About Us

Organization Profile:

VMukti is an open-source, cloud-based HD video communication platform, conceptualized in September 2005, with proof-of-concept launch in April 2006. VMukti is an emerging product-related software company targeting the US$50 billion video communications industry, with the potential to save clients 80% on bandwidth and storage infrastructure via state-of-the-art client and server-less, broadband-ready platform features. VMukti received seed funding from CIIE at IIM Ahmedabad (India) and boasts a development team spread across seven countries, representing the best expertise in their respective fields.  Two of VMukti’s existing pilots are with Fortune 500 companies.  VMukti offers three primary product verticals: streaming, conferencing, and IP-PBX.

Product(s) Description:

VMukti has designed a video communications cloud-based platform that enables the convergence of voice, video and content over IP (VVoIP application platform) through a distributed peer-to-peer (P2P) platform that supports the construction of a number of video and voice features (or to support pre-built features) in areas of Web conferencing, call-center operation, and distance education, among others.  The company is focused on video communications, offering a combined hardware/software solution under the software-only or SAAS (software as a service) model.  The primary platform is designed for Web, desktop and embedded applications and includes software for P2P computing, telephony, and VVoIP for encoding, compression, and live streaming.  There is also a hardware factor that combines a camera, phone and UMPC (ultra-mobile personal computer).

This platform functions similarly to the Windows “cloud computing” concept.  Subscribers receive several built-in applications, and additional services can be added and consumed using APIs (application programming interfaces). Because of its P2P distributed video platform design, the VMukti product line can save users 80% in bandwidth. For example, assume 1000 online users viewing a video presentation that requires 400kbps.  That would mean requiring 400mbps bandwidth on the server. However, the VMukti system would require only 10mbps.  The savings is a result of the unique P2P design, where each viewer’s PC (or similar device) acts as a “supernode” to render the audio/video stream to other viewers. As new participants log onto the video conference, the server forwards that person to an existing supernode, and the process repeats itself as often as necessary.  The product works economically; as the number of participants increase, the system actually works better and is not at risk of crashing.

The company has three vertical product features, as follows:

1.   Streaming feature is a widely distributed streaming HD video content solution and similar in appearance to YouTube, except that it has the capability of providing coverage of live events (as well as prerecorded ones) with the added feature of full two-way audio and video communication.  The system is 100% browser-based (resulting in low bandwidth and infrastructure costs) with no proprietary licensing fees, plus the ability to support multiple on-demand sessions.  There is also an integrated chat feature and videos can be shared, archived, and replayed at a later time.  It is the ideal training platform for the masses.

2.   Conferencing feature offers P2P HD video conferencing with a large number of add-on features, including an integrated scheduler, live text chat, desktop sharing, and co-authoring of presentations through a whiteboard process or other mediums.  The product is VoIP and video-enabled and accommodates third-party module support.  There are no telephone charges except for applicable data rates.

3.   Predictive Dialer feature is a broadband-ready, server-less PBX and call center solution, provided as the world’s first Web-based peer-to-peer call-center software.  It has the ability to seamlessly integrate with MeetingPlace and provides access through the use of desktop, handheld, or smart-phone devices.  BizCom includes a dynamic scripting and CRM (customer relations management) studio with a live dashboard that allows application sharing and the complete recording of all sessions for quality control purposes.

VMukti platform features are available to end-users as a subscription service on desktop, Web, and VMukti devices.  These devices include video VoIP mobile phones and UMPC (ultra-mobile PCs) custom-manufactured for VMukti by the world’s third largest embedded developer.  All VMukti applications come pre-installed and act as a low-cost enabler to deliver these video communication-based services.
