Here is a list of top web apps in India from Read/write web.
Not very impressive compilation. Reproducing my comment on the post:
Somewhat surprising to see the real web apps of India missing. Look at top sites in India on Alexa.
India is still a very email, search, portal, jobs, matrimony country. Online financial services is another area which this article has missed… Digg clones, movie rentals, real estate, photo sharing might be “interesting” but hardly qualify to be in the list for “top web apps in india”
bollywood is another popular category (per alexa) that got missed here — indiafm, smashits, etc.
railway booking, irctc.com — 5 million transactions a year…

JPM — in my mind, the word in not daring, but ambitious. Heroic sacrifices and suicides is romantic, but venture success, imho, is about thinking big and managing risks at the same time.
Kaushal — you need to get a person to register and login to search — I think a bit of a leap in terms of behaviour; people simply dont expect to do that… May be should look at starting delivering value without logging in, and once the user likes you, offer signup to dramatically improve the experience?
I am one of the founders of CollCraft Technologies a company incubated at IIT Bombay. We have just launched our web application called Uhuroo (the name comes from the word “uhuru” which means freedom in swahili).
Uhuroo is a collaborative web research tool. The tool helps users in information collection, sharing and consolidation as part of various web-research initiatives.
Our goal is to enable people to Research and not re-search. It would be great if you could try out our tool (i.e. http://www.uhuroo.com) and give us some feedback.
Very true!
There are several that have been missed out!
Guruji.com (Sequoia Funded) Indian Local Search is one such. IT looks neat too though there seems to be no USP at first look.
Being an IITD alumnus myself, heres some related noise:
Guruji.com has been cofounded by IITD alumni. There seems to be something about the Delhi IIT in particular. Apparently, some 40% of all startups in India have IITD alumni as founding team members. Infact several VCs (Alok mittal, Sandeep Singhal…..) are from IITD as well! Kuch tho hai!! 🙂
I have a blog where I write on the Internet industry in India. I had compiled a list of top Internet companies in India. You can check them out at http://ileher.com/resources/
Very Much! Email, Jobs, Matrimony and a whole lot of masala from every-wood (bolly, tolly, molly…) Hope to see some DARING minds just hit gold by catering to the demographics in India… youth rule!
