In India, the business world has been booming for the past few years. In this area, India in particular has excelled to the point that a number of entrepreneurs have found success on the international stage. Many of these firms have greatly increased the scope of their services.
Going international used to be a road taken by fairly established firms. Today, however, international markets are accessible sooner in a company’s lifecycle because of web-based connectivity to worldwide markets. Younger and younger businesses are focusing on the US and other markets, either to gain access to a large and expensive market or to attract top personnel.
Here is a list of the top 5 Indian startups that went international:
1. WiJungle
