Our Story — How It All Started
It was 2008. IPL had just launched. Cricket fans across India wanted to engage with the game beyond just watching it on TV — and the existing options were sketchy bookies in local markets who took forever to pay out, charged hidden commissions, and disappeared when you complained.
Our founder, Rohan Mehta, an ex-software engineer from Bengaluru, saw the gap and built a simple solution: a verified, WhatsApp-based bridge between Indian players and legit exchange platforms. The premise was straightforward — treat players like adults, pay them on time, and answer their questions in their own language.
What started with one Nokia phone and a basic spreadsheet has grown into a 45-person operation spanning three cities — Bengaluru (tech & operations), Mumbai (customer support & payments), and Delhi (compliance & marketing). We process 1,000+ deposit requests every single day with an average activation time of under 2 minutes.
Today, when you ask any serious cricket bettor in India who they trust for a 99Exch ID, our name comes up. Not because we shout the loudest on Instagram, but because we've spent 16 years quietly building a track record — paying every withdrawal, answering every WhatsApp message, and treating customers like people, not transactions. The proof is in the numbers: 50,000+ active players, ₹100+ crore lifetime payouts, zero unresolved disputes.
