Done with sharing your mobile number everywhere? ‘Doosra’ wants to help

My husband’s female associate uses his account to book cabs in Delhi because of the explicit messages and calls she got from some drivers when she used her own number in the past. For many women, this kind of harassment is common everytime they share their mobile number publicly, be it for a taxi service or for food delivery.

But a service like Doosra, which means second in Hindi, can offer the answer for those who do not wish to share their mobile numbers publicly. “Doosra is simply a virtual mobile number, which can help protect the user’s privacy. Don’t think of us as an app, but more as a secondary number. This virtual number can be shared anywhere instead of your personal number,” Aditya Vuchi, Founder and CEO for Doosra told indianexpress.com.
