- Tech30 startup Samaaro allows organisations to host virtual events with unlimited users. The Bengaluru-based platform has already recorded AMR of $15,000.
- This is where Samaaro steps in. Developed by Bengaluru-based Tacnik, Samaaro, launched in May this year, is a virtual event platform, which allows organisations and community managers to host engaging virtual events for effective networking. “Available platforms provide ineffective networking and abysmal engagement options that leave most organisers and attendees unsatisfied,” Skandha Gopalan, Co-founder, Director and CMO of Samaaro, tells YourStory.
- The name Samaaro has its origin in Sanskrit, which means ‘To get together’. “Since we were creating a platform and an ecosystem where people would communicate, engage, and network, we felt this was apt,” Skandha says. At present, Samaaro employs 18 people. It also hires freelancers and agencies whenever required.

- Drona Maps, which helps capture reliable, robust geospatial data to create large-scale 3D maps from imagery collected through drones, is part of YourStory's Tech30 list. The startup has been helping state governments take the battle to coronavirus by tracking COVID-19 hotspots.
- Gurugram-based Tech30 startup Drona Maps is tapping drones to help create 3Dvisual maps of cities and larger spaces. Founded in 2016 by Ayushi Mishra and Utkarsh Singh, Drona Maps helps capture reliable, robust geospatial data to create large-scale 3D maps from imagery collected through drones.
- The seeds of Drona Maps were laid when Utkarsh brought a drone back to India and deployed it during the 2016 Sawan Jhula mela in Ayodhya, which hosts nearly three million people during the festival. The local government was tasked with creating urban infrastructure to manage this huge influx, and Utkarsh – using his drone to create 3D maps – helped them create exit/entry routes and identify areas to be cordoned off.

- Even though EVs were just about beginning to buzz globally, their presence in India was almost absent. Zeuva soon realised that a large part of the EV problem was around batteries.
