Yesterday, the NASSCOM Product Conclave, kicked off with a Product LaunchPad. 50+ Product Startups had submitted their entries for a chance to be showcased in an exclusive interaction with the Media and Bloggers. 10 were shortlisted. The purpose of this interaction was to introduce some of these innovative product companies to the Media. Sadly, as I look through some of the editions of ‘mainstream’ publications today. The startups themselves haven’t been given much coverage, if at all.
So I’m going to run through the 10 products that were presented to the Media :
1) Vimagino - Vhelp Angels
