If you dream in Java, think in PHP, and talk in <xml> over IM, you should talk to us.

In addition, as part of our presentation at the conference, we announced that PubMatic has been released into a global beta available for all publishers around the world! During our alpha over 500 publishers from around the world have been using PubMatic and seeing some amazing results. See news about PubMatic here.

Online advertising is growing at a very fast pace, and the number of variables affecting the performance of an online ad has been growing at an even faster pace. Komli is devising methods for maximizing the yield of online advertising using advanced algorithms running over large-scale systems. We are also developing decision support system for data analytics, analysis of real time data, such as user behavior and web analytics, server scalability to support 100,000,000 requests per day (to start with), and much more cool stuff.


The last I posted about Komli, we had just moved into our new office. We were still building the product. Since then a lot has changed, we wrote a bunch of code, did a beta, were selected as a Top 40 startup in the world, our team grew to 8 people, and have been having a lot of fun.

The beta release was amazing, we had close to 400 customers using PubMatic, a small team of very enthusiastic world-class programmers were writing code and managing escalations at the same time.

While we hacked code in Java, PHP, AJAX and C 12 hours a day, and listened to rock and the latest Bollywood tunes of Bhool Bhuliyaa, the continued to have a sense of humor. This is a sketch that one of us drew on the whiteboard, while he was designing a new DB schema for user authentication.

And, did I mention, we never miss a chance to have fun ...
