#VelFieApp.com – Create Video Selfies!

By Rammohan Sundaram on April 20, 2015 7 Comments / 1297 views

Hi all,

After much deliberation I have gone the entrepreneurial route the third time.

The story is rather insane, I was about to join as President & Country Head at a leading agency with a fat package, I had another job offer from Singapore which was even fatter.

Then the bug inside me could not digest the opportunity that was put before me. First I had to say no to these fat offers since I had moved on from IbiboAds, then the fact that it is a big risk I am taking given there is always uncertainity in any venture but the thirst inside me knew I had to just do this. So when Ankush Johar (my co-founder) and I got together on the discussion table we knew this was it so here I am with my third venture.

Yes I have started up again and this time the mantra is Mobile First + Entertainment = Audience.

#VelFie

Feel free to come back with any feedbacks you may have. The Android Version is flawless with many more builds releasing by the month end however the iOS version is still in it’s MVP stage with 15 days away from full release.

Go ahead download VelFie on PlayStore for Android and AppStore for iOS and express yourself because #YouAreTheStar.

On day zero we partnered with two clients who were engaging with their audience through #VelFie, Datsun celebrated it’s first birthday through us and the movie “Gabbar Is Back” from Viacom Motion Pictures is going to create a riot starting tomorrow.

Watch this teaser video here (it can’t be embedded on the post)

We are already in 41 countries and it is going nuts on virality.

Look forward to all your support at Rodinhood and Alok thanks for the continuous support as always.

Best
Ram

What would be the difference between this and Dubsmash? I saw a popular TV actress use the Dubsmash app for doing the same thing which Velfie does.

I haven’t used any of the apps or tried to explore as yet. Just curious to know hence asked.

Hi Harsh,

You are right, however please look at both the Apps and you will know the difference but in terms of final output, both are very similar.

However, wait…..:-)

Just watch out for our next build in 8 days, we will blow every experience in the space and smash dub out ;-), till then enjoy the app.

Dear Rammohan,

Congratulations for having Viacom Motion Pictures as one of your first clients. I work with MTV, another BU of Viacom18.

We would like to explore how Velfie and MTV can come together and benefit each other.

Let me know if this interests you.

You can reach me at makarand.advirkar@viacom18.com
