Raprika lets you discover the hottest parties in Delhi-NCR. Search through the curated list of party events near you and book without a hassle. Forget the long queues outside the club; just flash your entry ticket and get in. It’s so simple. Wanna Party tonight? Just Raprika it.
What inspired you to build the above product/ service?
We saw a big confusion among a lot of people including our friends, about which are the best parties going around near them. The biggest issue was “Where to Party tonight” and it depends on what is going inside the clubs. That’s when Raprika happened.
What is your life mantra?
Be clear what you want to do, give it a shot and life will become simpler.
What was the most challenging part of your journey till now?
It is to reach maximum number of people. We see that there is a need for such a product and the more people we reach, higher the chances of them using it more frequently too. Hence, it is about developing more channels of reaching audience, which may be offline too in addition to online. Catering offline audience at a big level is a big challenge as of now.
