Wifi Dabba provides super cheap, super fast internet at tea-stalls and bakeries in Bangalore, India.
We built Wifi Dabba because mobile data is still expensive and also because getting wifi at the local bakery is just downright cool.
We focussed on chai wallahs and bakeries because they're everywhere and practically everyone in India gets chai at least once a day from these stalls.
We have 3 plans, Rs.2 for 100mb, Rs.10 for 500mb & Rs.20 for 20GB (edit: whoops, that should say 1GB. Someday we'll hit that low of a rate!). We don't have any free trials or ads because we think the Rs.2 price point is something that everyone can afford.
We've got 100 locations so far, if you're reading this from Bangalore, check out our coverage map on
http://www.wifidabba.com to try us out at a bakery near you.
Our grand plan is to have Bangalore totally covered by the end of this year.
I'm Karam and my co-founder is Shubhendu, Wifi Dabba is actually the result of 6 painful years of building 32 different apps and watching them fail before we found something that had product/market fit. I've lurked on HN for years now and its a mini-daydream come true to be part of YC. We're both happy to answer any questions about Wifi Dabba or even just to commiserate with you on just how hard building products is.
