“Primarily, WiJungle was started as a 'Completely Free WiFi Service' in 2015 and became the first private Indian company to do so. The service was required to be shut down after 8 months of launch due to finances, but the experience gave us a deep insight into the real-time operational challenges and hurdles in a network. Just after that, we entered IT services to convert out red into the black. Almost after a year, we again moved back to the product space as we originally planned to start HttpCart in 2014 with the vision to make it a global product company. This time it was an extended version of our software which we built for managing Free WiFi. It was a Social WiFi product designed extensively for Hospitality space. Unfortunately, this time the telecom revolution turned out to be a bane and we were under immense pressure on what to do next. After a month of analysis, we realized with our experiences that it is the unified security which would follow after the extensive data availability and this is how it all started.” says Mr. Karmesh Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO, of WiJungle
