Arindam Mukherjee and his wife Tithee Mukhopadhyay went to watch Housefull 2 on the day of release. Almost all the critics had trashed the movie. “But our friends on Facebook and Twitter were raving about it. We went ahead and watched the movie and quite liked it,” says Mukherjee.

What was the lesson here? There are way too many reviews (paid, unpaid) out there. But social recommendations are a big and relatively correct factor when it comes to deciding which movie to watch. “We did a quick survey and confirmed our hypothesis. Started off with a blog as a proof of concept …Long story short, we started Flixstreet to solve our own problem!”

Flixstreet is a social discovery and recommendation engine for Indian movies. Their primary focus right now is on Bollywood but will be soon moving into regional films as well. They have just come out of a private beta a week back and has been seeing a good amount of traction.

The service aggregates all relevant movie content and present it to you through a clean interface. The startup seems to have given priority to user experience over SEO clutter and ads,  as seen on most movie portals.

The portal offers a list of services like movie watch lists, release alert notifications, social recommendations and acces movie reviews. You can also invite other friends to watch a movie together. Once signed up you can create a My Activity page that captures all the your ratings, reviews, watchlists and friends on Flixstreet. Another feature called StreetPulse integrates user ratings, social buzz and critics’ ratings.

As far as competition is concerned there will always be Google and other search engines, but the informations available on them is cluttered. This is where websites like Flixstreet can come and help users with sorted out and organised information, adding to the movie experience in whole. As far as peer competition is concerned, there a quite a few players that cater to both a national and regional audience like Filmfare, Nowrunning etc and also most news channels have movie reviews on their portal like TOI, IBNLive etc.

The startup is currently focusing on growth and engagement. In the future they are looking at a revenue model that combines social planning to watch movies along with a targeted marketing platform for production houses.

Question for the team: WHY should one rate movies on this site? Isn’t sentimental analysis of social feeds a better way to judge a movie? What’s social about this product?

Sign up at Flixstreet and let us know about the experience.

A frequent wish heard in academic circles: We should collaborate more often. Delhi based startup SahVidya wants to make that happen. The company has built an online application for academics and institutions to store data, share applications and computing facility with peers and others on the network.

The application can work for any university or institute, says its founder Bhanu Gupta, an alum of IIT- Delhi. “There is no platform at present where academicians can meet and collaborate and SahVidya becomes one stop shop for that,” says Gupta.

The freemium product gives 3GB of free space to a user. Additional space costs $.3 per GB/ Month. Since launch in December last year, the company has registered 500 users from IITs, IIMs and few from NIFT Delhi, Gupta said.

The site has two primary kinds of users– students & faculty. Students can use the site to store data, create course directories, organise lab work, assignments and share files between peers in other institutes.

Faculty can use the storage facility to upload course work, assign it to student groups, maintain office, research and consultancy related work.

The startup will have to compete with larger rivals such as Dropbox, if the proposition is storage. While the service also competes with the collaboration tools like Google Drive, Microsoft Online Office, SahVidya has a winner in making if they have a clear workflow for use-cases in academics.

For research and publications, Jstor and the likes already have a stronghold among academicians. (Read: Dropbox smartly finds a space in Indian colleges)

The Indian government is also working on various cloud computing initiatives (pdf) and academic institutions are their primary targets. Government is likely to use state owned infrastructure. So that will probably rule out government institutions. E-mail, productivity, ERP, CRM and other things are already on the Government’s road map. Microsoft has already made inroads into academic institutions by partnering with the All India Council for Technical Education.

What this also means that the government is open to the idea of cloud computing and there will be opportunities to partner with them on various aspects related to cloud computing.

Reduce Data has launched its programmatic advertising platform in India. Using this platform advertisers can buy advertising space via an auction over advertising exchanges. The auctions are conducted over an industry standard protocol called Real-Time Bidding (RTB).

As per Reduce Data, audiences bought over auctions are turning out to be more effective than traditional network media buying. This is mainly because advertisers only buy audiences which meet their targeting needs, price needs.

Using the platform advertisers buy each impression instead of a placement which means each user / impression is priced differently. The company tracks the full campaign funnel in real-time. Real-time machine learning delivers instant predictions on probability of the ad that is being bid on the industry standard Real Time Bidding (RTB) protocol.

Apart from measuring the clicked or rendered ads, apprehending and analyzing rough data, the service also provide users with metrics on the effectiveness of brand lift campaigns. Advertisers can also use the platform’s analytics to measure advertising spends.

RTB spends are increasing in India every year. While solutions are available in India, it is estimated that the uptake is not very high due to various reasons while in markets like US, the uptake is about 20% of all digital spends.

