Notary Mama is a unique website in documentation sector which aims to save people's valuable time and money in terms of their documentation services. "The idea came I and my friends were running around the town with agents for our Rental Agreements. We had to go through the tedious process of running around for E-Stamp, Drafting and Notary. And this happened every year when we had to fill our IT submission forms,” says the founder (and director) Gireesh Challa. "I wanted to create a single window service for the documentation and then came our venture Notary Mama," he added.
"We had to understand the system, we first read stamps and registration act then followed by other acts. We created channels where we could get a document notarised in an Hour and developed a vision to deliver the documents at your doorstep. The mission was to serve 1 customer or 100 customers in a day," says Aditya, a co-founder. "We started pasting posters at various locations in Indira Nagar, Thipasandra, Bhima Nagar, HAL and Domlur. We issued 50/- rupees discounted coupons and started with trial and error marketing. It worked, received lot of positive feedback and people wanted this kind of service in Bangalore," adds Prashanth Narayana, a co-founder (and director) who also handles designing and advertising at Notary Mama.
They offer Company Registration Services, Property Documentation Services, Notary Services, Accounting Services, Government Services, Legal Services, Citizen Services and E-Stamps. Along with corporate documents, they offer legal documentation services such as Agreements, Affidavits, Deeds, and Bonds for individual purposes. “We differentiate from our competitors by providing single window platform with home/office delivery options. We personally collect, submit and deliver the documents,” adds Prathap, who takes care of the business operations.
