1st January 2007, the Whole world was celebrating New Year; I woke up at 6 AM, rubbed my eyes, and opened my Gmail. There was an email from #Google saying our Website was banned due to some spam activity. It was just three months after starting our beloved company, and our very own identity was banned.
