This startup is the brainchild of two MBA friends – Rahul and Ajit. At XLRI, Jamshedpur , they often discussed business ideas during their free time. However, they both entered the corporate world after their post graduation.

In summer 2014, Ajit dropped his smartphone and had a really tough time getting the screen repaired. Finding time to run from one shop to the other, negotiating on price, uncertainty on the components being used left him frustrated. He shared his bad experience with Rahul, who was also finding it difficult to get his phone repaired. More than the difficulty, what shocked them was when they were facing this difficulty in Tier 1 cities, then what the situation in other small cities was. That’s when they realized how unorganized the entire repair industry in the country is and that there is a lot of scope for adding value to consumers in this segment. That’s when Justlikenew was born and since then there is no looking back for the entire team.

Ajit has over 6 years of experience in Marketing, Strategy, and Sales & Technology across organizations like HCL, Lenovo and TCS. He completed his Bachelors in Information Technology and holds an MBA degree from XLRI Jamshedpur. On the other hand, Rahul is a Sales & Marketing professional with close to 4 years of experience in organizations like Coca-Cola. Rahul holds a B.Tech. in Computer Science and completed Masters from XLRI Jamshedpur.

Apart from these two co-founders, this startup has a team of passionate people including –

• VidhiSinghal, Vice President, Marketing
• Ramakrishna Chava, Vice president, Refurbished Sales
• Pradeep Patil, Vice President, New Business Initiatives

Today, the enterpriseis virtually present all across the country, and is physically present in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi and Gurgaon. For these cities, they repair phones within 2 days and provide free home pick up and drop service. For all other cities Pan India they have free courier services and sends special packaging material for people to send their phones in. Post repair, the phones are delivered to the customer right at their doorstep.
