ENTREPRENEUR/STARTUP SPECIAL...IN SMALL TOWNS(1)



Startups Bloom in Small Towns

Entrepreneurs are tapping small towns that are low on cost and high on talent to live their dreams

WAYBEO
Based in Thiruvananthapuram, Waybeo Technology Solutions was launched in 2009 by a group of six friends and focuses on wireless communication. The company, which is based in Technopark, an IT technology park in the Kerala capital, has developed an inbound calling platform, BounzD. The product is embedded on any online campaign, like an email, which a company sends out and with just a click of the mouse, a customer can dial up the company right from the online campaign. The product was commercially rolled out in September. The company has around 500 enterprise clients, including Sahara Group, Landmark, Puravankara Projects and Mantri Developers. Waybeo is launching the product in the US next month in the Software-asa-Service version. “We have sales and marketing offices in Mumbai and Gurgaon and we are opening another office in Bangalore. But our main development centre will continue to be in Thiruvan-anthapuram,” said Bushairusalam AP, the CEO of the company, who is targeting a revenue of Rs 2.5 crore this financial year.
