, backed by India's largest real estate website Commonfloor.com(http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/30/flatchat/), a small development team based out of Bangalore, India trying to change accommodation search.

I also feel that algorithm based recommendation services are not going to be better than humans at least for a long time. Algorithms can recommend related stuff well(?) but that's not enough as our tastes keep changing and as you said they don't take risk.
I am thinking of building a radio like service where the playlist is curated by people listening to it. Do you think it's worth building? Any other inputs you'd like to add?

Likes to take ownership of the projects I work on. I have done a lot of competitive programming during college. Recently found interest in mobile development.

Chances are pretty good that the company will make it. Huge market(real estate) and very less competition in this market in India.
As I have said in description, I turned down an offer of 20% more than my current salary for the experience of working at a startup + equity but I know I can easily get a job of upto 70-80% more.
The only advantage I can think of is experience of working at a startup. This will greatly help me as I wish to startup something of my own in near future.
Currently I am working on a startup that is solving problem of flat rentals for college students in Mumbai, India.

We are getting good traction and focusing on a niche market is helping us gain word-of-mouth publicity. And of course there are already a few big players already in the market.
I am the lead developer and designer. We are trying to build the best UI in the market. Please share your thoughts on the current UI and give your suggestion on where we can improve it.
