MakeMyTrip.com has filed for an IPO with the New York Stock Exchange. For a company that saw the tumbling down of technology stocks in 2001, this should be a moment to cherish. A company that has seen the Internet creeping into India and now confident to go public lends credence to the digital economy coming of age in the country. Is it the time for pondering over the digital economy or the new-age economy that thrives on Internet, mobile, and apps? What will be the next big bet in these sectors?
Its time to unveil the NASSCOM EMERGE 50 for 2010
NASSCOM EMERGE 50 is back – and in a bigger avatar. After the success of last year’s listing, the EMERGE Forum within NASSCOM has begun work in full earnest for the 2010 listing. In addition to last year’s categories of Growth, Markets (non-traditional / domestic), Products, and Services, this year, the categories have been expanded to include the Start-Ups. And in another first, all the 50 companies will be profiled in a booklet to be released by NASSCOM at the EMERGEOUT conclave in New Delhi on August 25 2010. Why the EMERGE 50? With EMERGE 50, we have a sharp focus – in the process we have been able to spotlight some really good companies, that were hitherto unnoticed. Plus with the level of detail that we go into with each company has helped us build an excellent dataset – covering funding, cash flows, employees, markets and specializations – for over 200 companies. This has really helped us get a sense of trends in this space.
