The company was started as a start-up by Apurv Anand and Rohit Pandey in the year 2015.

“SigTuple is what it is today because all of us aspired to make a huge social impact,” Anand added.

Google announced that the first Demo Day Asia would be held six months ago and started searching for the best startup companies across the region.

But after the search, only 10 outstanding founders were chosen as finalists out of hundreds of applications from entrepreneurs across Asia-Pacific.

The technology giant – Google took them to Shanghai this week to help enhance their presentations about their businesses.

“Then, we put them on stage before our Demo Day judges and an audience of top international investors, and watched them wow the crowd with their incredible products,” Michael Kim, Partnerships Manager, Google for Entrepreneurs, wrote in a blog post.

Along with that, the audience in Shanghai was given an opportunity to vote for their favorite startup.

A digital healthcare platform, Marham, from Pakistan got the award of “Audience Choice”.

“We came to Shanghai to connect the region’s startups with top investors. We left amazed by the world-class quality of its entrepreneurs,” Kim said.

“These founders are proof that the startup ecosystem is truly alive and thriving in Asia-Pacific, and we’re more motivated than ever before to support more startups here to realize their incredible visions and solve big problems,” Kim added.
