During 2001-2003, I used to travel to China a lot coz I had a company called mobile2win in Shanghai.
Life then was tough for digital entrepreneurs. Everything looked dismal.
One such depressing day, during transit in Singapore's Changi airport, I discovered the "Koi Pond". It's still there. I sat on a bench and looked at the beautiful koi fish, swimming. I learnt that the koi is a very hard working fish that swims upstream.
While looking at the fish, I saw my reflection in the water. It just occurred to me that I WAS a koi fish... Swimming against all odds with all my might.
Moi is "me" in French and the word koimoi came to me just then. It meant "I am koi" = koimoi :)
The name rhymes well and when I thought of starting a Bollywood website, koimoi came to my mind!
