What is a Digital Visiting Card?

A digital visiting card (also called a digital business card or e-visiting card) is a webpage with all your professional information — photo, name, phone number, WhatsApp button, social links, website, and more. Instead of printing paper cards, you share this link via WhatsApp, QR code, or NFC tap.

In India, "digital visiting card" is more commonly searched than "digital business card." Taprio is India's first platform that makes digital visiting cards completely free forever, with optional NFC hardware upgrades.

Did you know? Over 10 billion paper visiting cards are printed every year in India. Most are thrown away within a week. A digital visiting card stays on the person's phone as long as they keep your WhatsApp chat.
