Nominations are pouring in for Techcircle FastTrack and the three-member jury panel comprising Rahul Khanna (from venture capital firm Canaan Partners), Hitesh Oberoi (MD & CEO of Info Edge India, owner of Naukri.com ) and Vijay Shekhar Sharma (CMD of the mobile Internet company One97 Communications) will pick the 20 hottest technology start-ups in India.

Together, the esteemed jury panel represents successful entrepreneurs and investors who have the pulse of the tech start-up community in India.

Techcircle Annual Party:

The listing of the hottest start-ups coincides with another big event as Techcircle.in, the news site covering technology and start-ups in India, is completing one year in February 2012. We are celebrating our first anniversary with Techcircle FastTrack 2012 — a listing of India’s top tech start-ups to watch out for in 2012 – which will be released at the Techcircle Annual Party, to be held on February 24 at the Terrace, India Habitat Centre (IHC), New Delhi.

This annual party, starting at 6.30 pm at IHC, New Delhi, will be a one-of-a-kind initiative for the start-up ecosystem to unwind and network with industry peers and professionals over cocktails and dinner.

The start-ups will be selected on the basis of market traction, unique product or service that is disrupting the existing business models and most importantly, the high potential to make it big in the coming years.

Techcircle.in has been fortunate to cover some of the brightest start-ups that came into being in the last couple of years. This is an attempt to unearth and commend some of these most promising start-ups in India. We will consider start-ups who have been in existence (or incorporated) since 2007. The selected 20 start-ups will be given a commendation certificate at the party, and they will be featured in Techcircle.in, thereafter.

How to enter the listing

We are inviting self nominations from companies or suggestions from our readers on start-ups we should consider for the list. Please fill in the online nomination form here: Online Nomination Form Link. Last date for nomination is February 16.
