Low consumption of bandwidth allows users to consume more content at the same cost on WEB and Mobile.The awards, which have witnessed massive interest from companies all across the country, aim to spotlight future IT companies with a focus on segment-wide trends and analysis. The NASSCOM team, the jury members- have selected Zenga Media as one of the top10 emerging 50 companies in India.
Recognising the performance, proliferation and increasing importance of emerging companies within the IT-BPO, telecom ecosystem, NASSCOM has been actively tracking their evolution and growth.

Mr. Sharad Sharma, Chair NASSCOM Product Forum, speaking on the occasion said, "With strong support for software products, India's ability and prowess of building strong intellectual property can be parlayed into tremendous value in a global context. India with 200,000 R&D software engineers and one of the largest R&D footprints in the world has one of the strongest value-creation engines in software. The Government can be of immense support while still sustaining its role as a pure-play regulator and facilitator. For instance, in allowing the use of "card-not-present" recurring transactions which are less than Rs. 25,000 per month when the same card and same merchant id is used. This is required for SaaS based subscription revenue model based solutions. While most payment systems support this capability, government regulations do not allow it. This is an anomaly specific to India as no other major country has this regulation."

Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.
"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Asia to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Zenga TV embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Zenga TV should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
Commenting on this Mr. Shabir Momiin, CEO, Zenga TV, said, "We are very pleased to be awarded the Red Herring TOP 100 Asia 2011; it is indeed an honorable recognition of our significant contribution towards the telecom sector which we accomplished by bringing entertainment-on-the-go in the form of mobile TV service."
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Asia.
