About Viren Khanna:
Viren Khanna is a 23 year old Software Engineer, who came to Bangalore in 2003 to study B.E. in Information Science from RV College of Engineering. He graduated with a First Class degree and joined a leading multinational as a Software Engineer, working in the day and organizing social get togethers and parties in the evening.

Due to a variety of reasons the entire nightlife in Bangalore was fragmented across the various locations in the city. No doubt, there is nothing more boring that going to a bar or a club and having the impression that you are the only guest. This sparked an idea in young entrepreneur Viren Khanna who seized the opportunity of aggregating the dispersed crowd. He made a deal with existing clubs and started to send out text messages to people of his address book on the mobile phone which he systematically grew with every event; a typical example of "building momentum". Since then, the so called "Viren-Parties" have become a synonym for "something is happening" at least two times a week in Bangalore. He moved ahead to provide more platforms of networking and communication including fashion shows and the hugely successful the Ives Club.
Viren uses his background in technology to the hilt to promote his events through networking sites, sms and mailers. The group titled 'Viren's Nightlife Group - Blitzkrieg' on Facebook already has 3,333 members and is still growing. This is one of the many groups that he uses to promote his events.
