Wanna be one of the top 25 emerging companies?

How are you doing?
Greetings from The Smarttechie-SiliconIndia.

    Shame on these folks. They are going to spoil the whole ecosystem.

    NEN hottest startups was another hoax to say with all the so called expert ratings from people who know nothing about business, technology or management, candidate lists including companies with > 5 yrs of existence calling themselves start-ups.

  2. Most of the magazines earn their bread and butter this way… I believe most of the surveys also are fueled by vitamin M

    @Shrinidhi: Vitamin M :) Lol

  4. SmartTechie lacks content and that is why they don’t sell. Such kind of horrible stuff can only do one thing for them….GET THEM COMPLETELY OFF THE GROUND :)

    Shame on them !!!
