The Birth of Dunoya
Since childhood, my dream was to do something that would bring real change.
But reality kicked in hard—until I heard the magic word, just 100 days before college ended.
The word was Entrepreneurship, and that one word shifted my entire perspective.
Suddenly, all my dreams, ideas, and questions made sense.
After graduating, I started my career in my dad's shop. Over time, I noticed that shop owners,
including my dad, and nearby businesses were all waiting for walk-in customers,
relying heavily on Foot-Traffic to survive.
After recognizing this, another question arose—this time from a consumer's perspective.
I experienced a similar frustration: searching for a product,
only to either not find it or discover it didn’t meet my expectations.
From a business standpoint, the primary challenge identified was Visibility.
Shortly after, from the consumer's perspective, the second key issue became clear—Convenience.
Combining both Visibility and Convenience, I laid the foundation for Dunoya.
The foundation of Dunoya took shape after that.
It wasn’t easy. From December 2019 to December 2023,
I went through 9 failed iterations.
I pushed forward to the 10th iteration, and that’s when Dunoya was born in early 2024.
But even then, it wasn’t the end—it took another 4 months of work.
After 11 iterations, I finally found the solution, And then, a miracle happened in my life,
quietly but powerfully changing everything. That marked the end of the foundation stage.
Where am I now? This story matters because, since childhood, I witnessed the struggles my dad faced as a self-employed
business owner running a biryani shop—the hard work, the pain.
And this isn’t just his story; it’s
the story of millions of self-employed people across India, your friends, families, and neighbors who run offline businesses.
Dunoya isn’t just a platform—it’s a solution to bring back visibility to these businesses, giving them a chance to thrive in the digital era.

If you’ve ever thought of starting your own offline business, remember—we’re here for you.
