The 9th,10th & 15th are my favourite startups, and I know you would also like their initiative. So Here we go…
1. Rivigo
We all want faster delivery of our products right? Rivigo is trying to solve this problem by its unique solution, even better than couriers and is one of the most innovative startups in India. Trucks are usually responsible for the delivery of goods, and trucking in India is in bad shape due to driver shortage.
Many long-distance trucks have two drivers, taking turns to sleep. Other trucks have only one driver, fighting sleep (most often with medicines). Rivigo has replaced this with a relay system. Each driver drives 4.5 hours to a company pit stop and hands over to another driver who again drives 4.5 hours to the next pit stop and so on. According to Rivigo, this cuts delivery time for Bengaluru-Mumbai from 110 hours to 44 hours. This is twice the speed of some courier companies and maximizes truck utilization.
They also promise delivery from anywhere to anywhere in India in just 3 days, against the industry delivery standard of 7-8 day.
2. Bewakoof.com
You must have seen people around you adoring their amazing t-shirts or you might be having one in your closet. These t-shirts have one most spectacular thing in common. Their designs are quirky, out of the box and highly relatable to the masses.
Started with an initial investment of Rs 30000, ‘Bewakoof.com’ has now reached a turnover of about 10 crore rupees. Every day, they launch a new design at an affordable price of just Rs 250. With a social media fan base of about 1.5 million people, the site receives half a million customers every day.
3. Pass It On
This innovative startup is unique in its offerings and is the “India’s first free stuff website“. PassItOn helps you to donate your unwanted items like books, clothes, furniture, electronic gadgets to needy people and organizations using PassItOn as a platform.
Their purpose is to provide an online platform to the general public to connect with the needy and make donation an easy process.
4. Flyrobe
Now tell me the truth, “What do I wear for this wedding/party/meeting?“ isn’t one of the biggest problems in our life? Sometimes what looks good on you, is really expensive to buy. But don’t worry, some IIT Bombay graduates came up with this innovative idea.
Flyrobe is a shared virtual closet for women who need to dress up really good for that perfect occasion.
The idea is this: Flyrobe stocks designer stuff, dresses and accessories every fashionista wants but is unaffordable for them. So, to solve this issue what Flyrobe does is: they offer these on rent. You choose from their collection, pay a fixed nominal rental amount irrespective of rental period and they ship it to you. Once done, you simply ask them to take it away, and they will come to pick it up from your home.
Isn’t it a life saver for all woman. (Just being sarcastic, ha ha!)
5. Bloodman
Bloodman App, a great app, helps people that are desperately in need of blood, it connects with those that are in a position to help/donate blood, and which is why it is in our most innovative startups in India list.
Bloodman is a location-based mobile app for blood donation without any hidden charges.
Just, imagine one of your family members needs blood on an urgent basis and you are not able to find it in a blood bank. What will you do? You can call all your contacts and ask for a blood or just request for your required type of blood on Bloodman. The second option is more suitable because you can directly connect with any nearby donors if its an urgency.
6. KhataBook
Data is now cheap in India and smartphone’s use is on the rise. However, a large number of small businesses prefer recording business transactions in books. Most of them still rely on old practices such as making bills on paper,
Khatabook app is the system of record for their business dealings, an equivalent of a business ledger on their mobile phones KhataBook, aims to leverage the trend of increased smartphone use in merchants by becoming the first business accounting software they’ve used.
Khatabook says, that the app has helped its users to recover approximately $5 billion stuck in credit in the space of six months.
7. Pepperfry
Launched in 2012, Pepperfry is one of the biggest names in the eCommerce sector. Ambareesh Murty and Ashish Shah founded it to offer consumers a variety of lifestyle products. It then evolved to sell furniture and home décor products, creating its own niche in the market. The company is now a household name in most of India’s big cities and its huge inventory includes more than 80,000 products in various furnishing and home décor sourced from merchants, artisans and big brands.
The company has a reputation for its customer service and for the craftsmanship of products marketed on their platform.
8. Inshorts
Most of you must be knowing about inshorts now a days. It is an app which cuts down all News to 60-word short.
Azhar Iqubal, Anunay Arunav of IIT Delhi, and Deepit Purkayastha of IIT Kharagpur started in 2013, News in Shorts. Their view was that though the youth of the country were ready to spend hours on Facebook or Whatsapp, they were not even aware of the most important news topics of the day.
From their personal experience, they knew that it was not easy for a youngster to keep up with the news because of the sheer volume and number of stories published every day. So they decided to start a service that provided summaries laden with only facts and figures, devoid of opinions to make it easier to consume for the youth and those who are short on time.
Due to this innovative idea, it is in our innovative startups in India list.

The startup has built a contraption (Kaalink) connecting to the exhaust pipe of a vehicle, and once it is done collecting the raw carbon, i.e. soot, it is purified to make ink out of pollution.
10. SatSure
SatSure is a satellite Big Data analytics startup, founded in December 2015 by five young ex-ISRO scientists to revolutionize the agriculture sector by commoditizing satellite, weather & IoT data.
The best thing which I like about SatSure is how the team of young Indian entrepreneurs are exploring different avenues by combining various technologies to help the most important section of our society: the farmers. I really appreciate the way they are using technology as an enabler to solve real-world problems.
11. Chaayos
