Indeed high-growth startup companies are the lifeblood of the technology industry. New and innovative business ideas are craving validation, new customers, and valuable resources. Many of the fledgling companies that are experiencing rapid growth are on their way to venture funding, going public, or on their way to achieve the dream of becoming the technology giants in their respective space. Despite economic turmoil, the Indian technology segment performed remarkably well in 2009, leaving behind few hiccups here and there. Infact recession has taught Indian companies and startups to become more competitive, customer driven and remain more sensitive to market demand rather than just the technology driven. Industry pundits opine that Indian technology growth story is expected to continue through 2010.

Witnessing the trend the SmartTechie announces the prestigious "Top 25 Emerging Technology Companies" list. This merit roll is an annual listing of the top 25 Technology companies in India that will lead the next wave of disruption and cutting-edge innovation.

We at the SmartTechie believe that each company in this annual list had all those, which is needed to climb ladder of success as their products and plans are indeed progressive, and the technologies are groundbreaking. Perhaps, what makes all of them to tick is their innovative and need based approach. As usual the final merit list was decided by our panel of judges consisting of accomplished CEOs, CIOs, VCs, and analysts including the SmartTechie editorial team based on following criteria. Ease of use, evidence of success, scalability and monetization potential. And of course, based on nominations we received from our esteemed readers.
