Mumbai, Oct,07, 2008: ManagementParadise.com, popularly known as MP : The Voice of Management Students, from the city has been nominated for the coveted TATA NEN Hottest Startups Awards.
The First ever ‘Public Choice’ awards to recognize India’s new wave of growth, the TATA NEN Hottest Startups is an online contest where people can nominate companies & vote for them both on internet & through SMS.
The Awards are a unique collaboration between the Tata Group, India’s most respected business conglomerate and National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), the largest representatives of new & future entrepreneurs in India. The Awards aim to showcase and recognize high potential young companies in India, with the goal to attract visibility for over 800 entrepreneurs & their ventures in India, and engage over 5,00,000 people.
Everything that touches management education is our kingdom. With this in mind we cater to BMS, BBI, BAF and MBA students to handhold them in their journey right from Bachelors in management to Masters in management.
We fill the gap between education that an IIM student would recieve and a St Francis MBA through research dissemination.
With over 70 thousand members, MP (Management Paradise) is doing revolutionizing management education.
"Its an honor to be nominated for the coveted award" Said Kartik Raichura, CEO / Founder expressing delight in being nominated and the need for such an initiative in India.
The TATA NEN Hottest Startups Awards are designed to engage the public in the selection process. People can nominate and check out the nominations online. Voting can be done online or via sms.

People can also enter Lucky Draws to win Hottest Stuff! More information and company profile at TATA NEN Hottest Startups Awards - Management Paradise - Kartik Raichura - Mumbai Startups
The structure of the competition ensures both engagement and credibility. After the first round a shortlist of 30 companies will be selected based on the most number of public votes, combined with the highest expert ratings. Finally top 5 winners will be chosen from these 30 companies. The expert judges will be a pool of over 100 people including investors, entrepreneurs, academicians, professionals and representatives across industries.
There are three requirements for participating startups. The company must be: 5 or fewer years old; headquartered in India; and a stand-alone – not a subsidiary or division of a larger company. In addition, the company should be highly innovative, growing rapidly, and have the potential of changing their industry.
Winners of TATA NEN Hottest Startups will receive a potent combination of publicity and business support, designed to spur their growth to the next level.
Prizes in the TATA NEN Startup Awards include

  • Admission to Microsoft’s StartUp Accelerator Program for at least one winner
  • All Shortlisted startups will get admission to TiE Mumbai’s nurturing program

The Awards has the outcome of directly helping the 30 shortlisted companies, and providing even greater support and visibility to the Top 5 Winners.
The 2008 Tata-NEN Startups Awards will showcase a wide range of high potential startups from multiple sectors, ranging from healthcare, retail, mobile technologies, biotech, hospitality, lifestyle, IT and service providers.
Lending support in the cause are Helion Ventures, Seedfund and Wadhwani Foundation.
