The term "RxPG" used in this document refers to "RxPG Medical Solutions Private Limited, India"

• What is meant by the word RxPG?
  RxPG is made up of two separate abbreviations Rx and PG.
  
  Rx is the abbreviation used in medicine for Prescription and in computer coding lingo to signify the phrase To Receive.
  
  PG is the abbreviation used for Post Graduation
  
  When RxPG was founded in year 2000, it was meant to be a site for Prescription for the Medical Post Graduation Blues! But over the time the term has encompassed a wider meaning and as we have also launched additional services, RxPG has become synonymous with a brand name signifying "quality information services through managed communities and communication".  
   
• Who founded RxPG?
  The concept of RxPG was born as an insight rather than as a plan. Dr Himanshu Tyagi (Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, 1995-2000 Batch) and Dr Ankush Vidyarthi (Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, 1996-2001 Batch) designed a website for their alma mater Maulana Azad Medical College in 1999. To their surprise the small little section on that site that dealt with PG entrances became the most popular section in the website. Although the site (meramamc.com) was meant only for the students of their college, the registrations received to access the previous papers and mock tests were overwhelming. In January 2000, when the registrations from the students from over 82 medical colleges were received to access the All India PG Entrance Question Paper on the meraMAMC site, the webmasters thought about starting a website for PG entrances.
  
   
• Why is it called RxPG?
  The initial name for the website was thought to be exambusters.com after the name of the PG section in meraMAMC website which was called "examBUSTERS". But that name was already registered by someone and hence was not available. So the name exambuster.com was chosen. The site successfully operated under that name for some months. But that domain name was provided under a free offer by an internet company in USA who never registered exambuster.com under the name of Dr Tyagi and Dr Vidyarthi and squatted upon the domain name as soon as it became a bit famous. New to the ways of the internet, the founders learnt their lessons fast and decided to buy a domain name and that too from a reliable company whose offices can be accessed locally. Zeroing in on Net4India, New Delhi, they applied for registration of a new and short name egpg.com. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the local domain company bungled up registration and although our founders applied first (domain names are available on first come first serve basis), it was snatched again by a squatter in just matter of hours. Exasperated but undeterred by these failures, the founders thought of a new name. Their strategy was to get the shortest possible self explanatory name. After few days of brain storming and discussing many names, the current name RxPG was chosen.
