Having attended Modern School, Barakhamba Rd, Nagpur University and INSEAD, Mrigank has grown from being an Account Executive for Text 100 in June of 1999, to being CEO and founder of his brain child ‘Voicetap Technologies’ in February 2009. The idea was conceptualized by Mrigank, and it came to him when his niece wasn’t able to ‘find anyone to talk to’, who could tell her about the various options that exist for college.
Voicetap helps people connect to experts over the mobile phone / internet to discuss any topic. It is a groundbreaking effort in Voice-based Interactive Knowledge Engine or VIKE as it is known, is a mobile-telephony based platform that helps one person connect to another person on a particular topic.

They are now working with two operators, and have deployed path breaking products / services on them.
Mrigank is a squash fanatic, and an excellent horse rider.
