Next generation entrepreneurs and start-ups came together to
display 29 innovative products here Wednesday at 'Tech Circle Demo 2013', the
Indian edition of the world's leading technology products platform.
"The idea of bringing Demo platform to India is to give an opportunity to
Indian start-ups to showcase their products globally and draw attention from
investors, corporate acquirers and end-users," VC Circle Network founder
P.V. Sahad said on the occasion.
The two-day event will help the start-ups to access easy financing and gain
customer traction and global attention.
"With Indian innovation moving to products from services, we are
witnessing the emergence of quality enterprise and consumer technology products
to dominate global markets. The demo is to identify success stories and give
them a platform to move from concept stage to market," VC Circle business
director Chandni Jafri observed.
Among companies participating in the Demo are Vivyo from online photography
firm Canvera, to showcase, collaborate, market and sell their work online and
on social media; mobile-centric application firm Moxtra with its product, which
organises all documents, photos, videos and drawings in project binders.
The Moxtra binders are accessible from iPad, iPhone and any web browser.
Similarly, software tool Khemeia transforms unstructured information into
structured, indexed, searchable and pertinent information.
"The tool enables customers to re-utilise the information on multiple
supports (print, web, hand-held devices), store in easy to retrieve archives
and make readily available to their users, cost effectively and rapidly,"
Sahad said.
Another innovative software product -- dMACQ is a browser-based application
with latest technology for mergers and acquisition (M&A) eco-system.
"dMACQ maps the entire M&A deal life cycle and is tailored for
different end-users such as strategic corporate acquirers and financial
investors such as private equity or the advisory community," Jafri said.
Cofferce is a retail ecosystem platform application with customer engagement
driven through smart phones and tablets, Point of Sale (PoS) management through
tablets and a web application for retailer management.
Likewise, Bizgain is a digital marketing dashboard for executives at
multi-channel advertisers who budget and deliver RoI (return on investment)
through digital media campaigns.
The start-ups were selected to display cutting-edge products by experts and
angel investors such as Komli Media India founder chairman Amar Goel, Seed
Advisors founding partner Mahesh Murthy, FusionCharts co-founder Pallav
Nadhani, Canaan Partners India managing director Rahul Khanna; Nexus Venture
Partners co-founder Sandeep Singhal and India Games chief executive Vishal
Gondal.
Leading venture capitalists, representatives of technology firms and others in
the start-up ecosystem are participating in the event.
