A couple examples I’ve run across:
DataWind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataWind), which is now at a more mature stage.
Went to a talk by one of the founders recently. They made a really cheap tablet and internet services that work over 2G, which opens up the market of large sections of India currently without internet access. I think they could end up being quite successful.
A early stage example is EyeCheck (http://www.eyechecksolutions.com/), started by a couple of engineers out of undergrad. They’re developing a tool to improve diagnosis of vision problems to increase efficiency of providing glasses (think they’re starting working with NGOs running vision camps).
