VConnect (a product of Mplify Limited) was an online marketplace that helped users hire local professionals for service needs.

History

In 2010, after his inability to find Nigerian local businesses online, Deepankar began to assemble a team that would help collect local SMEs information that can be accessed via a Google-esque local search engine.

He along with his co-founder, Anand Chander Mohan launched Vconnect.com on 8 March 2011. Vconnect was a part of Tolaram Group, which is headquartered in Singapore.
