Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Anish Sarkar: Previously I already did a startup called aldegos.com in 2018, it was an online social media platform for restaurants, in that 3 - 4 years of experience I've gained so much knowledge about most things, and also faced multiple problems and pieces of stuff, But still get over 2000+ restaurants onboarded on aldegos.com platform. Right now I'm in 2nd year of my diploma in computer science, I formed Indore Madhya Pradesh.
Then some time ago I noticed or faced student finding issues getting internships, freelance work, etc, then I got the idea that let's create a platform for students about this problem.
