ET Startup Awards (ETSA) have stood out amid a crowded ecosystem and have gone on to become successful businesses. We look at a few of them from previous editions of the awards.
Atomberg Technologies – Best on Campus (2019)
In March this year, digitally native consumer appliances brand Atomberg Technologies crossed Rs 100 crore in monthly revenue. Shortly after that, in May, the Mumbai-based company, which sells environmentally friendly ceiling fans, raised $86 million in a funding round led by Temasek and Steadview Capital. Founded by IIT Bombay alumni Manoj Meena and Sibabrata Das, Atomberg is planning on expanding into new categories such as mixer grinders and smart locks by early next year.
Tredence – Bootstrap Champ (2018)
While bootstrapped at the time, the Bengaluru and San Francisco Bay Area-based global analytics services and solutions provider has raised a total of $205 million, including $175 million it raised from Boston-based private equity firm Advent in December 2022. The funding round valued Tredence at $500 million. When it won the Bootstrap Champ award, Tredence had 350 employees, and has since expanded its team to over 1,800 people and has offices in San Jose, Chicago, London, Toronto and Bengaluru.
