My Story & Why I Started CouponTak
Hi there! 👋 I'm Deepak Panwar, and I started CouponTak because I was tired of wasting time on expired or fake coupon codes. You know that frustration when you're ready to checkout, try five different codes, and none of them work? Yeah, I've been there too many times.
I'm from Dehradun, Uttarakhand - when I'm not testing coupon codes, you'll find me with my camera capturing the Himalayan landscapes or writing about environmental conservation for local publications.
Why CouponTak is Different:
After working as a tech journalist for over six years at Pahari Patrika, Edu News, and Hindu LIVE, I realized the coupon industry had a trust problem. Most sites just scrape codes from the internet without testing them. That's not how I work.
I personally test every single coupon code before it goes live on CouponTak. I've verified over 50,000 codes in the past 6 years, and honestly, I reject way more than I publish - probably 70% of submitted codes don't make it through my testing because they're expired, fake, or have misleading terms.
Professional Background:
I'm proud to be an Affiliate Ambassador for Cloudways (managed cloud hosting) and Physics Wallah (India's leading EdTech platform). I attended the Click Affiliate Summit 2025 in Mumbai, connecting with industry leaders.
My journalism work has been featured on:
- Pahari Patrika - Tech columnist
- Edu News - EdTech reviewer
- Hindu LIVE - Tech journalist
- Journalist Hunt - Verified profile
- Muck Rack - Professional portfolio
My Promise to You:
I test every code personally. I update deals daily. I don't publish codes that don't work - period. It's not glamorous work, but when I see comments from people who saved ₹500 on groceries or ₹2,000 on hosting because of a code I verified, it makes it all worth it.
Yes, CouponTak earns affiliate commissions (that's how we keep the site free), but I've turned down partnerships with companies offering higher commissions because their products weren't good enough. Your trust is worth more than any paycheck.
Based in Dehradun, I understand Indian shoppers' needs - rupee pricing, GST compliance, Indian payment methods, and IST customer support all matter in my reviews.
What I Bring to the Table
My Track Record
How I Maintain Quality
I don't just promise quality—here's exactly how I deliver it:
- Personal Testing: I personally test every coupon code before it goes live. No automation here.
- Daily Updates: I check codes daily because I know how frustrating expired codes are.
- No Fake Promises: If a code doesn't work, I don't publish it. Simple as that.
- Full Transparency: Yes, I earn commissions when you use affiliate links, but that never influences my testing or recommendations.
