With the growing popularity of mobile applications telecom companies, software designers, and users have channelized all their efforts in the development of mobile applications. The Indian telecom sector had predicted the mobile phone user base in the country to touch the 500 million mark by this year. The challenge is to provide the users with variety of options in their cellphones as they have confined their personal and professional lives in their mobiles. In such a scenario, Divum could think of developing varied applications that would come handy for mobile users to perform any task right through their cells. This idea crept into their mind in a period when the world was scathed by the global economic downturn.

Divum is an Indian startup, which is focused on mobile application development and has developed more than 120 apps last year, covering various platforms like iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia, Android. It was established by Vaideeswaran Sethuraman, who is an EDA engineer with 15+ years of experience, and Sreelakshmi Vaideeswaran, who has a passion for graphic designing and business practices roles. At a time when mobile applications in India were hardly known and available only for a few platforms, Divum planned to make various mobile apps pervasive and compatible on variety of platforms.
