NEW DELHI: Social networking site ibibo.com has launched a new application, iHunk, for young men across India to showcase their talent, and create their audience and fan club in order to enter the business of modeling.

Every month, the community will vote for their favourites and one young man will be named iHunk of the month and will win a two-year modeling contract with Elite Model Management and also get an exclusive portfolio shot by photographer, Subi Samuel.

Says ibibo.com CEO Ashish Kashyap: “Seeing the success and recognition achieved for the young women through ibibo iFreshFace, we wanted to extend a similar platform for the young men in the country. All these initiatives are part of our vision to provide a platform to the ibibo community to showcase their talent and get recognition. We will continue to incubate such applications across various genres.”

ibibo.com was launched in January 2007.
