the founder - ceo of the business , tejas sangoi , says it is their goal to reach 1 , 00 , 000 users in indian alone . he claims , with such an audience size smilingstart can raise close to rs 5 crore for its partner charities each year .
smilingstart has partnered with three prominent charities – the akshaya patra foundation , k . c mahindra education trust and pratham . as we write this , 150 + people have already signed up enabling 353 mid day meals for school kids , 190 days of education for under privileged girls and 252 days of shelter for street kids .
smilingstart is a self funded startup venture of thalia technologies pvt ltd which is a profit driven organization with an intense social objective . tejas argues that – “the profit motive encourages efficiency and innovation and the social motive brings satisfaction of contributing to the society . we strive to maximize every cent of investment and minimize expenses incurred in creating and delivering value” . the project is funded by his personal savings and family funds .
the wallpapers are sponsored by various brands which pays money to have its wallpaper displayed on the user homepage . once user get started supporting smilingstart . com , the user than need to select one charity program , then after every new wallpaper which says something about any brand will be displayed on daily basis , the brands will than be charged for each day . 75 % of the revenue is then donated to the charity selected by the users .
“educate a man , you educate one person , educate a woman , you educate a complete family . ”
reports estimate that more than 50 percent of girls in india fail to enroll in school and those who do are likely to drop out by the age of 12 .
as in a series of other aspects , the girl child is also discriminated against extensively in the right to education , even basic at times .
lack of education denies the girl child , the knowledge and skills needed to advance their status . education enables the child to realize her full potential , to think , question and judge independently ; to be a wise decision - maker , develop civic sense and learn to respect , love his fellow human beings and to be a good citizen .
figures also report that there is discrimination even in the field of higher education . at least a 40 % of girls are not allowed to pursue higher studies , due to the conservative familial ideologies .
in 1994 , the government of india passed a universal female education bill that offers parents incentives for access and punishment for keeping a girl out of school .
in another important initiative , the government also announced free and reduced cost education for girls . the program has been designed with the aim to offer free education at high school level to all girls of single child families .
the offer also includes provisions for fellowships of us $ 45 per month for those undertaking post - graduate studies .

vardaan : founding editor at indianweb2 , he ' s been writing at indianweb2 since 2007 . apart from blogging he had a professional career of software developer , ux developer and search engine marketer in past . his vision of indianweb2 has been laid down so as to showcase , encourage and propagate indian startups , innovation and entrepreneurship ideas .
this is a b2c idea , and it takes a lot of marketing / publicity to get good traction in the b2c space .
revenues are from advertising , and it is very difficult to make money from advertising in india . and the user numbers have to be huge before you start making good money .
what you have going for you is the whole 75 % goes to charity angle . that will make it easier to convince people to install and use your screen , as well as to promote / evangelize it . but it ' s still going to be tough , because you ' re competing with pinterest , instagram and even facebook .
figure out some way of segmenting your audience by demographics and interests . maybe you can have channels ( photos of nature , sports , celebrities , news ) that people can subscribe to .
see if people are interested in more than simple pretty photos . a ' thought for the day ' channel . this can broaden the appeal and at the same time allow you to target the ads properly .
create
share this photo with my friends
functionality . ( you want to go viral , right ? ) create incentives in the system to share ( i . e . by default , 75 % of the revenue from you goes to the charities you pick , but if you ' re sharing at the
bronze
level this month , then it is 80 % , and if your sharing is at the
silver
level then 85 % etc . the actual numbers don ' t matter so much - just the they should know that more sharing means that the number increases . )
how about a facebook strategy ? a facebook page with a new image everyday , and incentives for sharing . . .

elemental technologies — which develops software - defined video systems for multiscreen and ultra hd streaming — has raised $ 14 . 5 million in its fourth round of funding , led by australian telco telstra and europe - based sky .
portland , oregon - based elemental technologies announced today that it has closed a series b financing round of $ 7 . 5 million , with steamboat ventures joining general catalyst and voyager capital , existing venture backers of the company .
portland , ore . — october 16 , 2006 — elemental technologies inc . today announced that pixelworks , inc . ( nasdaq : pxlw ) , a leading provider of system - on - chip ics for the advanced display industry , has agreed to provide seed funding for the company . elemental technologies ( eti ) is a start - up semiconductor design company founded by three engineers , including mike west , a pixelworks co - founder . elemental is focused on creating a revolutionary network - aware distributed display processing architecture .
elemental technologies represents a potential for rebirth in oregon ' s electronic display industry , once its most robust homegrown technology . but foreign competition and failed product launches , among other troubles , have all but driven the sector from oregon .

elemental technologies , makers of the badaboom gpu - based encoding application , released today its elemental server , an enterprise - grade encoding platform . the company said the gpu architecture delivers speed and energy usage improvements over cpu - based encoding servers , thereby saving cash and decreasing processing time for multi - format video .
develops technologies for video encoding , compression and streaming to enable content providers such as comcast , disney and hbo to offer instantaneous video content on tvs , computers and mobile devices .
elemental technologies has made its name providing compression and transcoding for live and on - demand multiscreen / ott services that are typically delivered using adaptive bit rates ( abr ) . the introduction of statistical multiplexing opens the way for customers to migrate to elemental technologies compression for their linear broadcast services if they want to . it also confirms a trend among vendors to support multiscreen and broadcast operations from a unified headend or backoffice . in this case , it could result in unified linear video delivery infrastructure .
when a customer has an extensive workflow , utilizing many different elemental products or many nodes is where elemental conductor can be a huge asset .
elemental technologies will be demonstrating its new compression plus statistical multiplexing capabilities at nab 2015 , marking the point at which the company starts to compete for the headend market in general rather than just the multiscreen and ott headend ( with a few exceptions ) .
elemental technologies’ badaboom is a video transcoding program that converts video files into other formats . the conversion process can be up to 18 times faster when done on a geforce gpu , getting the job done in a few minutes instead of a few hours .
