The NASSCOM EMERGE 50 listing announced..

When we embarked on the journey a couple of months back, we thought of creating a platform, which would enable the Emerging IT companies to showcase their unique value proposition and create a distinct niche for themselves. It has indeed been a tough job for the jury members and NASSCOM for selecting the 50 emerging companies.  The bigger challenge of course was selecting the parameters on which the applicants would be judged, to enable a fair and objective verdict. Some of the parameters looked by the jury when they ranked the companies are:

Sifting through 205 entries, spread across 22 cities can be a mammoth task but absolute figures only reveal the tip of the iceberg. In the four categories the breakup was approximately 37 in the Growth category, 67 in services, 58 in Products and 43 in Markets. Quite heavily skewed towards services, which was understandable. In a way, this made our job significantly more difficult, as differentiation, progressively became harder to decipher and detect.

Frankly, we were simply overwhelmed by the response. We were truly convinced, that this represented a microcosm of the untapped potential that exists in our country – the aspiration to attain leadership position, being reflected in the business model.

Here goes the EMERGE 50 for 2009(in alphabetical order)

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated and allowed us a glimpse of their true potential. Being selected, no doubt is important, but I must add, that all those who do not make it to the final list, must not despair and should carry on the good work with renewed vigour.

Thanks for this wonderful initiative. Such initiatives will spur companies to greater heights.
A suggestion – It would be good if you can provide a 1-line description of the companies listed here and hyperlink them to their websites. That provides the curious reader a little more meat to chew on.

Naresh, thank you for the input. Please give me couple of days..we will hyperlink the company names with their website and will also do a one-liner for each company. Later, we intend to put up a one pager for each company.

Feels great to be recognized, especially by peers in the industry. Thanks NASSCOM. Looking forward to the Zonals and the finals :-)

This initiative is the tangible evidence that NASSCOM is heeding the voice of the SME/emerging enterprises. With the last mile service provider coming into focus with end clients, such a grading cud not have been more timely and in itself, demonstrative of India’s immense capacity/apptitude in IT across all levels.

Kudos to NASSCOM for this wonderful initiative. It would be great if the specific achievements, expertise area, product and service domain, horizontal and vertical offerings, End Client Comments etc. are specifically featured and there could be an independent body of experts who could review at least four products every month from these 50 Companies.

Now that’s a reason to celebrate.It’s a treat to see “Robust Designs” in the Top 50 list.
Cheers to RD.

Congratulations Robust Designs!!! Well deserved ranking

Keep up the good work.

Congratulation to Future Focus Infotech. Reason to celebrate Teenage Birthday. Team work works….

Congratulations Trendyworks Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Congrats to Nasscom as well as those who got shortlisted.

Now that this select group will be focused for further enrichment, we must not forget those who missed the list. Especially those cos which did not participate at all due to their fears or shyness or those which did not take this opportunity seriously.

As a matter of Community governance and moral leadership, it is time that we now focus on those left behind or non participants. Too many cos. exist in that segment for multiple reasons/constraints of their own. They may be tied with routines or feel they are too small. Either way they deserve to be considered for tomorrow.

What are mitigation approaches? Can we as Nasscom Community start publicizing such initiatives for tiny and small IT outfits spread in metros as well as tier 2 and 3 towns? How do we reach out to them with personal touch and get them into our foothold as INCLUSIVE and AFFIRMATIVE initiative is to be worked out.

Time to think in that direction too, so that our action plan is at least be ready by Aug 09 event and be announced by that time.

While it is time to rejoice for these 50 cos, we should also build platform for those left out, to review and be prepared to get in next year.

Thank you Mr. Raja. Your inputs are very well appreciated.
