Startups based on out-of-the-box ideas showcased their offering at the Headstart Summer Event

If you want to make some judicious stock picks, log on to Monevidya, an online stock picking community for Indian traders, investors and stock market enthusiasts.

Or if you are a sports enthusiast and want to use your skills to trade stocks, you may log on to SPOXCHANGE , an entertainment portal. These were among the exciting startups that showcased their offerings at Headstart Summer 2009. The event was held on June 20 in Mumbai.

Swan Suits — branded boutique service apartments, VeriCAR — used car inspection and verification company, Zopte — a one click website provider, Hellointern – an IIT Bombay student run internship portal and Informate – a unique mobile user behavior tracking system were others that were part of the event.

SPOXCHANGE is “born out of the need for change in the online sports entertainment.” The firm states that “watching live scores and reading dumb commentary is a thing of past. No more will you be a selector at the start of a tournament and form a team of players with you being a mute spectator depending on their performance.”

Informate was set up keeping in mind the way mobility has redefined the consumer world. “The mobile consumer is always connected, always on the go. Hence, in order to stay ahead of the dynamic and rapidly transforming mobile market, organizations today require an equally dynamic and real-time understanding of the mobile user,” says the startup’s website.

The guidance for entrepreneurs came from not less than well-known angel investors and venture capitalists such as Vishal Gondal (founder IndiaGames), Harsh Roongta (CEO and Founder, Apnapaisa), Gopala Krishnan (Founder, Mobile2Win), Freeman Murray (Founder, Kendara Inc), Sasha Mirchandani (MD, Blue Run Ventures India), Alok Mittal (Canaan Partners), Krishna Mony (Sequel Ventures), Indus Khaitan (Partner, Morpheus Venture Partners), Pradeep Tagare (Director, Intel Captital), Gaurav Saraf (Director, Epiphany Ventures) and Pravin Gandhi, (Founder/Partner Hinditron, Seedfund, Infinity Ventures).
