Crowdfunding is a useful way of earning money for charity, medical treatment, education, business venture, etc. This mass fund collection helps people all across the world get the financial assistance they need. By now, Ketto has introduced more than 2 lakhs fundraisers and more than 800 Crores funds have been raised and that’s what made us one of the best crowdfunding websites in India.

Ketto helps you fundraise for several causes, be it social, personal or creative. But not every campaign does well. Many fail to fundraise what they need to. So what is behind the success of a crowdfunding campaign? Is asking for help sufficient on the web? Well, it’s quite difficult. Not every crowdfunding campaign gets funded properly as many fail dismally. So, how can someone reach his funding goal successfully and what happens during a fundraising campaign? Do others’ fundraising ideas affect crowdfunders? You can have answers to these questions if you explore Ketto, the biggest platform for crowdfunding in India.

Crowdfunding websites India incorporating Ketto are experiencing a growth in funds for projects related to women empowerment and security on their platforms. Ketto is a donation-based platform and does not appeal to the SEBI norms on equity crowdfunding.

Crowdfunding India has seen a combination of women security items and empowerment-oriented campaigns collect almost INR 10 Crore in funding in recent years. Safer is one such item. It’s a wearable smart jewelry item that sends an alert to a family member or friend when the person wearing it presses this pendant. This pendant has a connection with an app named Safer Walk that incorporates high-end security features and enables the friend or family member to get the accessibility of the precise area of the person wearing the pendant. Through the crowdfunding platform of Ketto, Safer collected nearly INR 6 Lakhs. It seems that women get an additional advantage because they usually use more inclusive and emotional language in their pitch stories and videos than men. Avoiding formal business language works better in their favor and helps raise more funds. And the success of this emotional approach and connection in pitches is constant with the capacities, skills, expertise, and values most sought after across Indian business – for instance fundraising for a cause, empathy, storytelling, and client experience-led design.

Chemotherapy was worse. When a person undergoes chemotherapy it affects them psychologically too. They want to withdraw into a shell. They become so sensitive that they get irritated by the slightest sound or even dim light. It’s due to a condition called neuropathy, a side-effect of cancer treatment where if a person is even touched, it feels like a current. Some weeks are okay but most are bad. The chemotherapy was so hard that Nitesh no longer had a problem with the ‘poop bag’.

Three-Time Cancer Survivor Who Also Lost Her Parents To Cancer Shares Her Story - Ketto

The fourth guest of Podcast MD by Ketto was Smriti Shivdasani. Smriti lost her mother to cancer and 8 years later, she herself was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having lost both her parents to cancer, Smriti began questioning everything in her life. In Jan 2019 she was diagnosed with 4th stage cancer. She had already …

In Jan 2019 I was in a situation where I basically had 4th stage cancer. I had already been through 2 bouts of cancer (2012 and Jan 2018) affecting different parts of my body. Being diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer was a devastating experience. However, I managed not to succumb to despair. My 15 years of Buddhist practice and 5 years of training as a professional in the field of life transformation held me up. Over the course of the next 8 months, I chose to honor myself, my body, my life through the choices I made in my words, thoughts and deeds and eventually the effects started accumulating. My recent tests revealed that the tumors had shrunk and not active anymore. I have realized that illness is a wake-up call that we must pay heed to.

Meet Children Who Got Saved By The Internet - Ketto

The internet is a beautiful, beautiful place. The humans of the internet never cease to surprise us with the things they do – be it trolling a naive celebrity for being ‘politically incorrect’ or uniting a bunch of lost kids with their mother by tweeting about it. It’s been 5 month since his campaigner Sanjay Pandey ended the fundraiser on Ketto. The funds were used to fly Sagar to Bangalore so he can start chemotherapy, it was also used for the food and accommodation of his parents while he got his treatment done.

In less than 24 hours, more than 600 people came forward to support ‘Make Love Not Scars’ fundraiser and raised Rs. 11,77,450. As per the update – Aditya has now been discharged from the private hospital he was in and is being shifted to another hospital because this one didn’t have an isolation ward that Aditya requires in order to avoid a further worse infection. He is slowly return to the playful baby he is. A hospital that we wish not to name right now has pledged their support and the funds collected for Aditya will shortly be utilised once the reconstructive phase starts! We’re super pleased to see Aditya getting better.
