This week in Asia start-ups

Tech in Asia presents you with the hottest Asian start-ups making the news

 

Evolable Asia | Japan

Tokyo-based start-up Evolable Asia runs three popular online travel portals of its own. An additional 600 domestic travel sites use its in-house technology to power their own flight, hotel, and tour package searches.

Insider | Turkey

Istanbul-based Insider describes itself as a “predictive marketing technology company,” and offers a SaaS product helping businesses increase sales conversion and revenue. Its services are used by over 200 paying enterprise clients, including the likes of MasterCard, Ebay, and AVIS. 

 

U-Hop | Philippines

Similar to Uber and its ilk, u-Hop allows commuters to book rides through its website and app. However, unlike Uber, U-Hop makes use of shuttles, which can seat seven to 12 passengers per trip. All trips are scheduled in advance, and fares are paid the same way. Prices are fixed at a monthly rate and are cheaper than a roundtrip by taxi or a normal shuttle. This start-up was also the winner of our recent Arena pitch battle at Tech in Asia Jakarta 2015.

Hello English | India

Hello English is an app that teaches English to speakers of 15 different Indian languages. It is designed with adults in mind who are learning English as a second language. Besides 250 built-in lessons for a user, it also uses games, virtual conversations, and, for more experienced users, the news to teach English and create a higher level of engagement.
 

Quiver | New Zealand

Quiver is a nifty start-up that is trying to bring the augmented reality experience to coloring. Users download and print content from the Quiver site, fill it with any colors they fancy, and then hover the Quiver app over it to watch their drawings come to life.
