What are the famous startups in India?

A data analytics startup by Ritesh, Malvika and Vinay Bawri is a one of its kind with the largest consumer file in Asia built into the platform.

5. GRoboMac:

This feat has not been achieved even by tech majors like Google.

Technology and
big data are breaking new frontiers for businesses but are also putting sensitive user data at risk. This became an issue when Uber and Zomato’s data was breached in 2017.
