Story behind tiktik
Commenting on why India needs tiktik, Y Ravi says, “Consumer trust in telecom is broken, tiktik attempts to fix it”. This resonates with what Sunil Mittal, GSMA chairman said in his keynote address at MWC2017, “The reputation index of telecom industry is just above tobacco”. For an industry which plays such a crucial role in nation-building, this is a wake-up call. tiktik attempts to empower a billion telecom users in India through better transparency.
tiktik is founded by two friends, Y Ravi & Anil Kumar. Y Ravi is a graduate from IIT Delhi & IIM Bangalore, while Anil holds an MCA from Andhra University. Y Ravi quit as a marketing head at a leading telecom to co-found tiktik, while Anil has considerable experience at a top chip company. Commenting on the technology which powers tiktik, Anil says, “The app looks so simple to use, but believe me, the tech behind it isn’t so. Just like weather API, we have built a network API which we can integrate with other apps”.
tiktik launched only a few weeks ago and has witnessed good consumer traction with a 4.8 rating on Play Store. The bootstrapped startup is in advanced discussions with a couple of investors to raise their first investment. On being probed why is the app named tiktik, Y Ravi who worked at tech companies earlier, quips, “We wanted it to not sound like tech, hence the name.”
