Two Gurgaon-based start-ups in NYT Global Unicorn List

OYO Rooms, which is an online hotel booking portal and Grofers, a Gurgaon-based hyper-local delivery company, are among 50 companies that may be the next start-up unicorns, according to research carried out by CB Insights for The New York Times.

The report said there are currently 131 startups globally which are currently valued at $1 billion, also known as startup unicorns.

Among the Indian firms who've reached this stage includes e-commerce marketplaces Flipkart and Snapdeal, mobile commerce and digital payment processor Paytm, taxi aggregator Ola, online restaurant guide Zomato, mobile advertising firm InMobi, domestic handset maker Micromax and Big Data & analytics solution provider Mu Sigma.

Quikr too is on the verge of getting in to that list, with its investor valuing it already at $900 million.

The CB Insights’ Next-50 Unicorns list, was built upon by the research firm by running a data screen and factoring in the amount of funding raised, employee turnover and social media mentions.

"The exact valuations of the companies are hard to pin down because the start-ups are private and are not required to disclose their finances, but CB Insights determined that they might be on a path toward a $1 billion value through an algorithm that analysed factors including amount of financing raised, employee turnover and social media mentions," the New York Times article said.

Grofers, started by Albinder Dhindsa and Saurabh Kumar in 2013, allows customers to place an order through a mobile app and receive delivery of food, groceries, toiletries and other items within 90 minutes.

The service is headquartered in Gurgaon, and has raised close to $45 million in 3 rounds, with the most recent one getting it $36 million from two of the biggest investors into Indian startups — Tiger Global and Sequoia.

Oyo Rooms, which is the newest of them all, is the one to watch out though. OYO Rooms which started life as an Airbnb clone called Oravel in 2012, pivoted to its current budget hotel aggregator model in June last year.

Oyo raised $100 million investment led by SoftBank earlier this month, just about five months after securing Rs 125 crore from San Francisco-based Greenoaks Capital and existing investors.

Oyo has presence in more than 90 cities including Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

Gather Latest Business News with Mobile News Apps

The days when we dipped into newspapers, flicked through channels, or tuned in to radio to get our daily dose of news have sunk into oblivion as the time has rolled by and technology has made soaring strides. In those days of the past, we depended rather heavily on these three avenues, which marked dominance of media houses on the world. However, in the modern times, these three avenues have made way in favour of internet, which has literally edged media houses out of news creation landscape. This has prompted the need for these media houses to put tinkering into their services to hold up against the realm of web by transferring news to a web platform. Further, web continues to tighten leash on the domain by distributing news of all sorts, such as latest business news at a faster pace with each passing day.

Mobile News Apps

10 Things About Sundar Pichai Even Google Cannot Search

Sundar Pichai, the Indian wizard from Tamil Nadu, was little known until Tuesday. But then, when Google became just another ‘Alphabet’, the name became one of the, coincidentally, most ‘Googled’ one. This semiconductor engineer joined Google in 2004, and close to a decade with the giants, he’s all set to spearhead its renewed avatar. While the world is going gaga over his soft-spokenness and management skills, here are some shades of Pichai that even Google might take time to tell.

1. Apart from his engineering degree and management skills, what many people don’t know is the fact that Pichai has a remarkable cricketing prowess. That’s right. Indian, IITian, head of Google, and a cricketer! Everything that a trademark Indian loves, all rolled into one! He lead the school team and even won many inter-school, inter-city and inter-state competitions! Oh wait, he plays chess too!
2. Perhaps, one of Pichai’s secret to a meteoric rise was the fact that he didn’t watch TV when he was young. Not because he didn't like it, but because his family didn't have one. So, the next time kids complain about less TV time, Pichai can come to the rescue!
3. Pichai has an amazing memory. Not just does he remember all tasks that he needs to tick off (that itself is a huge task!), but is also good at remembering things like phone numbers. And this isn’t even a recent development; he had this talent since childhood!
4. The talent this guy has doesn’t really stop at that. He’s been Google’s official EmCee (Master of Ceremonies) at the Annual Developer Conference for the past two years!
5. He’s married to Anjali, his long time girlfriend and has two children -- a son and a daughter. That’s a great addition to his small family that has mother, father and a brother.
6. Do you know who gave Satya Nadella a run for his money? Yes, that’s right, the man of the moment, Sundar Pichai was in the running for Microsoft’s top post, it seems! In fact, even LinkedIn had tried to poach him! Quite in demand, eh?
7. You know who’s the brain behind Chrome’s toolbar that defended it from Microsoft's attacks? Yes.
8. His LinkedIn profile is yet to be changed. As of Wednesday, a day after the big announcement, it still reads: “SVP, Chrome and Apps, Google”
9. You know what’s his favourite food? Naah, not some fancy five star stuff, but a typical South Indian’s ultimate comfort food -- curd rice.
10. The top gun at Google, Pichai’s pet name at home is Rajesh.
