In a bid to streamline network security solutions, a company with a rich entrepreneurial history has developed the Unified Network Security Gateway. The decision to create this simplified, unified network security solution was inspired by the challenges faced in managing two separate products.

The company's journey began in 2014 with a free Wi-Fi service, offering unlimited data and time without charge. However, this initial venture suffered massive losses, leading the company to shift focus to IT services to cover the losses. Interestingly, it was during this period that the financial sheets of the company turned from red to black.

The company returned to the product space in December 2016, this time with a social Wi-Fi product. Despite being short-lived, lasting only 2.5 months and having 13 installations, the social Wi-Fi product was still profitable. However, the ongoing telecom revolution forced the company to discontinue the service.

Following this, the company was advised to procure a UTM (for security) and AAA product (for guest user management). However, the founders found it difficult to understand the technical differentiation between the two recommended products. The suggestion to procure these products was difficult due to the potential increase in investment by more than double.

Managing two different products on a daily basis was considered complex. This complexity led to the company's decision to work on an All-In-One product, which they termed as the Unified Network Security Gateway, two years later.

The Unified Network Security Gateway was developed to address the complexities of managing multiple network security products. The company's previous experiences influenced this decision, as they had learned the importance of simplicity and efficiency in network security solutions.

Currently, the company is not aggressively seeking funding, but if raised, funds will be used for Research and Development, Intellectual Property, and expanding the sales workforce. The company has served multiple organizations, including Patanjali and Indian Railways, for a year.

Despite the challenges faced, the company's entrepreneurial spirit remains unbroken. They continue to strive for innovation and simplicity in network security solutions, making the Unified Network Security Gateway a testament to their resilience and determination.
