Kirusa honored amongst top 25 emerging technology companies by Smart Techie Magazine

Tuesday, May 27, 2008; New Providence, New Jersey; The Smart Techie magazine, a leading publication for experienced technology professionals, has named Kirusa, world’s leading vendor of Voice SMS and a leading developer of value added mobile services, as one of the top 25 emerging technology companies in India. The listing identifies the companies that will lead the next wave of disruptive technology and cutting-edge innovation across the globe.

The Smart Techie is India's leading technology magazine based out of Bangalore and reaches out to 96,000 experienced technology professionals across India. The magazine captures insights from experiences of senior technology professionals and experts from across the globe.

Kirusa has introduced a new messaging paradigm to the world, providing asynchronous communication with voice. The technology, called Voice SMS, allows people to send SMS messages by speaking. A user dials * followed by the number of the recipient’s number, and speaks a short message of up to 30 seconds. The recipient gets an SMS message from the sender, and can directly dial a number in the message to access the spoken message. After listening to the message, the recipient can reply by voice, or by text, or can forward the message.

Voice SMS brings the power of mobile communication to a larger class of mobile users and contexts, allowing users to send messages with voice, without the need for typing. Users can communicate faster, more easily, with emotion, compared to sending text messages. It is less expensive than the cost of a phone call, and messages can be sent without disturbing the user.

Taranjit Singh Batra, VP Sales of Kirusa, said, “We thank the smart techie magazine for recognizing Kirusa amongst the top 25 emerging technology companies. Kirusa thrives on innovation. We invented Voice SMS with a vision to change the paradigms of mobile messaging across the world. Multimodality is another Kirusa offering which will strongly define the important role of technology in global economy and will lead the next wave of disruptive technology and cutting-edge innovation across the globe.”
