Speaking with Mr Ramesh Sinha, Founder – SharkID, said, “At the outset, we had decided to design a product that is disruptive and accelerates the pace of change. SharkID meshes technologies to actually smarten the smartphone and puts the choice in the user’s hands, for once. We all have multiple digital coordinates today – mobile number, email, Instagram, twitter, facebook, LinkedIn, etc…which makes for an increasingly cluttered digital profile, making it almost impossible to recall or store. SharkID enables convergence – share your single-point contact and the recipient will get all your coordinates. Moreover, Digital Business Cards that can be shared easily – no hassle of carrying actual visiting cards. Because you can control who has access to your card, you choose who can contact you.”

Elaborating further, he added, “Due to our technology DNA, we have access to a good talent pool. Backed by a robust technology backbone, SharkID boasts best-of-breed features and the user can do a Single click call, email, SMS, WhatsApp etc…directly. There are additional features such as searching by hashtags and grouping, enabled by Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence”.
