In some unlucky way, I didn't get any .in versions of those names. Tough luck, I thought. Well that doesn't seem to be the case. I recently checked the whois on those .IN names and many of them were regged to a single individual. What I mean is that I see a few individual names out there that were luckily alloted the .in versions of most of the names that I ordered. Seems suspicious to me, because their address is Mumbai based, where Directi is located. There is no way to determine if these individuals work for Directi or not.
I am still not alleging anything right now, but just wanted to test my hypothesis. It would be great if you guys can check your pre-reg list with Directi and find names that Directi actually acquired but didn't allot you the same. In case, this seems like too much work, I am ready to do the grunt work here as this is my quest. So it would be helpful if you guys can send me the list of all the .in and .co.in names that you ordered with Directi which they acquired BUT you didn't eventually get it.
Thanks in advance.

FusionX,
Like you, I pre-registered for both .co.in & .in and got most of the .co.in
and some .in
http://www.apnaguide.com/seekin.htm.
I think DirectI used the first come first served policy.
I was a day late in pre-registering as DirectI had some bug in their pre-registration process and the help desk ticket had turnaround time of 24 hrs. Plus the time difference.
I manually checked the ones I lost out and DirectI did register and most of them seems to be legitimate. I am talking about the premium ones, I lost.
Example.
City Names are registered by Stop N Shop Travels Pvt Ltd
Financial Names - Sri Securities and Investment
Shop, Mall etc - Jaipan Teleshoppe Pvt Ltd
Ads and Classifieds - Dharmesh Shah
Moreover, during pre-registration there was more demand for .in than .co.in .
Hence, the Germans took over the premium .in .
I heard someone in the forum was able to register by hand stock.co.in .
I do not regret not getting the premium .in , but I am little disappointed in not getting
Business.co.in , India.co.in , Bollywood.co.in
