NEW DELHI, DELHI, INDIA, July 10, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As students, were you bothered to get the best notes from classmates in college? Being toppers, did your classmates stalk you to get your carefully prepared notes in school and college? Or did you ever frantically search for notes before exams or for a presentation which was due the next day? The practice of sharing notes has been around for hundreds of years and each campus or school has its own stories of ‘solid’ notes. But how convenient it would have been if you had the option of sourcing these ‘very important’ notes on your mobile at a mere cost of Rs 50 or Rs 100, that too from the best minds across India & around globe such as IIT, IIMs, MIT, Stanford, Harvard and many others.

Recently launched App Notesgen is an answer to all notes sourcing students and professionals and can be termed as a marketplace for notes sharing on all subjects. Available on both, website and mobile app, it is enabling students, educators, professionals and even institutions to share their self-prepared notes, typed notes, assignments, presentations, case-studies, blogs, researches, etc. in various categories, and sell them across the globe multiple times. Currently Notesgen offers 14 categories including Engineering and Tech, Law, Arts, Management, IAS, CA/CS, JEE, etc.

Speaking on the idea, Mr. Manak Gulati, founder, Notesgen said, “Notesgen is an idea that culminated from my experiences at schools and colleges. As we constantly used to search for notes from the toppers, which at times was easier, but sometimes became a challenge as they were reluctant to share their hard-work. So gradually, it just struck me that if these students were given a platform where they can share notes against a nominal price, that too, after seeing a preview of the notes, will make lives of the new generation easier. The highlight of the idea was when students from Top Engineering and B-Schools started sharing their notes which are very difficult to source. The quantum of knowledge that is exchanged through this brings new ideas, new learnings across student fraternity and even helps to create a social network. To date, we have received an encouraging response and we are very confident that it will just multiply in the coming years. Soon we are expecting teachers and professors to join and initiate sharing their content too.”

Enclosed below are the key highlights of the company:
