Bluechits - Crowdifying Dreams




A Small Journey. Long way to go!


What is your Startup about?
BlueChits is an upcoming CrowdFunding platform in India with the sole motive of bringing new ideas to life. We believe that Ideas are meant to be up there and not in the bin. It opens up a world of possibilities for the Creators and Enthusiasts. It focuses not only on turning ideas into successful campaigns, but also at protecting the crowd against financial risks and providing full security to the funding through stern verification system. We believe that ‘CrowdFunding’ is tailor made for India where people are receptive to new ideas and appreciate innovation. With its ‘Minimal Restriction’ model, BlueChits ensures that each one has an opportunity to Create and Fund. Along with Quantity, They aim at Quality.

Our main objective is to catch the attention of people towards new ideas and support them. We aim at educating Indians about the concept of CrowdFunding. Because, it is the clarity of the concept that will instill the confidence about CrowdFunding in India. BlueChits is here for serious business. We take ideas seriously. Our purpose is to bring about a change in the young Indian mind which is a breeding ground for some real good ideas.


How did you arrive at this idea?
 The whole idea came into existence because of lack of resources we have in our country. It was supposed to be simply a creative platform initially. But, we decided to re-design it and add value to what people do and can achieve in India. We are totally convinced that people need a platform to share their talent. But, we were stuck at a point from where there was no guidance. It was the 'Light Bulb' moment! We realized that there are many who are stuck on one idea. It is important to have a way out and move forward. That is when BlueChits, as a Crowdfunding platform, came into existence!

What was the biggest hurdle you faced to start a Start-up?

As a Start-up, it is difficult to know the future prospects of an idea. For some ideas, people can simply search and get the necessary details. For some, you have to work on the ground to gather relevant data. The sad part about start-ups in India is lack of guidance. Innovators are looking for a window to enter the lucrative world of start-ups. But, not everyone gets the right guidance. It is important that each one receives equal opportunities.

What are your expansion plans?
 As far as future is concerned, we are very optimistic about it based on the response of the people and our selection in several big entrepreneurship competitions present in the country. We are currently expanding our team. We have the unique distinction of having more than 35 college ambassadors in premier institutes giving us the much needed ground visibility, something which our competitors don't possess. In the next 12-16 months, we have the initial target of having about 100 successful Crowdfunding campaigns on BlueChits out of which 30-35 would be handpicked by us. In the long term, we plan to be a One Stop Shop for new idea, innovations and Crowdfunding campaigns in India.
