The Team
Harsh Narang
Founder

He has worked in the Algorithmic Trading Desk at an international Investment Bank, with a start up firm within IIT-D and also as a Research Assistant at a reputed European University. The concept of free photocopying came to him on a long afternoon in 2007, after he had just copied a mountain of notes! He worked on refining the concept and the financials and fleshed out the idea over the course of the year - and PhokatCopy was born! With a team of fellow IIT-D companions, Harsh has participated and won laurels at numerous entrepreneurship and business plan competitions for this idea. He has been recognised at institutions such as IIT-D, IIT-R, IIT-M, IIM-B, PEC, Delhi University amongst others. Currently, Harsh acts as the founding director of PhokatCopy and would love to discuss the idea and its potential with you at: harsh.narang@phokatcopy.com
