A look at the 5 startups showcased at Techcircle Big Data Forum 2014

Big Data is yet to make its mark in India. Barring two or three established players like Mu Sigma, no Indian company has made an impact with its Big Data products on a global level. However, of late a number of startups have been emerging in this space, who are pinning their hopes on the terabytes of data being generated every day.
