There are many services that provide Internet radio, but the vast majority of these services, like Pandora, focus on the musical aspect of radio as opposed to talk radio or spoken word content.  G.D. Ramkumar and his company Concept.io are looking to remedy this with the release of their new mobile app Swell.  Ramkumar believes that consumers would engage with a discovery platform for talk radio content as much as they have for personalized Internet music services.  That’s why he’s had his company focus on the creation of Swell in an attempt to offer smartphone users an easy way to find great spoken word content tailored specifically to their interests and tastes.  Ramkumar sees Swell as an opportunity to make spoken word content accessible and easy for mobile users to enjoy.  Those interested in Swell that have trouble installing it on their iPhone should contact iPhone tech support.  Concept.io CEO G.D. Ramkumar is obviously a cool person in technology who knows how to find new potential markets and capitalize. 

Ramkumar and his team at Concept.io have designed Swell to utilize multiple different factors in recommending content to users.  Of course, it takes a person’s own ratings of content into consideration to make recommendations, but other aspects also inform the process.  It also takes into account the ratings given by other users that are similar to you.  The app even has a human curator who can provide more educated guesses of your tastes beyond the app’s colder mathematical methods.  Ramkumar wants to make sure that Swell’s recommendations successfully provide the right content to its users.

Ramkumar was previously the founder and CEO of Snaptell, which Ramkumar sold to a subsidiary of Amazon named A9.  Snaptell was a mobile marketing company, so it is clear that Ramkumar has had his sights on the mobile space of computer software for quite some time.

Ramkumar is also an accomplished academic in the fields of computer science and robotics.  He received his PhD in computer science from Stanford University.  His doctoral thesis focused on the field of robotics.  Ramkumar did his undergraduate work at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras before coming to the United States for his graduate work.  Ramkumar’s intellectual achievements are just as impressive as his business acumen.

Ramkumar’s app Swell is currently available on the iTunes app store.  If you have trouble using iTunes, Mac support is available to help you.
