Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, October 24, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- WATConsult truly India's leading social media agency has announced today that they have bagged the 2011 Red Herring's Top 100 Asia Award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from the Asian business region.

Their work and management has given them the opportunity to be selected in this international honor and has thus, successfully placed themselves in the global market. Rajiv Dingra, CEO & Founder is a 26-year young entrepreneur leading an agency of young enthusiasts with an average age of 23-years.

Mr. Dingra on this occasion shared, "Red Herring is like an Oscar in the Technology Industry therefore I am not just excited but I take it as a big responsibility to be consistent in doing well and getting better. It is an honor because they select us on the basis of financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into our respective industries."

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds across Asia. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria wherein finalists for the award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.

"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and Chairman of Red Herring. "The global economic situation has abated and there are many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. WATMedia shows great promise therefore deserves to be the winner. We know that the 2011 crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to make an impact."

WATConsult earlier this year was also awarded at the Indian Digital Media awards for the Best Viral Marketing Campaign for Virgin Mobile. WATConsult handles over 30 blue chip clients and their social media campaigns. Most of WATConsult's clients have now been working with them since over a year.
