In 2012, Entrepreneur Magazine named Farooqui among the Top Business People in India and was included in a list of Entrepreneurs who have created History.[5] Farooqui has also been named as a Youth Icon on India's national TV news channel (Doordarshan)[6] The British High Commission in Delhi announced Farooqui among 50 Indians to its list of young leaders who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and symbolize optimism of the country.[7] {{Infobox person| name = Faisal Farooqui | image = Faisal Farooqui 2013.jpg | birth_date = 23 April | education = Binghamton University, State University of New York | occupation = Entrepreneur, CEO, MouthShut.com | website = [https://www.mouthshut.com MouthShut.com] | footnotes = }} Education and early careerFarooqui obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems and Finance from the State University of New York at Binghamton. While there, he started writing tech-column and later became the Technology Editor of the campus newspaper, Pipe Dream.[8] He was recruited from campus for the telecommunications consulting practice of American Management System, now acquired by CGI Systems, in Fairfax, Virginia. He left to launch MouthShut.com in 2000.[9][10] Business venturesMouthShut.com was founded four years before US-based popular consumer review site Yelp.com. It won "Best Portal Award 2009" at the first edition of the IDMA (India Digital Media Awards) held on 11 March 2010.[11][12] Farooqui received the Manthan Award for Best Youth website in 2006.[13]According to the Economic Times, Farooqui pioneered auto-rickshaw advertising in India by painting the logo of MouthShut.com on the back of the hood of rickshaws in Mumbai in 2001[14][15][16] This was later extended to the entire country.[14] In 2002 he co-founded Zarca Interactive, an enterprise feedback company based in Herndon, Virginia. In 2011, he launched Dealface.com as part of MouthShut.com's offering; it offered daily discount deals on spas, dance classes, health checkups, car service, restaurants.[17] It was the first deal site to offer SMS coupons, thus eliminating the need for paper printouts of coupons.[18] Campaigning for net neutralityFarooqui has been a vocal advocate of net neutrality in India. He has argued that an open Internet is the right way to harness the huge entrepreneurial potential of India. In a CNBC TV18 Debate, he argued against the proponents of preferential Internet.[19] Farooqui argued in an op-ed interview in Times of India that not having net neutrality will result in increased cost of internet access for the average consumer, less competition in the e-commerce space and a slower, more restrictive internet.[20] Farooqui, along with nine other entrepreneurs in India, wrote an open letter to India's TRAI requesting, to issue clear regulations preventing telecom providers or content providers from acting as gate-keepers offering restricted Internet services instead of the open Internet.[21] No Internet ShutdownsHe also petitioned the chief ministers of twelve Indian states imploring them to prohibit the issuance of orders that make Internet services entirely inaccessible for a particular area. The petition was part of an effort by a group of organizations and citizens led by SFLC.in, a Delhi-based not-for-profit organization of which Farooqui is an governing board member.[22] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/newsmaker-faisal-farooqui-115032601198_1.html|title=Newsmaker: Faisal Farooqui|author1=Surabhi Agarwal|date=26 March 2015|work=Business Standard}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Interview: Victory for free-speech campaigners, says section 66A petitioner|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/interview-victory-for-free-speech-campaigners-says-section-66a-petitioner/|work=The Indian Express|date=24 March 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|author1=Avanish Tiwary|title=Section 66A of IT Act: Entire digital ecosystem will take off from here, says MouthShut founder Faisal Farooqui|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/industry/entire-digital-ecosystem-will-take-off-from-here-faisal-farooqui/57177/|work=The Financial Express|date=25 March 2015|ref=FE Section 66A of IT Act}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.mouthshut.com/freedom-of-expression|title=MouthShut Challenges IT Rules in Supreme Court to SafeGuard Freedom of Expression|website=Mouthshut.com|accessdate=19 September 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://entrepreneurindia.in/uncategorized/create-history-1st-anniversary-issue/5604/|title=Create History: 1st Anniversary Issue |website=Entrepreneurindia.in|accessdate=19 September 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOmAWoNfXkk|title=Doordarshan names Faisal Farooqui as Youth Icon (Entrepreneurship)|date=25 March 2014|publisher=YouTube}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Young Leaders Forum Delegation List|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/243705/Young_Leaders_Forum_Delegation_List.xlsx|publisher=Gov.uk|accessdate=25 February 2016}} 8. ^https://www.binghamton.edu/alumni/news/alumni-connect/sep-2014/international-alumnus.html 9. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20051029150704/http://www.expresscomputeronline.com/20051003/technologylife02.shtml ] 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZZq_sVyBfc|title=YouTube|date=|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=2017-03-08}} 11. ^{{cite web|author=Adgully Bureau |url=http://www.adgully.com/exclusive-opinion-that-matters-mouthshut-s-faisal-farooqui-51240.html |title=Exclusive | Opinion, that matters: MouthShut's Faisal Farooqui |website=Adgully.com |date=2012-07-31 |accessdate=2017-03-08}} 12. ^http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/newsmaker-faisal-farooqui-115032601198_1.html 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.mouthshut.com/community/manthan-award.php|title=wins Manthan-AIF Award|date=2006-08-05|website=Mouthshut.com|accessdate=2017-03-08}} 14. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/News_By_Industry/Infotech/Internet__Telecom/Chunnu_Munnu_left_out_as_autos_load_dotcom_ads/articleshow/1795954.cms |title=The Economic Times |publisher=Economictimes.indiatimes.com |date= |accessdate=2017-03-08}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nextbigwhat.com/how-the-auto-rickshaw-may-just-change-your-marketing-budgets-297/ |title=Business Model 101: How the Auto Rickshaw may just change your marketing budgets |website=Nextbigwhat.com |date= |accessdate=2017-03-08}} 16. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/money/1055159/report-dotcoms-discover-a-new-marketing-vehicle |title=Dotcoms discover a new marketing vehicle | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis |website=Dnaindia.com |date=2006-09-25 |accessdate=2017-03-08}} 17. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.afaqs.com/news/story/30510_Now-Mouthshut.com-launches-a-daily-deals-site----Dealface.com |title=Now Mouthshut.com launches a daily deals site -- Dealface.com |website=Afaqs.com |accessdate=2017-03-08}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailydealmedia.com/mouthshut-launches-dealface-com-in-mumbai-india827/ |title=JOSIC - Digital Intelligence |website=Dailydealmedia.com |date= |accessdate=2017-03-08}} 19. ^https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apL942au7Jg 20. ^{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/the-interviews-blog/internet-users-represent-new-india-with-aspirations-and-they-want-net-neutrality-faisal-i-farooqui/ | title=Internet users represent new India with aspirations – and they want net neutrality: Faisal I Farooqui | date=11 May 2015 | newspaper=The Times of India | accessdate=14 January 2019 }} 21. ^http://trai.gov.in/Comments_Data/Others/Letter_of_startup_founders.pdf 22. ^https://internetdemocracy.in/media/organizations-citizens-urge-12-states-cms-to-stop-internet-shutdowns/ External links
