Some of the most important decisions are taken in life from heart, guts and passion, not just numbers.

[Shishir Modi @shishirmodi_]

Our team was faced with the problem statement as open ended as Delivering "Aap bata do" to our consumers.

We figured an entire value chain to deliver the same and built it from ground up - DIFM !

Our consumers asked Niki - Aap bata do (you tell me). @talktoniki

Every time they had to make a purchase decision - they asked Niki to make it for them.

Delivering trust - Phalodi me rehne vaale Dinesh ko ab online transaction se darr nahi lagta.

[Shishir Modi @shishirmodi_]

"I have studied till fourth class and I don't know English, I know only Hindi. I fear that if I press any button on any other app, it will deduct my money. On @talktoniki, I can give my order in voice and I get quality product and service delivered to me."

[Shishir Modi @shishirmodi_]

Bang on!

[Keshav Prawasi @keshavprawasi]

A startup combines extreme elements of irrational optimism of future with ruthless pragmatism of the present. The winning depends on how well you reconcile both in your journey.
