Problem # 10 : Market Creation for Niche Brands

Large cosmetic brands such as MAC etc are trying to enter India. As of now, there is not enough density of target audience to justify making an entry into India. If there was a way they could identify pockets of audiences that are their users, it would make the entry phenomenally easier.

Problem #9: Show me the Future

Plenty of constructions - apartments, highways etc. Most of the time, the quibble is because as citizens we cannot see how things will look when it will be complete. We also see enough construction complexes around the neighbourhood, but people are often curious how the building would look when complete. Activate a augmented reality app which based on trackers can show you virtually what the place would look like on completion?

Problem #8 Metrics for Growth Hackers

Growth hacking is the new term in the Startup world. Yet most people dont have anything beyond Google analytics on their site, and the google analytics is measuring no more than hits - page views and visits, and in some cases pretty looking demographics info. Can a mix of Google analytics and Mixpanel / Kiss metrics allow for outsourced Growth numbers, like SEOMoz did for SEO?

Problem #7: Pay as you go Audio Conference Bridges

I am a startup. Once a while, we do require conference bridges that I'd like to share with clients or stakeholders to do meets - instead of asking the other party to host each time (gets awkward). Free services like SabseBolo have horrible audio quality and sending a sabsebolo number is an euphemism for being cheap, at this point (might as well to pick up the client in an Auto).

On the other hand, there is no way to get a conference bridge, without paying for a month, and the services are rather expensive. There is no way to sign up for a service without going through the process of a business service sale - of getting a quote, and issuing a purchase order, when like AWS the service can be paid for, and setup  on the fly, it would be a dream.

Problem #6: Fundraising for Social Causes

Develop a social platform that effectively allows fund raising for social causes. Effective is the key here. Can we gamify the process so social do gooders are duly recognized and can they use the credit they earn from doing good to utilise elsewhere?
