Business daily Mint, a part of the HT Media group, has come out with a list of the 10 “most interesting start-ups” to watch for in 2008. The list includes, Tyroo Media (online ad network), iXiGO.com (travel meta search) and DimDim (online Web conferencing). Sloka Telecom, Ziva Software, Novatium Solutions, MobME Wireless Solutions, Anantara Solutions, Mango Technologies and Zoho are the other companies selected in the list of the 10 ‘most interesting start-ups’.

According to Mint, the selected companies stood out from the rest in terms of the products or services offered, founder experience and credentials, differentiated business models and potential market opportunity. “We put them forward not just as interesting companies to watch for but also as representatives of the infectious and powerful wave of entrepreneurship that is now sweeping the country,” Mint writes.
