CityMall is an e-commerce platform focused on 500 million new to internet users living in small cities, towns, and villages in India. Backed by top-tier VCs like General Catalyst, Elevation, Accel and Waterbridge, CityMall deals in Grocery, Packaged FMCG, Electronics and Fashion categories. So far e-commerce has primarily benefited residents of the top 8 metropolitan cities in India. Key reasons for this are lack of trust, lack of familiarity with browsing and transacting online, low average order values (which makes economic viability a challenge for the platforms), lack of credit in online channels (which neighbourhood stores offer). We at CityMall are trying to solve this problem for Bharat. CityMall is a highly efficient channel to serve these consumers through "Community Leaders". They are the "Social" & "Geographical" connectors between end consumers and CityMall. They help us in customer acquisition, localised sales & marketing to capture customers' share of wallet, and the last mile logistics in their communities, thus making the community-led model more suitable for small towns, cities, and villages. 80% of our consumers transact for the very first time on CityMall’s app. We are enabling thousands of people to start their small business without any investment. Founded by IIT Delhi and IIT Roorkee alumni with 8+ years of entrepreneurial experience, CityMall aims to create hundreds of thousands of such micro-entrepreneurs and empower them to create the go-to e-commerce platform for Bharat.

Doubtnut leverages technology to make education accessible for all. We have created an App using which students can ask study questions in Math by clicking the picture of the problem or concept. Subject matter experts then create a Khan Academy style video to answer each doubt. Why video, because in our experience as teacher/educator we have seen students not being able to understand text solutions. In fact around 30% of the questions asked on doubtnut so far are actually solved examples from textbooks. The reason for this could be twofold: i. Text solutions are usually the most optimal solution, which might not be the most intuitive one ii. Also, the solutions are optimized for printing hence not all logic and thoughts behind the problem solving are written. With video solution we try not only to find the answer but also make students aware of the problem solving approach employed by the expert. This will lead to deeper understanding of the concept. As of today the low teacher to student ratio and unavailability of good teachers are the biggest hurdles to effective doubt resolution. Doubtnut solves for it by reusing content that has already been created to resolve the doubts, because more students find the same question tough. Hence, a huge number of doubts can be resolved with limited number of teachers. Also the time required to create a video of ‘n’ minutes is ‘n+2’ minutes, which means the marginal cost is minimal, and will reduce to zero over time as we will have videos for most types of questions. Currently, we are working on developing technology to automate answering of questions asked previously using image recognition and Natural Language Processing.

Chalo is Indias #1 bus transport technology company that provides live bus tracking services and contactless payment solutions to transform everyday bus travel into a safer and more reliable experience. Transport is a fundamental need - like water or air. More people are travelling more and more every day. Yet, only around 15% of Indians can afford their own car, private taxi or a two-wheeler. The remaining 85% depend on public transport. Moreover, with growing traffic and congestion it’s becoming increasingly clear that private transport is causing more problems than it is solving; and a small but significant (and growing) segment are outright rejecting car and bike ownership. At Chalo, our core purpose is to make travel better for everyone, and we believe that our cities, our health and our lives will be better when we improve the way we travel. We have begun our journey by focusing on bus travel - making it easier for those that rely on it, and also for those that are choosing it. Buses, as a mode of transport, form the core architecture of any citys transport system. They also offer the largest improvement areas and the largest opportunity to create an impact, with 2 out of 3 public transport users depending on buses for their travel. We welcome a conversation with anyone who shares our vision and values, and especially those who wish to offer a counter-point :-) Chalo!