Reduce Data says that it plans to leverage big data technologies in order to deliver highly optimized ad spends. The company claims to have access to about 6 billion daily impressions in partnerships through various exchanges.

Started by ZestAdz cofounder, Reduce Data raised angel funding last year.

Classmint, the interactive study notes tool, has recently launched an image annotations service with embed ability to add annotations to an image and embed it on blogs and websites etc.

Using the Classmint note taking service, students can create annotable, audible notes that can be folded like a paper. With this launched feature, students can also import an image, add some annotations and copy the HTML embed code as publish it on their website or blog.

This feature can come in handy when you need to provide annotated information pertaining to particular images published online. For example e-commerce portals can annotate images on them explaining the product better. Technology blogs and services like real estate services can annotate the image to provide users with better description. This can also be handy for e-learning portals.

The idea behind the service is to help retailers/ and other website owners to better describe their products.

You can view a sample post here. Currently the feature is offered totally free, but displays a Classmint logo at the bottom right.

There are many other free services like Annotorious and Pixtick and many others, that provide similar annotations services.

With hundreds of e-commerce sites, shopping online has become really tricky. Besides pricing, fine details like delivery time, quality, discounts and deals tend to be different on different portals. This is where comparison shopping comes into play. Ironically, there are dozens of comparison shopping sites as well.

Delhi based BuyingIQ wants to take on the space by helping users make smart decisions when it comes to shopping online. BuyingIQ is an intelligence based comparison and shopping engine. It helps you find the best deals across many ecommerce portals in the electronics category.

Currently, it gives price comparison options mainly in electronics with major categories including “Mobile & Accessories, Computer & Accessories, T.V, Video & Audio, Digital Cameras, Home & Kitchen appliances and Personal care”. In total it has 60 sub categories.

Piyush Taneja, Founder and Director, BuyingIQ says

We are not just a price comparison site. Instead we provide comprehensive deal to deal comparison for user. Necessary details like additional freebies/offer and discount coupons made available by the seller all put together in one place.

There are quite a few price comparison websites out there. Sites like Reviews 42, PriceDekho, Junglee.com, MysmartPrice, FindYogi and many others, offers product comparison and discovery options. The main focus is on personalization, which essentially means the more a service can be customised to a buyer’s requirement, the more attractive it becomes.

Online services like PriceBaba and Purplista also offers product discovery and comparison features, unlike pure online services, these provide information on brick & mortar stores based on user’s location.

BuyingIQ uses a “Personalized Competition Analysis Tool” which is basically an alternative recommendation feature. Customers are given alternative options of a product they are searching, based on product specifications, user response and popularity of the product on the Internet.

The startup which started in November 2012 currently has more than 4 lakh visitors a month which are growing by 50% month on month. That’s a good number the site has managed to pull within 9 months of the launch.

Nearly half of its traffic comes from metros and the rest from Tier-2 and tier-3 cities, indicating the demand of such service in the smaller cities.

A  mobile app is in the making and will soon be launched, as the startup gets over 25% of the traffic from mobile based web browsers (Not through a mobile site). This means close to 1 lakh visitors use mobile to compare products, a sign of increasing mobile usage.

In next phase the company will be launching “Gamification” features to engage users in order to build a community of loyal and genuine users. The site offers an option of writing reviews and engaging users using gamification methods will help it to cut out unreal users writing fake reviews. Community engagement serves well especially when you want your customers to give genuine ratings and reviews. For instance, online marketplace Snapdeal, has launched Snapboard, a gamification platform for reviews. The etailer give virtual rewards (badges, points) and physical goodies to genuine users participating in discussions and reviews.

The startup analyses trends using more than 10 months of pricing and inventory data of major online ecommerce players, and has developed a  crawling algorithm which includes factors like deal’s historical pricing information, how hot the product is, and frequency with which sellers update their price to provide the users with accurate pricing information. They claim 98% price data accuracy.

Major revenue comes from affiliate networks and display ads. The firm has tied up with merchants on CPC and CPA basis. Remarketing of consumer data, data analytics and physical retail listing are some other monetization avenues the startup is looking at in near future.

Comparison shopping is surely an alluring segment and will grow with increasing ecommerce though it is hard to say who will become the undisputed choice among users.

A whole lot of content is being (re)produced on the web every day. To give you an idea, every minute 278,000 tweets are added to the web and that precisely means a deep struggle between signal and noise.

And more so, if you are a business user who is keen to grab insights beyond the mainstream publications.

Enters SoCXO.

SoCXO simplifies sharing of curated content for business users and help them derive maximum value out of their social networks. SoCXO is different from the existing apps in the market for two reasons.

