Red Herring's Top 100 list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs.

"After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Asia to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Snapdeal.com embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Snapdeal.com should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
