Our Story & Leadership

Powering the Next Era of
Live Entertainment & Festivals

Fanloop was founded to liberate event organizers from legacy aggregator monopolies, empower fans with viral UPI referral cashbacks, and protect live music culture with bank-grade cloud infrastructure.

The Genesis

Why We Built Fanloop

As event creators, sound engineers, and festival organizers ourselves, we experienced first-hand how legacy ticketing portals in India charged 10-15% promoter commissions, held payments until weeks after the festival concluded, and left gates vulnerable to fake WhatsApp QR codes.

We built Fanloop from scratch for India's explosive live music era: engineered with 1-tap UPI checkouts, built-in viral referral cashbacks to Google Pay / PhonePe, zero promoter fees, daily direct bank settlements, and offline 5G mesh gate scanning.

Today, Fanloop powers India's biggest music festivals, arena tours, boutique palace retreats, and nightlife circuits across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Goa, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, and beyond.

We never charge monthly fees or per-ticket cuts to organizers. You set your ticket price and keep 100% of your earnings.
