Users in Bharat understand premium and are ready to pay for it, you just have to create the right value for them.

वो कहते हैं ना - माँ-बाप की इज्जत उस दिन बढ़ती जब उन्हें उनकी औलाद के नाम से जाना जाने लगे - बस ये कुछ ऐसी सी कहानी है।

In Nov’18, our world was set upside down. It was lethal, everything that our company did was wiped out overnight, so much so that we were about to shut down. What happened after that and how we survived (thrived) in the last 18 months is a story for another day. But this led to a series of events which have brought us here today.
