Hubhopper, founded by brothers Gautam Raj Anand and Uday Raj Anand hits the market with a bang by nabbing the 40th position on the Google playstore weeks after launch.

Conceived by Gautam Raj while working as a banker at Barclays, Hubhopper was created with the aim of saving people time and curating information in a manner much more for palatable for today's internet user.

An amazing work of design, Hubhopper gives users a daily dose of their interests through short, ephemeral bite sized pieces of content, controlled by each user in real time.

Packed with great social features, Hubhopper makes the experience of content consumption unlike anything we've seen recently.

It's no surprise that hubhopper is amassing for itself a viral following with one user writing. It changed my life. What app have you made! Never before have I felt so informed and aware.

Keep up the good work" and another writing, "I am in love with hubhopper. Tuned to my interests" Boasting of a 4.8 rating, hubhopper founders describe it as, "Hubhopper gives you a daily dose of your interests.

It's interface is designed in such a way so as two bring a user up to date with all the happenings in the stuff they love in under five minutes.

It's short, it's ephemeral, its social. It's current." After hitting the 153rd spot only 3 weeks after launch, the made in India app soon soared past established applications like Tumblr and Facebook Mentions, finally ending up at position 40th in the world.

Currently available on the playstore, app store and web. It's no surprise that hubhopper became the number one trend on Twitter India (Sept 25th).

The Anand brothers promise that this is just the beginning. We're excited to see what else is in store from this dynamic duo.
