Hi awesome folks,
This is Pallav from Griggi. We are an early stage startup (pre-launch) and we are on a big mission to create a WiFi sharing ecosystem in India so you never have to use your expensive 3g and instead use a nearby WiFi no matter where you’re. I’m sure we have all faced this problem of not having a good internet around when we are outside of our houses and even if there is free WiFi available, the speed is usually crappy.
We are at initial steps of partnering up with local businesses like restaurants, cafes, coworking spaces where people like to use WiFi. To understand better on how it works and what’s in it for small businesses, read this.
Griggi Advantages
1. Miniscule cost – There are no ‘recurring’ cost with Griggi. You just need to pay one time router cost. We even discount that if you have more than 100 users using Griggi every month.
2. Abuse control – You can specify total data shared every month & the WiFi sharing will be disabled once that quota is hit. You can also specify per user quota (total quota / expected users) & each user who surpass his quota will no longer be able to use WiFi for that month. Most WiFi owners keep extremely slow/annoying speed to prevent abuse but you do not have to.
3. No sharing password – Griggi provides an open WiFi to which only Griggi registered users can connect. A new user can register with Griggi by connecting to your Griggi WiFi. Dont worry, we have built-in abuse control & open WiFi does not mean WiFi up for abuse.
4. User data monitoring – We do a book keeping of every user. Users need to register with their mobile phone number so they can be tracked. This is in accordance with Indian laws for WiFi sharing.
5. Extremely user friendly – We have built innovative ways to ensure your users have a great experience using your WiFi. They get to see the speed they are getting upfront, their data quota etc.
By the way this is how Griggi dashboard would look like –
So far the feedback has been tremendous. We took the lean approach and validated the idea first. In fact the story was so interesting, it was published on Yourstory.
Now we are starting to ramp up our partnerships and looking for community members who can help us accelerate it.
Would you guys be kind enough to connect me to restaurants, cafes, coworking spaces or companies similar to oyo rooms etc. so we can partner up with more small businesses?
We are looking to target Bangalore and Delhi first.
