Mobile Start-Up: Mango Technologies
22:06 | 
Sunil Maheshwari and Lekh Joshi are co-founders of Mango Technologies, a Bangalore- based mobile start-up. Both are first-time entrepreneurs who have 20 years of experience between them working for various mobile companies in India.
Sunil and Lekh are bullish about the growth opportunities for mobile companies in India, and believe that the biggest growth will be in the low-cost handset area. They have built a lightweight, modular application framework (they call it MangoMMI) that reduces engineering effort and time spent on development and integration. The way they explain it, engineers will not be required to created new flavors of phones — instead UI folks can use their application framework and quickly design new flavors of phones.
Their application for low-cost mobile phones is currently in beta, being tested by a couple of OEMs and mobile companies. They expect to have the application deployed by one of the telecom companies by the end of the year.
Sunil and Lekh are boot-strapping the company, which they founded in 2006. Operating in India, Suni points out one additional challenge for start-ups: the lack of access to true angel or seed funding.

Looks cool! I’m curious what would be the major competing frameworks for “cross-platform” mobile development?
Do you have any plans to release a demo - for mobile application developers to play with?
Good luck!

Great to see the success by sunil, based on his career track so far i can say that he would again come out as true winner as he has always been. I wish him and his team a great success and many such innovative ideas and products so that industry in general and public as whole get the benefit out of these inventions.
thx

Hey Lekh,
Saw you couple of times at office but couldn’t catch-up. Was looking at Mango web-site for something else and it was a pleasant surprise to see that you are the CTO & Co-founder.
Wow! Congrats. Great job and keep up the good spirits.
