PUNE: Thousands of technology start-ups worldwide participate in the annual TiE50 contest every year and only 50 as the name suggests, get selected. TiE50 is TiE Silicon Valley’s premier annual awards program. After Ahhamune from Pune who won the first runner-up prize at the TiE Global Women’s contest, two more from Pune city join the rank of worldwide recognition – DeepTek an AI-powered solution that helps radiologists and GigIndia that empowers businesses to scale effectively with its armory of 1 million gig workers across 500 cities in India. Both were selected amongst the 50 winners globally, at the virtual awards conference held on May 8th.
Says an elated Ajit Patil co-founder, DeepTek, “TiE50 is a prestigious global award and we are extremely happy to see our efforts being recognized. Our AI-powered solution helps to improve the productivity of radiologists by three to five times. It automates pathology prediction and localization. It also creates structured clinical reports automatically, a process that is otherwise very time-consuming. It also helps reduce the radiologist’s stress and fatigue. In fact, given the Covid pressure on radiologists, we are now processing over 2000 CT scans a day through our AI-powered platform!”.
“Not only is this award a recognition of our team’s efforts to fight Covid but also a recognition of the innovation that technology brings to help people in such times. This award will help us gain visibility in the global markets. Our current customers are based in India and the APAC. We plan to reach out to the western markets too and TiE 50 will help us in this.”, he adds.
The other start-up to get into the prestigious 50 is GigIndia based out of Pune. GigIndia helps gig workers find work. Says Aditya Shirole, co-founder, “Our association with TiE has been extremely rewarding. First with TiE Nurture Pune in 2017 where we got access to the best mentors possible, then with their support again in 2018 we raised our angel round of funding and now to be awarded the TiE50. The entire credit goes to our team, our customers, and the giggers who have always motivated us to do better. In fact, now we have now grown to One Million plus registered giggers on our platform. This award will give us the credibility we need to expand globally. We would like to dedicate this award to all the frontline workers fighting the Covid war in India.”
