Unusual Job Description

Arrived in my mail box today, a recruiter's mail. Usual stuff, except when it was not. Company is in the field of assistive healthcare technology. Beside usual words like rockstar programmer, following line stood out:

"..Make products that win awards from the President of India and MIT and are subjects of TED talks..."

These are great things for publicity, but how do you predict which product has potential to win these kind of things or quantify it. Did someone run any analysis on list of Presidential award winners or TED talks?
