IntouchId, a Pune based startup makes it to the “Top-30 startups from India to watch out for” at the recently concluded TechSparks event and showcased in the Tech-30 report released at the event! The 30 were selected out of more than 800 entries by an elite panel of VCs, CEOs, and industry experts.
Intel held a contest for the most promising apps coming out of India called the “App4India” contest at the event. 10 finalists were selected among thousands of applicants and IntouchId was adjudged the winners in the “Productivity” category. “This brought in the much required cash infusion of 250000 USC (or 2500 USD) for us.”, said Sarang Lakare, Founder and CEO of IntouchId. He further said. “We plan to use this money to grow our test infrastructure by 300% by buying some Blackberry, Android and iPhone devices, and in turn help the sagging revenues of RIM. I wholeheartedly thank Intel and YourStory.in for opening our first revenue channel!”
Another Pune based startup, MangoReader, won the “Educational” category for their awesome app that brings books to life for children.
