Thiruvananthapuram: MobME (Mobile Media and Entertainment), a young startup that budded from a Kerala IT campus, has stepped in to the league of IT majors like Infosys, TCS, CTS, HP and Texas Instruments in the Nasscom's list of top 100 Indian IT Innovators 2007, released this week. MobME is the youngest company entry in the Nasscom roster.
The company was formed by a bunch of engineering college students in Kerala and has raised about $250,000 from NRI investors. "The entry gives credence that innovation can happen in backyards too," said Sanjay Vijayakumar, CEO, MobME.
Mobshare, which is in closed beta and hosted at www.mobshare.in, is a platform that allows users to transfer images from mobile phones to the Internet over a social network. It also comprises video and photo sharing features and allows users to create individual profiles for each user. Some of their other applications are Blue Zone and Blue Messenger that make use of the bluetooth technology and Fast Alerts which can be used to send bulk SMS. Nasscom had evaluated the Mobshare platform before allowing the young company into the innovator list.
Currently, CNN-IBN uses the Mobshare technology to power up its Citizen Journalism Initiative. Using this, citizen can send photos from their mobile phones directly to CNN-IBN studio using MMS Technology.
