About the Founder

Ganpat Meghwar

Founder & Project Lead — VilloThar

BBA Student · Community Innovator · Technology Enthusiast from Tharparkar

Ganpat Meghwar is the founder of VilloThar, a rural broadband initiative focused on bringing fast, affordable, and reliable internet connectivity to underserved villages of Tharparkar, Sindh.

Born and rooted in the Thar region, Ganpat has firsthand experience of the challenges rural communities face due to digital exclusion — limited access to education, healthcare, economic opportunities, and information. This lived understanding shaped VilloThar not as a conventional telecom project, but as a community-anchored, practical connectivity model designed for real village conditions.

Ganpat is currently studying at Sukkur IBA University, where his academic exposure to business, development, and technology helped formalize VilloThar into a structured, scalable, and funder-ready initiative. The project combines fiber-plus-wireless architecture, solar-powered infrastructure, and a pay-per-use voucher system, enabling villages to access the internet without long-term contracts or high upfront costs.

Rather than relying on spectrum-heavy mobile networks or expensive fiber rollouts, Ganpat designed VilloThar around low-cost unlicensed wireless technologies, local operations, and transparent pricing  making the model economically viable in low-income, dispersed rural settlements.

Ganpat’s work sits at the intersection of technology, development, and community empowerment. His broader interests include digital inclusion, decentralized infrastructure, sustainable energy, and the use of technology to redesign systems for transparency and accessibility.

Through VilloThar, he aims to build not just connectivity, but a digital foundation for learning, healthcare access, livelihoods, and local innovation starting from Tharparkar and expanding to other underserved regions.
