Uiza is one of the 17 startups chosen to be a part of Sequoia Capital India?s Surge 01 cohort. In an exclusive interaction with YourStory Senior Editor Ramarko Sengupta, Co-founder Kevin Nguyen gives his take on the past, present, and future of Uiza, and reveals why India is such a huge opportunity.
- How and when did Uiza start?KN: By the time we started Uiza, around end 2017, video-based startups, from edtech and healthtech to ecommerce and many other services, were democratising access to products and services across emerging Asia.
- Our aim was that Uiza should play a key role in that process, by empowering more companies to stream video in an affordable way to new or untapped consumer segments and reach Asia's emerging mass markets.
- When we first started Uiza, the objective was to build an Online Video Platform, like a Content Management System (CMS) for video, and serve countries in Southeast Asia.
- However, after six months, things weren't really working for us as the market perhaps didn't need another Online Video Platform.
- a product I felt would make everything from operating systems to user guides more accessible to mass market consumers in emerging markets of Southeast Asia.
- Uiza's sophisticated video infrastructure currently serves viewers from over 100 countries.
