2. TAPZO
3. TASK BOB
4. AUCTIONATA
5. BEEPI
 Startup Name Tapzo
Headquarter Bengaluru
Founders Ankur Singla, Vishal Chaudhary,.
Launch 2012
TAPZO
 Tapzo was an app aggregator- it brought
together apps across all categories under a
single roof. Despite having a huge user base-
around fourteen thousand users, regular
subscriptions, and solid investments, the
startup was valued nearly at half the value of
the previous round of investments. This led to
the acquisition of Tapzo by Amazon Pay.
 StartupName Taskbob
Headquarter Bengaluru
Founders Aseem Khare, Abhiroop Medhekar
Launch 2014
TASK BOB
 Taskbob was a startup that aimed to provide
home services to customers. The services can
be anything- beauty to home repairs. While the
idea was great and achieved targets, it was
neither scalable nor profitable. A rise in
margins saw a fall in the number of customers.
Ultimately, they had to shutdown company in
India.

provided vegetarian meals to school students. Their
customer lists boast of nearly eighty-five schools
and over 1500 students. Crossing two thousand
subscribers, acquiring other food businesses were
milestones. The reason for the shutdown is company
cited ‘ being unable to achieve targets’ as the
reason. They are one of companies that shut down
in India but are however working on strategy and
are hoping to resume services in the future.
