Here is a quick look at the companies that are showcased at the event.

Focused on adults who are health conscious, the Bangalore-based startup enables customers to take control of their health by providing them with health scores, reports, goals as well as recommendations. It captures each customer's medical, lifestyle and family history, as well as his/her food habits to generate a health score. This can then be used by the customers to set health goals and track the impact the changes in life style have on their health. The captured data provide a comprehensive view of the patient's health and habits.
Rouse is a highly customisable plug-and-play loyalty engine that its clients can use to strengthen their user engagement. Using the engine, companies can incentivise users to perform various actions such as purchasing products, spreading the word around, and creating and consuming content (like uploading pictures/videos, etc.), based on a pointing programme. These points can later be redeemed for rewards. Moreover, clients can modify the programme anytime using a client panel.

DeltaX, the company's flagship, enables advertisers in buying, tracking and optimising media across search, social media, mobile and video. The platform supports any currency or time zone and is available in over 10 languages.
The Bangalore-based startup is targeting companies that have a social presence (almost all of them) with their flagship BoxMyTalk, a social mail box which automatically filters, analyses and tags 'mentions' in the social media space (in real time) and converts them into various business functions like query, customer service, support, complaints, etc. These categories and tags can also be grouped into boxes, like community box (all conversation threads which answer user queries); company box (relevant mentions about company or its competition); ticket box (complaints, customer service and support social mentions); and CRM Box (leads on prospective customers and their social profiles).
