Here are the excerpts: 
 
Q. What is the kind of work Ketto is doing? 
 
Kunal: At Ketto, we believe that a change in mindset is the first step towards solving a problem. Over the past 4.5 years, we have raised over 40 crores for different causes. People are catching up with the idea of crowd funding. Ketto is a reward based platform where if you support a tech company, you get the product as reward and if its a social cause then usually your reward is just the gratification of helping someone out and so on. There is no equity or stake. 
 
Q. How does crowdfunding help start-ups? 
 
Kunal: Crowd funding is great for start-ups. It is basically <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Unlike-Paytm-Vodafones-M-Pesa-is-allowing-you-to-withdraw-cash-using-your-e-wallet/articleshow/55718110.cms">democratisation of capital in a world </a>where very few people control the money. When someone has a great idea, they can ask people to validate it by contributing whatever they can. On Ketto, a bunch of start-ups have raised money and also gone ahead and raised money from VCs and investors because crowd funding is a validation of the fact that their product was viable. 
 
Q3. From acting to running a business; why did you chose to start Ketto? 
​ 
Kunal: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/This-LinkedIn-survey-reveals-that-India-has-the-highest-level-of-sales-and-marketing-collaborations/articleshow/55749887.cms">I’ve always wanted to run a business which was ethical </a>which not only made profits but also gave back to the society. I found crowd funding fascinating while I was working in the social space with NGOs, I found the cost of raising money for causes was very high, going upto 401-50% which I thought was very unfair.The maximum amount of money should go to the cause.
