For Indian Local Food Discovery, Try Talking Street a Nasscom Integrated Startup

Ever wondered where to go for the best Chowpatty-like Pav Bhaji in a particular city, or where to find Delhi-style chaat when you are craving for it, or wanted to eat at an authentic local joint when traveling? The idea behind Talking Street is to help people discover popular, local food and distinct local joints when in any city in India, including street food, hole-in-the-wall eateries, unique cafes etc., which aren’t traditionally a part of popular restaurant & dining discovery platforms. Talking Street is, thus, a local food discovery platform. While existing players in the food discovery domain help people find restaurants based on cuisine, dishes & location (filtered by reviews, ratings), Talking Street helps people discover food which is difficult to locate on these p...

Jobsinfinit.com- Infinite Answers to Infinite Job Requirements

The world is quite large for those who explore and quite small for those who create! People often find it quite difficult when it comes to searching a service, commodity, a person or anything that they seek. With the intervention of Internet, and technically speaking with the help of Search Engines over the internet it has become quite easy to search for a commodity.

Jab We Ate: A kolkata based startup will provide you “Maa ke hatth ka khana”

It is very important for any human being to eat healthy and fresh in order to sustain the hardship of everyday life. The world has transformed into a cutthroat competition and because of this many of us leave our families and move to other cities to give a complete transformation to ourselves. In the midst of everything, among the various thing one misses is "Ma ke haath ka khana" definitely is on the top most.

This Indian lady has done an experiment, purchased from all online Hyperlocal Grocery stores to check their end results!!!

It’s Saturday morning and a hyperlocal experiment is playing on my mind. I have decided to fix a basket of goods and order from each of the new hyperlocal superstars that have hit the scene. Taking a page from the recent coverage, I chose the following: Grofers Peppertap Flipkart Nearby Amazon Kirana Snapdeal Instant Ola Store ZopNow Next I needed to fix a basket of goods that were across product groups like fruits & veggies, grocery/staples, branded foods and home cleaning products. This would also allow comparison of quality (I can expect variations in fruits and any in-house item like dal) and availability and discounts to MRP for packaged goods. It also needed to be stuff I could use 5 times over since everything is ideally going to arrive the same day! Have b...

In India, Use Pocketin For Selecting Restaurants And Request For a Particular Discounts

Why should we just settle for the discounts that the restaurants offer us? Why can’t we demand the discount we think we deserve for the business that we give the restaurants? With this question in mind, the idea of Pocketin was born. In the world of fixed discounts in restaurants, the founders of Pocketin wanted to create a more dynamic ecosystem, where the diners would have a much better deal if they would be visiting on weekday mornings compared to weekends or if they are spending a higher amount. Being big time foodies themselves, Kshitij and Anirudh, two engineering graduates started working on Pocketin, an app where a user can select his favorite restaurants and request for a particular discount from each one of them. The request then instantly shows up on the respective restaur...

This Notice came right from the hostel corridors of IIT Delhi

I am constantly surprised to what limits the young and dynamic human minds are pushing their limits regardless of the fact of their age, surrounding, and no matter how tough the conditions be. The startup I was about to interview was a piece of work done, not by a person who had tremendous experience of working with big firms like Google or Microsoft, neither he had a support from a multi-millionaire investor or is he very famous. This startup comes right from the corridors of hostel of IIT Delhi, whose plan was not discussed in an air-conditioned meeting room, the startup that was developed while sitting on grass of the college campus, the startup that has been downloaded by over 1000+ users in just a couple of days from Aughust 2015, the day it was launched. It was just a great opport...

Solar batteries – The Surprising Reason on Why Indian PM Modi Visited Tesla

Written by Prashin Chaturvedi, Business Transformation Leader - India's Prime Minister Mr. Modi visited the Silicon Valley last month, and on the itinerary were the obvious inclusions - Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft. Also on the list was a curious entry - Tesla. Why Tesla? Modi surely did not make the high-profile visit to get an early sneak peak into the new Model X. Modi, it turns out, wasn't there to bring Tesla's relatively expensive electric car technology to India, he was there to learn more about one of Tesla's lesser known products - their lithium-ion home battery system - Powerwall. Great discussion about solar/batteries empowering rural communities — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) Sep 27, 2015 Powerwall is a wall-mounted lithium-ion home battery system designed to store energy f...