1) Apart from standard RSS feeds, SoCXO offesr “Blurbs” – an exclusive offering in which the team manually curates content based on user interests, create a custom four liner capturing the essence of the article.

2) The sharing of content is much more intuitive. The user can edit the title and description to add her views before publishing into social networks.

SoCXO attempts to solve a hidden incentive of CXOs – be in the know of recent developments/news and use that to impress the world around!

But isn’t it competing with social papers like Paper.li or the big daddy, i.e. Flipboard? Here is a QnA with SoCXO team:

1. Given that Flipboard is now also available on web, a lot of users will prefer an app like that. How do you differentiate from that?

Flipboard has a lot of users (56 million +) already and is an excellent tool for consuming content. For curating it, you need to put in significant time and effort. In the case of SoCXO, we do the manual curation on your behalf while leaving some room for customization. SoCXO is platform independent; you can curate your content and publish to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for now (and other networks later) in the simplest way possible, whereas Flipboard helps you curate content in the form of magazines or channels for others to subscribe to.

SoCXO also offers users the option to subscribe for custom content (blurbs today and blogs / ghost posts tomorrow) Considering the differing value propositions, we bank on a lot of users not automatically preferring an app such as Flipboard. And, have you tried signing up for Flipboard on the web? They have messed that part up! (at least, for now!)

2. Plus, how do you differentiate SoCXO from a social newspaper (like paper.li)?

SoCXO focuses on a niche market. It is meant for a Business executive, with channels such as Industries, Professional Development and Personal Development (the scope will widen in the days to come, with the focus on TG intact).

Paper.li is complex. The user has to first create a paper, has to know what to subscribe to and what not to – an aspect that is generally painful for both the not-so-savvy users and the ones who can’t afford to spend the time. What is the tradeoff then? Customization, to an extent. People have other work to do (save for the social media agencies / ones whose primary task is to handle social media) and curating content shouldn’t suck too much time and effort. We are betting on users foregoing customization (to an extent) to save time and effort.

You need 3 clicks to share and 4 to schedule (via Buffer) in Paper.li. It takes 2 clicks to do it in SoCXO. As of now, we don’t offer complex scheduling options and we realized through our research that for individuals, most of the scheduling happens for the active day.

2. What’s your TG? Geography focus (from product adoption point of view)?

Business Executives – Individuals. USA and India.

3. How do you manually curate content (blurbs)?

We have built a backend system that helps in the process of the production of blurbs and the information flow. We work with online content experts (not domain experts,yet) (inhouse & freelance) to write and edit custom content.

–

The startup has more than 100 users using the product. In terms of future plans, the company will integrate with other social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn) and wants to enable users to strategize their online persona in an intuitive way.

Given the niche audience that SoCXO is targeting, the app should be a premium one and be seen as an extended magazine that CXOs can use.

Shopping for the right cradle is one of the top priorities for expecting parents. Last November Rahul Bhatt was a month away from becoming a father and started searching for the perfect cradle for babies. During the search he came across a report based on a study conducted by the University of Minnesota, which said that side-to-side motion, as in most cradles motion, induces dizziness and discomfort. He then took a dive into designing a forward motion cradle, which the study said was perceived as linear and soothing motion. He ended up producing the first product of his startup OCradle, Lulla- the forward motion cradle.

During his research he found out that, with an exception to a few imported ones, very few Indian brands retail good kid friendly furniture. This was one of the main reasons to start his bootstrapped company OCradle. The startup designs and develops multi-functional furniture for kids and Lulla is their first product. Currently the company is developing a range of baby cribs, multi-functional study tables, chairs and wooden educational toys along with ranges of cribs and beds.

For their flagship product, Lulla, they have tied up with speciality birthing centers like Apollo Cradle and others to display the product in their premise.

In the forward motion cradle segment, it doesn’t look like the company will be facing too much of a competition. This might not be the case in the kids furniture segment, which is the companies core segment. International players like Fisher Price and others who import of source their products from China are big competition.

The company hopes that its creative designs and locally manufactured tag will give it an advantage amongst parents looking to buy kids furniture. Domestic players like Vividha and WudPlay who also offer similar products for kids will offer considerable competition in the local market.

The startup soon plans to introduce customised options of its products to play-schools, once the new line is launched. They also plan to intensify their presence both online and offline, also setting up their own distribution network across India is in the books.

Currently most children’s toys and other products are mainly manufactured in China, this is also a major concern as in the past Chinese products have been deemed unsafe or in some cases even manufactured with toxic substances. In such a situations indigenously manufactured products will surely be on top of the priority list of most parents shopping for their kids, especially if they are able to push out products that are as functional and creative as their imported counterparts.

The founder Rahul Bhatt is an IITian and was previously running an e-commerce portal called furniturestreet.in, he was also the CEO of utile software solutions.

