AngloNet, hosted at anglos.in, was launched on May 4, 2024. In just a few days, it has grown to over 350 members, forming a vibrant and active community. Currently, the website supports over 120 users, with 80 active daily users and regular new sign-ups.
The concept and development of AngloNet were spearheaded by Craig Gomes, who also sponsored and developed the entire platform. AngloNet is dedicated to fostering connections, collaboration, and community among Anglo-Indians worldwide.
In less than a month, the platform has experienced tremendous growth. While most of the website features are free, and usage is free, the only current revenue source is from business listings, which help maintain the website. However, maintaining such a platform incurs significant costs.
Development Costs:
- Domain Name: Rs. 1200/-
- Web Hosting: Rs. 12,000/-
- SSL Certificate: Rs. 1500/-
- Website Theme & Frameworks: Rs. 12,000/-
- Website Design & Development: Rs. 25,000/-
Total Initial Cost: Rs. 51,700/-
Monthly Maintenance:
- Ongoing Maintenance: Rs. 4000/-
- Upcoming Newsletter Feature (For Jobs + Listings): Rs. 3000/-
Total Monthly Expenses: Rs. 7000/-
While we aim to keep the platform valuable and free for users, we need your support to cover the ongoing expenses of the AngloNet website. It is challenging to sustain this on my own with personal finances.
Any donation, no matter how small, will significantly contribute to the platform’s growth and maintenance. To show our gratitude, every donor will have their name featured along with their profile on the front page of the website.
Thank you for your support!
Craig Gomes
Founder, AngloNet
