Well, I don't see any problem in plugging one's event in a blog post. If you don't like the idea of paid event, why bother following him in twitter and commenting on hacker news?
Where does he advertise about his contribution to the Indian startup ecosystem?
It is entrepreneurs like us who say he does.
>He takes money for providing an office space in return
You want office space for free?
>How does that contribute as doing 'much' to the Indian Startup Ecosystem? There are plenty of office spaces over here...
He also runs accelerator which invests in startup. They have invested in 2 startups so far. He hosts free events like Chennai OCC, Chennai geeks at the startup centre. Also the space is free if you want to host any free event.
I graduated from college and worked from startup centre under Vijay for six months. I come from a small town and knew little about startups. It was Vijay who taught me lot about building a product and distributing it to users. The education i had at the startup centre was invaluable. You know how much he charged for the office space for the period of six months? ZERO(because he wanted me to succeed and i was a recent college grad)
Please understand what someone does before trying to bash them in public
