We live in a country which is full of problems. Sensing the same a few entrepreneurs have taken the challenges (health issues, road safety, hygiene etc) in their own hands and have developed exceptional products that can help the society at large.

If you are still in doubt, here’s a quick link to their offers page

I’m sure by now you’ve got a drift of what we aim at, right?

Entrepreneurs are a different breed, they are smart, sharp and suave, all at the same time. But they have something that really stand out...and that’s their funny bone! So when it came to the most funny day of the year, they all donned the hat of a prankster!

I watched the ongoings on the internet and the above mentioned list made me laugh a bit more than others. Did you discover a funny gem today? Do share it with us!

P.S- All the blame-game on the government is done in good humour! All I can say is - Stay Hungry Stay Foolish
