Rahul Yadav, the ousted co-founder of Housing.com, is back with his new startup and he is funded by the biggest names in the Indian internet industry—Bansals of Flipkart.

Yadav's new startup – Intelligent Interfaces – is about helping various government departments use internet and technology tools to save cost and expedite service delivery. "We will get our first business from a government department in two weeks," Yadav told VCCircle.

Yadav confirmed that he got seed funding from Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, co-founders of Flipkart. He said the company is not taking funding from any others at this point in time, dispelling rumours that founders of a few other big ecommerce companies could support Yadav in his new venture. "We do not require so much money now. We will raise more funds as and when we require it," Yadav said.

Sachin Bansal, co-founder and CEO of Flipkart, did not respond to calls seeking his response.

Yadav, who was fired from Housing.com in early July following a series of incidents including a continued feud with investors, public spats with media and others, was quietly working on his new venture for a few months.

Yadav is quite confident about getting business from various central and state departments. "We have very powerful people on our board," said Yadav. He, however, declined to offer more details.
