UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION AUTHORITY:  For amassing a trove of biometric identification to activate benefits for millions of Indians The government office is using multimodal biometrics--fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs--to build the world's most ambitious identity database. A mammoth ecosystem of agencies deploys its open, scalable model, and the robust system can enroll the identities of a million people a day with 99.99% accuracy. It authenticates people over a mobile phone network using a one-time password or their fingerprints (in spite of illiteracy being a problem). In the process, it enables instant, paperless provisioning of banking services and welfare benefits to millions of Indians who lacked any identification until now. At last count, 450 million Indians had received their new IDs and used them to make 40 million cash transfers

• ZIPDIAL : For dialing into the very Indian "missed call" money-saving tactic Figure 13.2 ZipDial's marketing and analytics platform is fashioned out of the ingenious practice of escaping a charge by calling and hanging up to convey a predecided message. Its unique business model works by providing a number for brands to publish on their marketing campaigns. Here is how it works - ZipDial gives brands a toll-free number that they can publicize for consumers to dial into. On the consumer dialing the toll-free number, the call rings once and disconnects and then the consumer receives an SMS with more information on the marketing campaign. So far, ZipDial has targeted 416 million callers for clients like Disney, Dove, and CocaCola, which can now text customers about new deals and product launches. India's largest political parties, the Congress and the BJP, have recently signed up, which means ZipDial is now headed for the mainstream. The service just launched in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and will soon be in Indonesia and the Philippines. 251 Top Innovative companies

Innoz was launched by a group of engineering college dropouts who came upon the idea when they were not able to search for "How to woo girls" on their very basic phones.

• GOONJ : For galvanizing a behavior shift in urban India to care for those in need. Goonj channels excess resources from urban households to impoverished, rural, and disaster-struck areas. In exchange for clothes, furniture, household goods, and medical supplies, village and slum communities self-organize and build schools, roads, and toilet facilities. The company has thus turned used clothes and other second-hand material into currency, successfully leading more than 1,500 such projects in the past three years alone. It recently delivered thousands of tons of material to the floodstruck in the Himalayas, to cyclone victims in eastern Orissa, and to victims of communal violence in central Muzaffarnagar, through a network of schools and nonprofits. In a large country, Goonj is a game-changer, teaching urban Indians when, what, and how to give. 252 Top Innovative companies

Four hundred of them have been installed across the country so far, with a reported 6,000 in the pipeline.

Founded by Harvard and MIT researchers, Mitra Biotech's CANScript technology re-creates an artificial environment for a patient's tumor sample and tests various drugs on it directly, allowing the company to arrive at a personalized treatment in less than a week.
