India’s richest person, Mukesh Ambani, hosted some Israeli start-up companies at a conference in India recently. The event was organised by the Ambani-owned Indian company Reliance Industries.

According to Globes, a number of representatives of Israeli start-ups and technology companies visited India to present their technological capabilities.

Heading the list of companies was SimilarWeb, which has developed a traffic monitoring and analysis tool for websites and applications. The company, which has raised US$40 million to date, was represented by cofounder and CEO Or Offer.

Other Israeli companies making presentations included Celltick, a provider of medical services for mobile platforms, which has raised US$42 million to date, and Israeli start-up Winapp, which has developed technology linking the print world with the digital world.

Other participants included large Israeli technology companies that are apparently looking for co-operation rather than investments. One is Perion Network Ltd, which markets software and applications, and another is Outbrain Inc., which has developed an engine for recommending content for websites.
