Internet of Things<\/strong> in India is becoming quite trendy, as a lot of the conversations happening at Bangalore\u2019s top tech event Nasscom Product Conclave<\/a> showed.<\/p>\n

Make in India vs. Innovate with China: two economic policies for Asia\u2019s giants<\/h2>\n

This trend also benefits from a broader support from the government<\/strong>. Back in September, India\u2019s new Prime Minister Modi inaugurated an international marketing campaign branded Make in India<\/a><\/strong>, to attract investment and make of his country a hub for manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\"make<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s good reason for that: with 1.5 billion population expected by 2030<\/strong>, India must create about 1 million new job per month<\/strong> (The Economist<\/a>). The general opinion on the country is that it lost a decade by postponing key reforms. As a result, India is still ranked 142th for the ease of doing business<\/a><\/strong> there.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, or ironically enough, while in Shenzhen this year, we saw how China\u2019s \u201cmaker city\u201d rebranded itself \u201cInnovative with China\u201d<\/a>. The move showed how China was transitioning from a low-cost, low-quality type of manufacturing to a fast-prototyping and quality hardware.<\/p>\n

Both mottos offer an interesting view of how the two giants of Asia (and the world) see themselves in near future<\/strong>. With 9.9% average growth between 2000 and 2010, China is no more home to cheap production. It\u2019s rather getting richer, and smarter. India is somehow plugging its own lagging here, and hopes to get parts of the jobs China can\u2019t afford anymore to make by moving upwards.<\/p>\n

Internet of Things startups met in Bangalore\u2019s top tech event<\/h2>\n

Without further ado, here are 5 promising startups who pitched on the stage of Bangalore\u2019s Product Conclave last week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CarIQ: smart driving<\/h3>\n

CarIQ<\/a> \u201cmakes cars smarter\u201d<\/strong> thanks to a device which records both traditional data from your car, such as mileage and speed, as well as driving patterns. A bit like Waze, it\u2019s also connected to a community of peers<\/strong> where you can compare your stats with friends, or with people in the same place, or with the same make and brand of car.<\/p>\n
