- मुंबई स्थित यह स्टार्टअप ISB से पढ़े रोहन, IIT एलुमनाई वैभव सराफ और IIM एलुमनाई ऋषभ संघवी की मेहनत का नतीजा है। उन्होंने साल 2019 में इसकी नींव रखी और 2020 से यह काम शुरू हुआ। शुरूआती महीनों में ही उनके यहाँ से 100 से भी ज्यादा प्रोटेक्शन पर्चेस हुई और लगभग 60 हज़ार से ज्यादा लोग उनकी वेबसाइट देख चुके हैं। ग्राहकों की परेशानी को हल करने के उद्देश्य से शुरू हुए इस स्टार्टअप को लगभग 700 लाख रुपये की फंडिंग मिल चुकी है।
- अगर चार्ट बनने के बाद भी आपका टिकट कन्फर्म नहीं हुआ है तो रेलोफाई से आपको उतने ही या थोड़े से ज्यादा पैसे में ट्रेन या बस की टिकट उपलब्ध कराई जाती है। इसके लिए आपको ट्रेन की वेटिंग लिस्ट या RAC में टिकट खरीदते समय ही, रेलोफाई पर प्लेन या बस की टिकट भी लॉक करनी पड़ती है। इससे बाद में अगर आपकी ट्रेन टिकट कन्फर्म न हो तो आप कम दाम में ही, जो लॉक करते समय टिकट का दाम था, उसी में प्लेन या बस की टिकट खरीद सकते हैं।
- रेलोफाई के इस मॉडल से मुंबई की दीपिका ने लगभग 18 हज़ार रुपये की बचत की। उन्होंने बताया कि उनके परिवार के छह सदस्यों ने लगभग तीन महीने पहले से ही दिल्ली से मुंबई ट्रेन टिकट बुक की थी। लेकिन उनकी टिकट कन्फर्म नहीं हुई। वह आगे कहती हैं कि तत्काल टिकट 4000 हज़ार रुपये की थी और फ्लाइट की टिकट 5000 रुपये की। पर रेलोफाई से उन्हें प्लेन की टिकट 2000 रुपये की पड़ी और तय दिन ही उनके परिवार के सभी सदस्य मुंबई पहुँच गए, वह भी समय से पहले।

- Founded in 2019, Mumbai-based Near.Store set out to enhance India’s mom-and-pop stores by helping them make their offline inventory digitally searchable and discoverable.
- "Even though ecommerce had gained acceptance and significance in the Indian markets, it was interesting to see that the 17 million ‘mom-and-pop’ shops continued to control over 80 percent of the market share in the consumer goods sector. We saw a latent opportunity in creating a hyperlocal tech solution that could help shop owners use their inherent advantage of proximity to the customers in further consolidating their business," says Ashish.
- Once the Near.Store dongle is connected, the device uploads all products that the shop sells onto a dedicated online store. This doesn’t require any additional software installation, electricity, Wi-Fi, or entering any data manually.
