Meet the chef everyday!

This bright spot among the startups also aims to raise an additional Rs 20 – 30 crore in the coming months to realize its full potential.

A technology to track your sugar!
Diabeto is a solution that was most needed in the times when diabetes is turning out to be a silent killer on the prowl. It is a hardware device which plugs into existing glucometers to transfer the sugar reading from the sugar testing machine, using Bluetooth to an Android device that has the diabeto app installed.

This startup initially raised $70,000 in total, and was offered an additional $500,000 in case the business was interested in staying in Chile. Well, India being the better and lucrative market of the two, the minds behind Diabeto decided to be home in India. Now, time can reveal whether this decision was a good one or otherwise.

Love across technology
Truly Madly, in short, is a dating app that helps connect lovelorn people who are looking to meet the ‘right’ kind of partners who could be separated by mere geography. Worry no more! Started by Sachin Bhatia, Truly Madly is a dating app that was meant to cater to the love needs of people between age group 18 and 26 years. What’s the greatest cut the app has been able to make above the rest of the players in the same space? TM is about being a responsible app that connects people only after verifying their identity. No space for grasshoppers here. This app raised nearly Rs 35 crore funding early this year.

Tasks? Don’t worry!
TaskBob conceived by Aseem who wanted to help average Indians meet their needs to run chores by way of roping in some experienced and reliable handymen was a dream come true for many people who simply find such tasks time consuming and exhausting since they have a long history of being conned at getting small jobs done. Now, no more sweat about menial tasks because TaskBob takes care of the entire gamut of requirements that need the attention of an expert plumber, painter, carpenter or just about anyone who is not on your friends’ list! The startup raised $ 1.2 mn from Orios and Mayfield in April this year. TaskBob is focusing on Mumbai right now, and has plans to expand soon.

No teething problems!

MyDentist, apart from its most successful run, also raised funds up to Rs 50 crore recently.

When the trade is of a drink
Mihir Desai of The Bar Stock Exchange came up with the idea of setting up India’s first stock market based pub chain where drink prices changed based on the real-time demand and supply. Drinking at TBSE does not only give you a high on the drink alone, but also the empowered kick of having monitored the stock market at the same time. One of the most promising, innovative, fun and unique start up of our times that is bound to catch the fancy of more than drinkers alone. Go, savour that crash!
