granular control on users, data, security and access. All messages are sent cocooned in enterprise-level encryption, and users can even move their conversations to an ephemeral “off-the-record” mode that has messages disappear after a short period of time. The company contacts and personal contacts stay in separate secured tabs. When an employee or user is terminated, it is easy for the company to ensure no longer they are in the official communication channel and also wipe off all the previously shared documents with the user. Avaamo has a huge potential for the companies to engage in particular with the mobile-first workforce whose only usual connectivity will be through the smartphones. In markets like India where the network connectivity can be erratic, there is an auto-send/offline mode where you can fire-and-forget even if there is no connection. Whenever the connection is established, the app fires the message automatically. For the quirky side, Avaamo also comes with emojis to bring a dash of fun and flavour to lighten up the corporate moods. With a vast mobile-first workforce in India, it is not surprising that Avaamo has ambitious plans for India and considers it a primary market. According to the company, it has 19 paid customers already enlisted, of which 10 are Indian firms including a leading real-estate company. Avaamo also says that there are over 1000 companies in India who have evinced interest. “India’s evolving mobile first workforce need a secure private communications platform that is instant and delivers on company requirements of security, governance and administration. Avaamo’s mission is to deliver a messaging platform that improves the productivity of today’s mobile workforce and at the same time addresses unique needs of Indian enterprises and Indian Mobile market conditions.” says Ram Menon, Founder and CEO of Avaamo. It’s easy and exciting day for the start-up who raised around $6.3 million in seed funding in 2014. We will keep them in our radar and up date you in future. ]]>
