Every day, creators post content hoping to turn engagement into growth. When a reel goes viral, hundreds of comments start pouring in. People ask for links, prices, and details. These comments are often potential leads, yet many go unanswered because creators cannot respond fast enough.
While studying creator businesses, Prashant Singh noticed this problem repeatedly. He also discovered that most available solutions were designed for larger businesses. Small creators were paying around ₹1,250 per month for software loaded with features they rarely used, even though many only needed one thing: comment-to-DM automation. That gap between what creators needed and what they were paying for became the foundation of ReplyKaro.
A Different Goal During College
Prashant, an Electronics and Telecommunication student at Thakur College of Engineering and Technology in Mumbai, always wanted to build something of his own. While many of his classmates focused on placements, he was more interested in entrepreneurship.
When he graduated in 2025, he was not looking for a job. Instead, he was searching for a meaningful problem to solve. That search would eventually lead him to the creator economy and the opportunity that became ReplyKaro.
The Road to ReplyKaro
Before finding the right idea, Prashant built between 10 and 20 small SaaS products. Most failed to gain traction, but each project taught him valuable lessons.
Over time, he realized that successful businesses are built around recurring problems rather than random ideas. The more he observed creators losing leads because of delayed responses, the more convinced he became that this was a problem worth solving. Instead of building a complicated platform, he focused on creating a simple solution that addressed one specific pain point.
Progress Without Funding
ReplyKaro was designed to be simple. Users only needed to connect their Instagram account, set a keyword, and let the automation handle the rest.
Three months after launch, the platform had reached 295 active creators. Users sent 244,142 direct messages, generated 179,513 link clicks, and gained 64,521 followers through the platform. ReplyKaro also reached 52 paid users and generated ₹15,076 in revenue.
What makes these numbers notable is that the company was built without external funding. Every milestone came from customer adoption and trust.
Building Something Meaningful
One of ReplyKaro's biggest priorities has been account safety. The platform was built around Instagram's operational limits to ensure messages are sent naturally rather than aggressively. The company is Meta verified and has maintained a record of zero user accounts being banned since launch.
Today, ReplyKaro serves users not only in India but also in Germany, Brazil, Italy, and the United States. Looking ahead, Prashant wants to make ReplyKaro a preferred automation platform for creators and agencies while proving that a fresher without funding, connections, or a corporate background can build a real company from scratch.
At its core, ReplyKaro is not just a story about Instagram automation. It is a story about identifying a simple problem, understanding what users truly need, and building a solution that makes their lives easier.
