Customers can reach big brands such as Daikin, Hitachi, Voltas and many more using OneDios.

With OneDios, a customer can register a service/complaint for any brand for any product in less than 60 Seconds and get on-demand status updates.

6. ZentrumHub – A Travel Tech Startup

The Pandemic gave a big blow to travel industry and made it stagnant due to the bans on travel. 

 Determined to build a travel platform, the founders took this as an opportunity to connect with industry veterans and travel businesses that were standing still and gather feedback from them. They saw a common theme where there was a lack of infra/tech to manage business operations and complexities of travel with businesses.

 This is when the trio decided to use AI and NLP to solve these problems and came up with idea of ZentrumHub. ZentrumHub was founded with a vision of being the smartest and fastest travel API platform. 

 Today, after a year of foundation and after travel reached pre-COVID-19 levels, ZentrumHub has grown to become a pure-play SaaS platform, with services including an AI-driven booking engine, white label UI, back-office management, and real-time data analytics for travel and hospitality clients.
