We’ve been a little quite recently as we assessed the applications for Bangalore. Also a little overwhelmed given that we had twice the number of applications we normally receive. Over the last 3 days we interviewed a shortlist of 48 companies and have now narrowed it down to the following 5:
Connect M: M2M technology for domain specific analytics and business intelligence for Telecom, Utilities, and Transportation industries.
Indrion: Adding intelligence to non living things.
Quantama: Allows you to find places of interest, promotions and events nearby.
Adiro: Enterprise mobility including automatic identification and data collection.
Infobotique: Compliance and risk management for Oil and Natural Gas industry.
What stuck me most was the global ambition of these entrepreneurs. This is exciting given that the local market is make up of 1b people. European entrepreneurs take note (80m is a small market)!
Stay tuned as we profile these companies in more detail over the coming week.
All the best to the winners but not happy when social media companies & mere web portals are compared with those who actually innovate in software & technology!!!
I mean, you can’t compare an apple to an orange you see, anways, that’s how life is, there is always another change, cheers!
