Hyderabad: 23rd June, 2015
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 analyzes
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 specialty, 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 Udaynandan Reddy, 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."
