This week in Asian start-ups

Tech in Asia presents you with the hottest Asian start-ups making the news

Wifigen | Pakistan 

Wifigen sells itself to businesses, such as restaurants, cafes, and stores, as a way to offer wifi to customers while getting back a wealth of data on those visitors from their social media logins – such as demographics, preferences, and frequency of visit.

Eatigo | Thailand 

Eatigo allows people to make restaurant bookings and get discounts of as much as 50%. But unlike usual deals sites, the start-up sends discounted customers to restaurants during off-peak hours such as before or after the lunchtime or dinner rush.

HapPay | India

Bengaluru-based HapPay cuts down the paper trail and number of staff members required to handle employee expenses. Instead, the service consolidates them into a Visa card that allows the reimbursing company to remain more in control of their expenses than if it had used a card obtained through a bank.
 

Ruangguru | Indonesia 

Indonesian education tech start-up Ruangguru is an online platform connecting tutors to students. Lessons offered include school subjects, music, sports, foreign languages, and more. The start-up boasts high-quality tutors, picking them among top university students and experienced teachers.
 

Customer360 | India 

Mumbai-based Customer360 provides live chat and mobile in-app tools on the cloud for customer support. The start-up announced its acquisition yesterday by US-based Interactive Intelligence, a provider of cloud-based customer engagement software, for an undisclosed amount.


 

MockBank | India 

Bangalore-based MockBank helps users prepare for the tests for various government job positions, from stenographers to IT officers. Jobs in the public sector, banking, and insurance are also part of the roster.
