Why we built Taprio
It started with a frustration. Running ApplyStudyVisa — a study-abroad consultancy in Malerkotla, Punjab — meant meeting dozens of students and parents every week. Paper visiting cards were printed, handed out, and forgotten. Numbers changed, addresses updated — but the cards were already in someone's drawer or dustbin.
The solution was obvious but didn't exist in India the way it should. Digital visiting cards were either too expensive, locked behind monthly subscriptions, required an app, or were built for Western markets with no understanding of how Indian professionals share — WhatsApp first, then everything else.
So in 2024, we built Taprio from Malerkotla. NFC-first, because tapping a card on a phone is the most impressive way to share your contact. Built around WhatsApp, QR codes and lead capture — the real tools Indian businesses use. Starting at ₹1,999 with free delivery across India.
"Every professional in India deserves a smart visiting card — not just those who can afford ₹500/month subscriptions. Taprio is one-time payment because it should be."

We're a small, focused team building big. Every feature on Taprio exists because a real user from Punjab needed it — the WhatsApp button, the lead form, the Google Maps link, the UPI QR.
