Cashing in

Seeing the long queues outside ATMs and the confusion and chaos about the availability of cash in the wake of the demonetisation, two engineering graduates from Coimbatore's Government College of Technology decided to do something to help the struggling people. "With the ongoing mess in the country, we thought'why not build something to help ease the situation'. Though there are other interfaces that dispense similar information, ATMBot is different because it is crowd-funded. Users need not download an extra application on their phone to use it," says Abishek Muthian, who founded the city-based start-up Timebender Technologies India Private Limited along with Aravindhan Ramachandran. After his graduation, Abishek decided to venture out on his own.
