Even though RedHerring supposedly looks at startups, inclusion of companies like Consim Info and Pinstorm brings in an element of surprise (and questions the importance of such lists).
What’s your take.
Yes. Bharat matrimony is known for more than a decade now in India… i think red herring is Hearing it now.
Someone when talking about American automobile industry has written “TATA Motors” as a start-up from India entering into western auto industry … what do you think of that?
Newgen in that list… starange?? but anyways good for Newgen, some footage at least.
Not quite exciting!
Omni Docs / Central images are products made by Newgen which citi has been using since last 8-10 years so the company shouldnt be classified as a start up.
Newgen products though are very good. Central image has been the best image based work flow that i have ever used.
Does anyone remember that Satyam got Golden Peacock award for World Class Management a few weeks before the “Asatyam” ???
Does anyone recall Nobel Peace prize to Osama nee Obama within a few weeks of election victory.
IMHO award seeking and distribution model will always fail coz such a process will always be depend on the quality of evaluators who decide the list.
Not a Big Deal.Mostof these companies like “pinstorm” and “Consim Info” does not deserve to be there. There were some “real” startups from India that qualified for Red Herring Asia awards http://www.redherring.com/Home/26233 which could not go to US (could not afford to) like Mahesh Murthy or Murugavel Janakiraman.
precisely. could not afford the prize.
It is not true, we did not went US but recognised with award.
So I don’t know where all this “startup” talk has come from.
Here’s the eligibility for the Red Herring Awards, from their website at http://redherring.com/topcompanies
Applicants must be:
* A technology company
* Headquartered in the specific geographical region of the corresponding Red Herring 100 award program
* Privately held and not listed on any exchanges anywhere in the world
* Not a previous winner of a Red Herring 100 regional award – with the exception of Global where the applicant must be a previously selected regional winner or finalist.
Nowhere does it say that it is only for start-ups. Any company that is technology-driven and not public qualifies.
