YuppTV enters Red Herring’s top 100 company list

MUMBAI: YuppTV, an OTT platform, has entered the reputed Red Herring’s list of top 100 global awards. The awards identify and honour the leading private companies from North America, Europe and Asia.

Red Herring’s list is a mark of distinction for promising new companies and entrepreneurs.

Red Herring CEO and publisher Alex Vieux said, “Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat. After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across the globe to the top 100 winners. We believe YuppTV embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. YuppTV should be proud of its accomplishment.”

Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track records and standing of start-ups relative to their peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models from around the world.

Speaking about the new accomplishment, YuppTV CEO and founder Uday Reddy added, “When we were recognized as one of the top 100 North American companies earlier this year, we were absolutely thrilled with the distinction especially given that there were so many great companies. However, to have been selected as one of the top 100 global companies really confirms our belief that we have a service that our customers love and that so many new customers around the world will want.”

YuppTV Prays For Paris Victims

YuppTV conveys support and expresses its condolences to victims and family members of those affected by the Paris attacks. We strongly condemn the activities of terror groups such as ISIS. We believe that the objectives of such heinous terror groups will never prevail over those of France and all other peace loving countries which have pledged their support in fighting such terror groups.

Terrorism is an inherent cowardly activity whose main objective is to instill fear and anger among the citizenry. We know France, just like many other peace loving countries, will never give in into the objectives of such terror groups. Instead, the country through its citizenry will continue to exercise its value of a democratic society that promotes freedom of expression and equal opportunities for all its citizens. 

Being one of the countries which strongly values its democratic ideals, India is one of the countries that plays a pivotal role in fighting global terrorism whose main mandate is to undermine the democratic milestones that have been achieved by France and other such established democracies. 
We express our unequivocal support the peace for Paris initiative which is indeed an effective initiative meant to unite the country and other like-minded countries and individuals in condemning the attacks that took place in the city of Paris.

This initiative will indeed go a long way in highlighting the need for countries to unite and join forces in defeating these terror groups. This initiative will also play a significant role in celebrating peace and democracy not just in France but all over the world, since it is such peace and democratic ideals that constitute the cornerstone of any successful society.
