Between the four walls of college classes, there are millions of memories made every day. Sometimes, along with memories, students make businesses which go on to become huge in the later stages of their life. Here are some startups which were founded by students in college and aare now a big name in their respective industries:
Practo
Practo is the trusted and familiar platform where people find a healing touch. It connects them with everything they need to take good care of themselves and their family - assessing health issues, finding the right doctor, booking diagnostic tests, obtaining medicines, storing health records or learning new ways to live healthier. Healthcare providers can also harness the power of Practo as the definitive platform that helps them build their presence, grow establishments and engage patients more deeply than ever. Around 50 million appointments are booked every year on Practo with around 200,000 healthcare providers. The app was started by Shashank ND and Abhinav Lal who got the idea after Shashank's father was supposed to undergo an operation but couldn't track the doctor. This motivated them to create a platform where other people could find and fix appointment with a doctor.
Bewakoof.com
IIT Bombay graduates, Prabkiran Singh and Siddharth Munot used to get T-shirts printed for their college and once their graduation was over, they decided to continue with the business. The two come up with idea of print T-shirts based on latest trends and buzz words.

They aspired to bring a change in how people consume fashion and formed BEWAKOOF.com. They brought along ‘difference makers’ from various industries; design lovers, tech enthusiasts, quality buffs and marketing maniacs. Because, ‘Together we are worth more’.Today, Bewakoof.com, continues to do what it loves in order to transform the fashion landscape. We innovate so you can be the Bewakoof at what you love and leave the rest to us!"
NoteMyBook
NoteMyBook was started early in 2016 by Divyansh Saxena along with Vikramank Singh – both computer engineering students at Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute of Technology (VESIT). NoteMyBook is a platform that allows students to buy and sell books. The website works as the gap between buyers and sellers of second hand engineering books. The students merely have to register themselves with the site as either of the two options and then the company then collects the books from sellers and then delivers them to buyers at their doorsteps.
