Google honours Kerala startup Riafy technologies at global conference

KOCHI: Google’s just-concluded annual developer festival in California garnered attention when a Kerala-based app company featured in the keynote of the three-day event where participants from around the globe discussed latest products.

Riafy Technologies, a Kochi based startup, was used in a new Google feature that helped reduce the size of an app ‘Cookbook Recipes’ by 37 per cent. Google I/O 2019 featured Riafy Technologies in the ‘Android App bundle’ conducted during the meet, according to Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM).
Riafy had a field day with a trio of showcases at the festival, thus achieving a rare hat-trick, according to John Mathew, CEO of the startup. The 2013-founded company, which has created a suite of apps in the categories of food, photography and fitness, is being incubated under KSUM.
