Fantastic 14: Indian startups poised for a breakout

One startup brings you a piping hot cuppa, another lets you chat with your grocer, and yet another helps your chauffeur become, well, a better chauffeur.  And then there’s one that promises to get your shit done – figuratively, of course.

These figure in the cool bunch of Indian startups we think are poised for a breakout.

Most have snapped up seed or series A funding, and a couple of them offer such kickass products that we couldn’t resist bunging their names in. Over the last few years, they have wowed users, scaled up, and spread.

India has over 19,400 tech startups. From these we bring you 14 fantastic ones:

NowFloats

The Hyderabad-based startup basically helps businesses create and manage their SEO optimized websites.  NowFloats calls itself a business site that gets you discovered online when you post content to it.

And guess what happened this week? One of its founders got named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list. Ronak Kumar Samantray had founded NowFloats along with Jasminder Singh Gulati, Nitin Jain, and Neeraj Sabharwal in 2012.

“[…]now we have 200,000 paid customers. All we ask the merchant to do is send us an SMS updating about the latest offers and we help drive more customers to their stores,” Ronak was quoted as saying.

The startup has investors like Mumbai Angels, Omidyar Network, and Blume Ventures.

Toppr

There are literally millions of engineering and medical college aspirants in India. Trying to make their mission easier is Mumbai-based Toppr.
