Deepak, Hisam, Abhinav and Ashwin, four engineering students from LBS College of Engineering, Kerala, decided to quit their college studies and start a company based on a simple idea.

The ‘simple idea’ was to bridge the gap between the online and offline world. The ‘simple idea’ was to deliver the power of the internet on phones that couldn't access the web, using the SMS technology, reports Business Standard.
