GET 1GB DATA ONLY FOR 20 rupees
The Y Combinator- backed startup is already selling data at a significantly low price. Check out their data packages: 100 MB for Rs 2; 500 MB for Rs 10; and 1 GB for Rs 20 - with a uniform validity of 24 hours. Comparatively, Jio provides 150 MB at Rs 19 to its pre-paid customers and 1.05 GB at Rs 52.
This data is available in the form of pre-paid tokens sold by small shops like tea stalls and local bakeries in Bengaluru. "We do not ask our users to download any app. They just need to punch in their mobile numbers, fill in the OTP for verification, punch in the key and connect to the internet," explains Sharma. For anyone who has accessed Wifi in a hotel, the process is very similar, where you connect to the Wifi Dabba network and a browser page opens for you to key in the details.
The founders plan to have lakhs of these routers in place in the next 3-4 years and be the preferred choice for data consumption. The company is currently seed funded by Y Combinator and a few other investors.
"The idea is to build this homegrown hardware and at the same time, tailor it for future tech use where IoT services providers can make use of our network. This would be another revenue stream for us," adds Sharma.
