 "Kloseby, ShopsUp, Affordplan and more: Check out the rising startups in India")
Ecommerce and location-based shopping deals make up half this list today, with a healthy peppering of edtech, SaaS, analytics, and healthcare finance.
Math Buddy
The western coast city of Vadodara in Gujarat, India, is the base of Math Buddy, which develops interactive tools and games to help children navigate their way through the perils of elementary math.
Kloseby
Not to be punny, but tech startup Kloseby specializes in proximity. It’s just raised $100,000 in seed funding from an undisclosed investor. The deals depend on what stores are nearest the user.
VideoVibe
Founded in September this year, VideoVibe helps track YouTube analytics, giving users simplified graphs and charts.
ShopsUp
Similar to Kloseby, location-based shopping app ShopsUp has raised nearly $970,000 in seed funding.
The app lets users collect points (called shots) by walking into partner stores. These can then be redeemed for rewards that include free movie tickets, cab rides, spa vouchers, and gift vouchers.
HandyTrain
SaaS corporate training platform HandyTrain has bagged $1 million in funding from various investors.
HandyTrain got its start at Goa-based incubator Prototyze. Its customers include Uber, Cipla, Airtel, and Kotak.
Affordplan
Affordplan helps patients undergoing non-emergency procedures to save up in advance. It lists pregnancy, eye care, dental care, and plastic surgeries as examples.
Indofash Ethnic
Bangalore-based Indofash sells heirloom products and embroideries from different parts of India. It’s raised over $146,000 in funding from two angel investors: Shekhar Sahu and Nitesh Pant.
Wholesalebox
WholesaleBox provides doorstep delivery to retailers in unbranded and local-brand ethnic wear markets. It claims to sell goods for 25 to 30 percent less of what stores would normally pay.
