Businesses that caught our eye in Asia


India’s SmartyRing is a neat bit of wearable tech in the form of a ring. It displays all your phone’s notifications so that you don’t have to keep pulling out your phone to check what’s going on. It is proving to be very popular on Indiegogo, where the gadget has secured so many crowdfunding pledges that it is well beyond its goal.

Ayibang – which literally means “maid help” in Chinese – is a mobile app and online platform that connects people with local service providers, allowing you to mix and match temporary employees for things like regular cleaning, a heavy-duty cleaning of a new or rented apartment, and laundry. The startup revealed this week it has secured series A funding.
