    which include Retail Showrooms (such as Automobile Showrooms, Clothes and Fashion Retailers, ) ,

    Boardrooms and Presentation Rooms, Hospitality (in Hotel Lobbies and Airports) as well as in Out of Home

    Advertising. Using our unique and easy to use gesture platform companies can build immersive experiences

    for their customers.

    TEAM Raghav Aggarwal and Abhinav Aggarwal are self-learnt coders and winners at the TechCrunch Disrupt

    Hackathon in New York. Their company has won several awards for its highly innovative and pathbreaking

    advertising a complete product which includes our software along with a Kinect for Windows Device provided

    by Microsoft. The initial product would include five apps which would be included with the product itself

    These apps would include a product catalogue,3d viewer, Presentation app and an Information app, people

    counter app, feedback app. The companies would be sold a onetime software license along with an annual

    commercial bases. The indirect competition would consist of other interactive tools such as touch screens,

    interactive and simple displays used by entreprises and retail brands.

    CONCEPT Established in 2011, the company thus does not cater to one single problem but many which are ignored

    otherwise. We identify new ways to serve and support people by uncovering latent needs, behaviors, and

    desires. We thus see ourselves working on problems in related to agriculture, finance, technology,

    automation etc. We find ourselves functioning as an open R&D department, not only for technology but for

    every problem that we face. An RnD department for companies, individual entities; large or small. Initially, we

    wish to target technology: replacing inferior highly priced gadgets with simple, low priced applications.

    Mr. G. Vishwanathan, Operations: Independent director at Doshion Ltd and Atlanta Ltd. and Chartered

    accountant since 25 years.

    BUSINESS MODEL i-Studio would be a firm that takes a human-centered, design-based approach to help organizations in the

    public and private sectors innovate and grow. Almost every Multinational corporation has a research and

    development cell. Micro, small and medium scale enterprise which plays major role in earning GDP, do not

    have the resources to establish an RnD. They, thus might need innovation, but are not able to apply since for

    them, the investment is too huge and return might be low. The pain point thus being addressed is inability of

    micro, small and medium scale industries to apply continuous improvement method and in-turn stay away

    from optimized use of their resources.

    COMPETITOR OVERVIEW IDEO: The firm promises to be an innovation hub and has been globally recognized as one of the top 100

    innovation firms in the world. The company has an advantage of having well-placed resources but is not as

    much active in India.

    NIF: National Innovation Foundation is one of the premier foundations which urge students to work on

    industrial problems. The foundation has an advantage of being established but the since the workforce is not

    experienced and the workforce has not been proportionately motivated. It faces a huge issue of not working

    in synchronization.

    PRODUCT EXECUTION All of i-Studios work would be done in consideration of the capabilities of their clients and the needs of the

    clients customers. As they iterate toward a final solution, I-Studio continuously reassess our designs. Their

    goal is to deliver appropriate, actionable, and tangible strategies. Under this system, i-Studio uses both

    analytical tools and generative techniques to help clients see how their new or existing operations could look

    in the future and build road maps for getting there.

    an affordable SaaS solution for doctors with practices of all sizes. Dr. Oxy is the ideal solution for doctors with

    small/medium practices as it generally highly expensive and time consuming to maintain patient records in

    any format and there is always the problem of scheduling that mostly clashes with the thin barrier between

    their personal life and their professional life.

    charge of sales and marketing.

    Prathiba Menon: Entrepreneur with over 5 years of professional experience From a technical background,

    cost/maintenance fees. The yearly subscription offers the doctors the option to pay for 10 months and use

    for 12 months. The revenue stream is comes in two ways: (i) Licensing based and (ii) Maintenance fee (or) (i)

    Installation cost and (ii) Software licensing + maintenance which would bring in steady revenue even after the

    manage their practices and maintain records.

    There are bigger EHR/EMR providers in India like Vepro, which cater only towards large hospitals and other

    providers that focus on medium scale hospitals

    PRODUCT EXECUTION The framework for Dr. Oxy comes in three tiers. There are different levels of work that need to be focused on.

    The key levels are the Web Interface, Tablet/Mobile interface and Cloud Hosting. Further enhancements to

    to create breakthrough creative solutions to solve user predicaments.

    BUSINESS MODEL BuyHatke forms the bridge between the shopper and the portal which the shopper finally uses. Although the

  • CONCEPT MindArray synchronizes and correlates incidents from hybrid enterprise IT network by monitoring end to end

    component such as network device, server, application, cloud apps. Its better than traditional monitoring,

    because Admin are able to find root cause fast and can minimize troubleshooting. This results in maximum

    service-levels and performance efficiency and cost savings. We help IT admins who are struggling to keep

    close eye on each component and cant detect the incident before complains.

    up to thousands of devices on single deployment. The rates charged are as per device or resource that is

    monitored. Annual per monitor cost starts at $25 with minimum 50 monitors and $21 with minimum 250

    monitors.

    MARKET OPPORTUNITY Network admins continue to find that no monitoring tool serves all their needs. Most of them have few basic

    needs: 1. Monitor network performance. 2 Monitor server availability and hardware faults.3 Manage cloud

    capacity planning and performance. 4 Analyze events and log and parse netflow in network. 6 Take network

    configuration backups. For SME and Mid-size business normally they would use multiple monitoring system

    or not monitoring everything due to budget issues.

    COMPETITOR OVERVIEW IBM, BMC, HP and CA do a good job monitoring infrastructure but they are legacy tools and their

    deployment, maintenance limits the correlation between events and also adds extra layer of complexity.

    Others such as Solarwinds, ManageEngine, Paessler have come out with different products for different

    admin needs and force user to buy add-ons and plugins and supports limited functionality.

    PRODUCT EXECUTION We have just released MindArray IPM 2. The current product monitors and centralizes incidents from any

    source like network device, server, application, cloud, and network config backup. Product delivers

    unmatched scalability. Next milestone is to add profiler for hadoop map reduce framework, business

    transaction monitoring and Big Data monitoring. End product would not only help network admin but also

    will serve to CIO and CTO.
