Recognized among Top 100 Red Herring North America company
listings, YuppTV joins the prestigious global league of Technology Pioneers
& Innovators.
YuppTV, a world leader in delivering over-the-top (OTT) South
Asian Content, live TV, video on demand, and on-demand Movie Solutions,
announced that it has won the coveted Red Herring Top 100 North America Award.
Red Herring annually honors the most promising private technology companies
that are positioned to become market leaders within their respective sectors.
YuppTV was selected from among hundreds of technology/life science companies in
North America and the only company to be awarded in the entertainment & media
sector.
The Red Herring Top 100 award is widely recognized as one of the
industry’s more prestigious recognitions, with hundreds of candidates from each
continent competing for a Top 100 spot. Since 1996, Red Herring 100 lists have
been valued by technology industry executives, investors, and strategists as an
instrument for discovering and advocating the most promising private ventures
from around the world. Some of the previous notable winners include Google,
Facebook, Twitter, Skype and eBay
As part of the rigorous three step vetting process, the Red
Herring editorial team analyses approximately 1,200 cutting edge companies,
only awarding those organizations that not just meet – but surpassed – their
criteria for success.
“In 2015, selecting the top achievers was by no means a small
feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “In fact, we had the
toughest time in years because so many entrepreneurs had crossed significant
milestones so early. But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and
discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across
North America to the North America winners. We believe YuppTV embodies the
vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture.
YuppTV should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very
strong.”
YuppTV’s selection for the award among key players in an
intensely competitive industry was based on high scores achieved in levels of
speciality, social contribution, international foot print, growth rate,
technological advantage, team quality and experience as well as exemplary
performance, on all other counts.
"It is an honor to be recognized by Red Herring from among
some of the best ventures in the industry." said UdaynandanReddy, CEO of
YuppTV. “With continued focus on customer needs and end-user experience,
innovation and technology to deliver live and video on demand content globally,
we look forward to even greater success in the future."
