Roundup of newly launched Indian startups: HelloIntern, Sales17,adhysteria

New startups on the radar screen. Please give them a spin and share your comments.

Hellointern: Aiming to be the portal for all info related to internship (listing of universities/opportunities in India/Scholarships etc).

Sales17: Sales17 is an on-demand sales/CRM tool and is currently in alpha (and free to use). I am not too sure how will they compete against SalesForce, which is targeting the Indian market as well (i.e. if Sales17 is targeting the Indian market).

Their mantra has to stay around a niche vertical for small-sized businesses (and the challenge is that significant % of small businesses are not tech savvy to deploy such systems)

adhysteria: An online classifieds site, adhysteria allows users to post video footage of their classifieds/ads along with images/audio. Users can view their classifieds and ads on Maps in 2d and 3d with technology via Google Earth.

Well, now that you guys are done with all possible web2.0 mashups, how about adding classifieds/reaching out to people to add classifieds?

    ” how about adding classifieds/reaching out to people to add classifieds?”: I think its here YouMagix

    UGC still take time in India. But as of now it wont work as expected by those startups. Instead Crawler+UGC will work.

    Oh yes. and that’s where I expect startups to understand that pure UGC doesn’t work – adhysteria has tried all sort of web2.0 mashups, but where is the content? how do they plan to add content is my basic qn.

    True , this is a basic problem in all the idea revolving around UGC .
    Unrestricted, uncensored and cheap internet access is a must have for UGC to work . but in India internet access for the most part is done through Cyber Caffe where connection is shared and environment is not conducive for this .

    Well , web 2.0 is not all set to go in india for the time being.
    ….. poor broadband access and plus google earth like value additions won’t bring any additional benefit to them. They need to keem themselvz simple and fast …

    I think all the above mentioned startups can take off given the environment is very conducive given easy availability of internet. But the primal pain-point is revenue. Once needs to have a good (read smart) revenue model.
