Welcome to Opportunity!

Hello Readers!

Thank you for staying tuned! We’ve tweaked the bugs, moved the content and are excited to welcome you to Let Me Know’s new home at www.letmeknow.in

One year, over 400 posts and thousands of connections later, we bring you a personalized, intuitive and ever-burgeoning service, with tons of new features. So, whether it’s a writing contest you’re looking for, or a business conference, browse our categories, find your event and add it to your calendar.

What’s more? There’s nothing we enjoy better than making sure you get to that opportunity that could clinch it for you. So keep browsing and see what our periodic tweaks can bring you.

So, here’s to you, and to all our supporters. And to the fantastic team from Grayscale, BITS Pilani (Goa), who have built our new home.

The information barrier has broken. When opportunity forgets to knock, log on to Let Me Know and find it.
