A Singapore-based Indian-owned company has been shortlisted for an international enterprise start-up award.

Crayon Data, which was started at the end of 2012, is among the 50 start-ups shortlisted for Code_n Innovation Awards by CeBIT, the organisers of the international conference and fair on IT-related businesses.

“I am really glad that we made the shortlist of this contest,” said Suresh Shankar, co-Founder of Crayon Data.

“The competition is tough. We are among the 50 start-ups shortlisted out of 450 entries from 60 countries.”

“We also feel that being the only grown-in-Asia company to make the shortlist is encouraging. It shows us that we can do great things from Asia,” he said.

Crayon Data is building a big data platform, Simplerchoices, out of Singapore and Chennai for the world with simpler choices.

The finalists would showcase their ground-breaking and outstanding business ideas to investors, the international press, and more than 280,000 visitors at CeBIT 2014 in the Deutsche Messe exhibition centre in Hanover during March 10-14, 2014.

Crayon Data would present its Taste Graph, which helps consumers and business to make smarter decisions by simplifying big data and providing relevant and personalised sets of choices.
