Thiruvananthapuram, May 24 2012: Yet another Tablet PC – this time fuelled by Indian innovation in the UK. The Shikky brothers Abhishek and Aromal,  with roots in Kerala, crafted the KloudPad in Canterbury, UK, with help from the Chamber of Commerce in Kent. It claims to be the  first with a built in 3G SIM slot.
Both the Shikky brothers are MBAs from Canterbury Christ Church University ( class of 2009). Their first venture was CLOUDSys - a cloud computing solutions consultancy started with the help of Channel Chamber of Commerce and Basepoint, Folkestone. KloudPad was started by the brothers in 2010 in Canterbury and was incubated by the Kent Chamber of Commerce. They also got research grants from Innovate UK. With inputs from the Engineering Department of University of Greenwich. http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/centres/enterprise-business-development/student/inspirations.asp