A classic John Travolta poster or a portrait of characters from a favourite sitcom, like Big Bang Theory, is not less than an asset for a diehard fan. Try Graphicurrystore.com, it features the latest wall hangings and fridge magnets of the famous movies, T.V shows and music bands.

In early 2011, Prasad Bhat started an art & design studio by the name of “Graphicurry Digital Art” for a niche cult of Indian users. What differentiated this artist and his venture among the crowd was his DIGITAL style of drawing, the characters and the theme, and the detailed thoughts that goes in each of his work. Graphicurry sells hand-drawn digital caricatures by Prasad. Now that’s a bit strange, hand drawn and digital at the same time?

Prasad has specialized in this vector style of art where he uses Adobe Illustrator to draw the designs, which are then printed on Sun board, Vinyl and Magnets. The company has gained popularity among the youth and working class of Indian population. Currently, the startup has designs in three categories i.e., Movies, T.V Shows and Music. Caricatures of famous characters from sitcoms like Games of Thrones, of movies like Hangover and of music bands like The Beatles, all which has a fan following is made by Prasad.

Recently, the Bangalore based startup went online. The website features close to 44 artworks and 9 magnets and is witnessing close to 300 visitors daily. On an average it is doing 10 to 15 transactions a day with the average price ticket of Rs 575. That number of transactions in less than a month of going online is pretty cool. The reason for such high user engagement on the portal is the fan following that the design studio has built over the course of past three years (Facebook page has more than 13,000 likes).

Until now, the art studios was using Facebook page as a platform for providing latest info about the upcoming pop up stores, new art designs and stuff like that, no wonder if it is one of the key reasons to drive traffic on the portal.

George Alex who takes care of Business Development & Digital Marketing says, “We spend quite a lot on social media and it is working well with us”. On the first day of launch of the website we saw more than 20 transactions, the reason is lot of our fans want us to sell online, he said.

Interestingly, Prasad is the only artist in the company, hence all editions are limited and exclusive. Sun board paintings and fridge magnets are of low cost, starting from Rs 500 and Rs 200 respectively while the vinyl ones goes up to Rs 10,000.

Cash on Delivery is available only in Bangalore with additional shipping fee of Rs 25, for elsewhere in India, Rs 50 are charged as shipping fee.

Graphicurry is a classic example of multichannel retailing, evolving online after creating its presence through non digital mediums. Earlier, the brand used to sell through retail outlets, Pop up shops and by exhibiting in related events like Kitsch Mandi (Bangalore), NH7 Weekender, Comic Con India. Though, startup in online now, it will keep its omnichannel presence, says George.

The website will introduce mugs and exclusive section in weeks to come, to expand the product line. Another Indian startup which has products on the similar lines is Chumbak, It started with fridge magnets and now has items such as T-shirts, coin cases, mobile covers, laptop bags and many others, which comes with a printed text or design.

A group of startups from Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi are coming together to try and help the relief and rehabilitation efforts for the victims of the Uttarakhand floods that happened a couple of months ago.

In June this year a cloudburst over the state of Uttarakhand caused devastating floods and landslides that ravaged the state and brought everything to a stand still. The current situations, even though better than back in June, is still not good, and as time passes people also tend to slowly forget about the incident and relief funds also start reducing.

Today there is an chance that an epidemic that could break loose, and authorities have begun to suspect that water contamination by decaying and uncovered dead bodies might be major factor for this.

Inspite of the availability of relief medicine, food and other relief items for the victims, flood rampaged roads destroyed further by landslides and inaccessibility have made it very difficult to reach the victims.

Even relief and rescue work by helicopter are hampered due to the bad weather in the region, currently aid teams need to trek for days together to reach remote villages for distributing relief supplies.

The try and help with a lot of these issues Rebuild Uttarakhand project has brought together a group of startups from across the country to help with the efforts. The projects plans to setup a base cam in Uttarkashi, liaison with local authorities to identify and prioritize areas depending on the urgency for relief support and then sent out a team of 20-30 people to trek with relief supplies and rations to the villages. The project hopes that they will be able to maintain an effective supply chain for atleast 60 days.

Startups like airpix.in are involved in offering drones for aerial surveillance and aerial delivery of medicines to disaster areas. Startups with an online delivery platform are helping channel in-kind donations from across the country for the relief operations. A hackathon to encourage developing web and telecom applications for disaster management and relief cam is also being planned.

You can find details about the project and how you can help the effort here.

In the past we have seen Google launch a People Finder and a Crisis Map to help victims of the flash floods. The government of Uttarakhand had also launched a search engine to help you track victims admitted in various hospitals during the floods.
