INTRODUCTION TO QLICKET
Qlicket is an angel-backed technology company that focuses on deploying and monetizing WiFi hotspots in India. We have a new and highly disruptive business model to make public WiFi free in India by leveraging our patent-pending ad technology. In the last year alone, we’ve entered agreements that give us access to display our 100% guaranteed engagement format at over 250 locations across 50 different cities in India. We’re running campaigns for some of India’s most well-recognized brands, and we’ve now built our own WiFi hotspot using customized hardware and software that provides users with a much better public WiFi experience. Qlicket has been funded by 16 angels who are located across three continents, have provided the company $250k in total commitments, and maintain affiliations with Google, Microsoft, Boingo, One97, McKinsey, Blackstone, Bharti, TRAI, Wharton/Penn and CMU, among other organizations. Techcircle has described us as “one of India’s 10 most promising tech startups.”
