Idea Brief

NEPRISE is a multi-sector aggregator of professionals and technical services

They serve the highly fragmented and unorganized professional services industry as both talented professionals and customers did not have easy access to professional work

Start-up Idea

The genesis of NEPRISE was a journey of collaboration which is still evolving. As the venture progressed, the co-founders continuously endeavoured to catalyze their global expertise alongside localised insights in terms of regional situations/projects. During the initial period, NEPRISE worked in a few projects across multiple disciplines. During that time, there was further validation that the highly fragmented and unorganized nature of the professional services industry was a real problem, as both talented professionals and customers did not have easy access to professional work. The co-founders saw this as a complex problem which has Pan-India prevalence, and particularly in Tier-2 to 5 towns, plus regions like the North-East. With such insights along the enterprise journey, the co-founders developed a suitable solution – the 'NEPRISE Service Aggregator Platform for Multi-Sector Professional Services’. The team has one market validation via customer/associate/partner on-boarding, and subsequent cash-flow/revenue generation via execution of multiple projects.

Another milestone is diversification of offline revenue streams, which currently include fees from direct projects, platform transactions, referrals & collaborations. With ongoing/active stakeholder engagements during Covid-19, the NEPRISE business model has so far proven to be resilient, and is an encouraging aspect.
