Tanvi charges 500 rupees for an hour session individually and an amount of 300 rupees for an apartment complex. Tanvi started with on-site services as planned for the first year, with a lean set-up. By going to clients’ place ‘in-person’ as a ‘tutor’, she has taught and hand-held 68 seniors, about 25 per cent of whom were paranoid about getting started and connecting to the digital world, by helping them overcome their fear and inhibitions.

She helps elderly people how to use Uber/ola for travel, Swiggy for food, Zoom for meetings, installation of Instagram, Pinterest etc. She earned 28,400 in her first year and says she will give an online service from the third year
