How did it start?
A lot of personal and professional experiences of the founders contributed to the idea of this IT-based start-up. The team of founders strongly believes that each and every individual has the right to dream big and work on it to achieve it.
However, a lot of individuals are unaware of how to achieve their dreams because they lack resources and ideas. This generated an idea in the founders that what if there is unlimited internet provided to each and everyone in the country? If that happens the individuals will gradually figure out what they want to achieve.
This new-age startup started as an incubation in IIT Delhi and with the help of artificial intelligence professors in the university, the founders came up with the model of the start-up. This initiated the idea that instead of some companies everyone should be able to provide and receive internet.
