India inc red herring 100

The Red Herring 100 asia 2007 list is out.

I have culled out the Indian companies in the list. Lot of companies from China and South Korea. A couple of mentions from Taiwan, Vietnam, Hongkong, Malaysia and even from New Zealand. Lots of Indian companies made it to the finalists list – but they didn’t make it through!( bigtec - one of the mothership members of my company ) To mention the list just from India’s perspectives:

• carwale – online cars marketplace
• cosmiccircuits – electronics co
• gameshastra – games
• realacres – online House marketplace
• merittrac – HR
• netalter – p2p, networking and communications tech
• regalix – web 2.0 consulting
• paymate – sms payments
• onyomo – mobile on the go
• vembu – online backup
• vjive – OOH media, flat panel ads
• kerala – online tabloid portal for keralities
• satnavtechnologies – GPS and map tracking products and services

Over all what you see is nice breed of products companies coming up, some of the mobile genre, the usual internet market place, companies carving a nice place out in the services space – game design, online backup, human resources, consulting, new media experiments and GPS space.

I had known about paymate, onyomo and vjive before. Realacres, Meritrac, regalix and vembu – in passing mention somehow. What is the Media doing not tracking the ‘red herrings’? any blogs dedicated to following the Indian upcoming companies?? I am sure 13 companies o the final 100, there are atleast 54 companies out there to write a blog about! Common these companies with decent solid relationships and business models in place (atleast I hope) and the blogosphere needs to cover them ….
