Who runs Chandoo.org?
This is run by Chandoo & a small army of freelancers and volunteers. Although started as a personal website back in 2004, after 3 years, I changed the direction of site from personal rants to data. Today, after 17 years, Chandoo.org is a thriving community of passionate learners and sharers.
About Chandoo
My name is Purna Duggirala. Chandoo is my nickname. I have used the same for registering this website in 2004.
After working for a few years as a business analyst with India’s leading IT company, I quit in April 2010 to make this website my full time work. You can read the back story here.
I am happily married to Jo, my college sweetheart and love of life. In September 2009, we became parents to twins – a boy and a girl. Nishanth (boy) & Nakshatra are as naughty, hilarious & lovable as they come. And our life is even more beautiful ever since.
We live in Wellington, New Zealand, a coastal town in the Southern Hemisphere. [more…]
