One of the special attractions for this year’s Product Conclave 2010 has been the EMERGE Product Showcase. For the second time, NASSCOM EMERGE Forum & CAI invited applications from Product companies and rated them on various parameters based on

1. Impact of the transformation on the customer
2. Applicability of the transformation on other companies
3. Uniqueness of the solution that enabled it to have transformative impact. (In other words, the unique technology that powered this innovation).

This has been an attempt to seek out the sort of applications that are likely to define the market in future.

Our jury panel had quite a task at hand, as some of the participants were indeed very close and unarguably, good enough to make the cut. A big THANK YOU to the jury panel and all participants for supporting this event. Without their support, this would just not have been possible.
