Providing jobs for needy and freshers
Sandesh says, “For a year until I received 15 connections, I worked alone as it was very difficult. After 50 more connections, I kept on hiring more employee. Today, I have over 60 employees working relentlessly for my company. I always look for needy people who are looking for jobs and freshers. I understand their pain as I went through a lot of difficulties being jobless and found it difficult to get a job as a fresher. All my employees working at DeeNet are practical engineers.”
How DeeNet took shape
Sandesh was a medical representative and also had done an animation course. He was working in Hyderabad at DQ Entertainment. He wanted to start something in Mangaluru so Sandesh shifted to Mangaluru from Hyderabad. One day, when his internet was slow, he was more curious about to know about internet supply and researched about it.
Sandesh then contacted the telecommunication department to seek information about the license. After returning from Hyderabad and went through a lot of hardships where he also set up mobile recharge shop. After investing for internet supply, he constructed a 30 meter tower at Red Building and the first 500 connections were wireless.
“Vincent Carlo was the first customer of DeeNet. For 15 connections, it took a year. Word of mouth publicity for the service gave it momentum and connections increased every year. Today, we have over 15,000 connections in the district,” says Sandesh.
DeeNet has its franchises in Davanagere, Gulbarga, Sirsi, Madikeri, Hubballi, Haveri, and Kundapur. The process of setting up franchises in Belgaum is in process. In Dakshina Kannada, there are franchises at Beltangady, Moodbidri, Karkala, Puttur, Sullia and Mulky.
Sandesh thanked Mark Menezes from Red Building who supported and encouraged him in his journey of setting up DeeNet. In the year 2015, DeeNet became DeeNet Services Private Limited with three directors Narayana Holla, Ashok and Shwetha.
During its initial days, the internet packages started from 512 Mbps to 4 Mbps at the cost of Rs 600 and Rs 1,600 respectively. DeeNet has also over 60 commercial orders including Yenepoya, St Joseph’s Engineering College among others.
