About Fancall

The internet made everyone reachable. Nobody picks up.

So we built the app where they do. Fans get a reply, creators get paid for their time, and brands get creators people actually listen to. Turns out one app could do all three.

Why

Following someone isn't the same as talking to them.

  1. 01The problem

    You can watch someone every day for years and never exchange a word.

    Comments go unread, DMs pile up, and the creator (a person with a day, a family and a voice that gets tired) can't possibly answer all of it. We don't think that's anyone's fault. We think it's a missing feature.

  2. 02The fix

    Doctors charge. Lawyers charge. Creators did it for ❤️s.

    Not anymore. Fans pay by the minute, creators actually pick up, and the meter keeps it fair. Everyone gets their minute’s worth.

  3. 03Brands, too

    Brands come in the same door.

    A creator who already talks to their audience one-on-one is worth briefing properly, so we built campaigns with the brief, the chat, the drafts and the money in one place, and our fee is ₹0. We checked the maths twice.

Where it started

It started with one unanswered question.

Ahmedabad, 2020. Lockdown. Our founder Akash was learning everything from YouTube, like the rest of India.

He could watch a creator for hundreds of hours. He couldn’t ask them one question. Comments sank. DMs got “Seen.” Not because creators didn’t care. There was just no fair way to give someone a few real minutes. So he built one. Fancall was registered in July 2020 and went live in July 2021. Fans call creators one-on-one, creators get paid for their time, and brands get creators people actually listen to.

  • 2.5 lakh+Users
  • 1,700+Verified creators

Still bootstrapped. Still in Ahmedabad. Still picking up.

  1. You follow.Notifications on. Obviously.Following
  2. You comment.It drowns somewhere between 🔥 and “bro what.”No reply
  3. You DM.“Seen.” The internet’s cruellest word.Seen
  4. You call.And this time, they pick up.Connected

Our mission and vision

01Our mission · what we do every day

Creators already spend enough time creating, posting, replying, negotiating, chasing, planning, and somehow doing the jobs of five different people at once.

We believe they deserve a platform that's working just as hard for them. That's why Fancall exists: to stand with creators. Whether it's helping them discover opportunities, earn fairly, build stronger relationships with their audience, or simply making the business of being a creator a little less overwhelming, our job is simple: creators should never have to do it all alone.

02Our vision · where it leads

We want to build the platform creators never have to think twice about opening.

The place they come to when they need a brand deal, want to talk to their biggest supporters, collaborate with another creator, or simply know someone's got their back. If the internet is where creators build an audience, we want to be their home base.

What we’re building

One app. Three kinds of people.

Direct, one-on-one calls with the creators they already follow.

For fans

A way to connect with their audience and earn from their time.

For creators

Discover the right creators and build partnerships that feel real.

For brands

Akash has a habit of starting things. By 26, he’d turned a ₹90,000 birthday gift into a ₹43 lakh coaching business. Then came ventures in mining and logistics. Somewhere in between, he quit a government job after three months. In Gujarat, that’s basically a plot twist.

When Fancall came along, he stepped back from everything else to build it full-time. His one rule for the app hasn’t changed since day one: if fans care enough to call, creators should get paid to pick up.

Serial entrepreneur. Part-time book hoarder (300+ and counting). Full-time Fancall.

What we believe in

Four things we won’t trade.

  1. 01Talking beats typing.

    Sending a message is easy. Getting an answer is the hard part. On Fancall, fans call creators one-on-one. It starts on audio, switches to video when you’re both ready, and chat stays open for 24 hours after. No more shouting into comment sections.

  2. 02The price is on the door.

    Creators set their own per-minute rate, and fans see it before they call. You only pay for connected minutes, so if the call doesn’t connect, you pay nothing. Creators keep 80% of every call. Nobody gets a shock when the call ends.

  3. 03Everybody wins. Even the brands.

    Fans get a real conversation. Creators get paid for their time, on their own hours. Brands find creators people actually listen to, approve every draft and pay ₹0 Fancall fee. Three sides, everyone wins.

  4. 04Safe first. Ringtone second.

    Phone numbers stay hidden. Creators only get calls during the hours they choose. Fans and creators can both report anyone, and every brand is verified. Without trust, nobody picks up.

Our journey

One “Seen” later, here we are.

One question.
Zero replies.

Lockdown, 2020. Fans could follow anyone and talk to no one. Akash had one question for a creator and nowhere to ask it. So Fancall started in Ahmedabad to fix the “Seen” problem.

What we believe

Looking ahead

Plot twist: there’s more.

The goal hasn’t changed since day one: make the space between following a creator and talking to them smaller. Here’s what we’re working towards.

  • Bragging rights, built in.Moments from your call worth keeping and sharing, because “I talked to them” needs proof.
  • More “hello,” less “unavailable.”Making it easier for creators to be online when their fans call.
  • Fewer follow-ups. Way fewer.Better creator search, clearer briefs, and the end of “just checking in on this.”

Everyone’s one call away.

Be part of a world where following a creator can turn into a real conversation.
