Q) What inspired you to come up with this application? How much you had to spend for the same and did you get any technical/financial support from any software company? Explain the app's functioning?
A) All my apps are for students and exam aspirants. I developed them by myself and no one has taken and received any technical and financial support for any cooperation. My applications provide content for students from remote areas in Hindi media.


Q) What is your salary and family background? How much would you have earned, had these applications been sold in the open market?
A) I am a government teacher of Sanksrit from Rajasthan and earn a government employee's salary. All my applications are freely available on Google Play Store and can be downloaded by anyone for free.
