It started with one idea and a waitlist.

In February 2021, an idea clicked for Ayush: students were missing out on discounts brands would happily give them. We registered a domain, taught ourselves to code and put up a landing page to collect a waitlist.

Brands ignored our emails until one said yes. Then came Rapido, a community that grew from 50 students to 500, and a platform that now helps lakhs of students pay less. This gift card store is the next step.

How it happened

  1. The idea

    An idea clicks for Ayush. We start researching the same day.

  2. The official start

    We register the domain, learn to code, build a simple landing page and start a waitlist.

  3. Talking to students

    After a bunch of calls with students who wanted this, we decide to go all in.

  4. Our first yes

    Sidharth joins and builds the website. No brand takes a meeting, until three weeks later one does: Naagin Sauce comes on board.

  5. Rapido signs up

    Students start using our discounts and saving time and money. The day we’d been waiting for.

  6. A community from scratch

    A closed club of 50 students grows into a 500-member community.

  7. Gift cards

    The same savings on brands students use every day, delivered by email and SMS in under a minute.
