Event discovery app Partiko has chosen for FbStart

Facebook has chosen New Delhi-based event discovery app Partiko for its new FbStart program, a suite of business and technology services for mobile app startups. FbStart helps mobile startups at different stages in their lifecycles build and grow their apps by providing them with access to the right tools.

The startup is currently bootstrapped and looking for funding for team expansion and marketing the product. Partiko will now receive services and credits worth $40,000 in addition to mentorship from Facebook’s engineering teams and services.

Founded by IIT-Roorkee alumni Amanjot Malhotra and Gaurav Saini, ex-payTm engineer, the apple allows users to personalize their feeds by tags and interests. Notably, the platform has also integrated other popular social platforms which allow the users to share their posts on other platforms which expand its reach.

“First of all FbStart program helped us curb down on our server billings which have sky-rocketed without even marketing the platform, also it will be an added boost and receiving mentorship from the pioneer of social networking will be a huge opportunity as we too are focusing on the similar segment in the longer run” said the co-founders.
