About

M-commerce is a self-sustaining mobile commerce system that empowers the poor and illiterate to make informed decisions about purchasing daily necessities. Unlike the legacy system, which is inefficient and error-prone, M-commerce will use a user-friendly and innovative mobile interface.

Proposal

  • Understand user needs on the ground and analyze them to develop system requirements.
  • Design and Develop a user-friendly mobile user interface that would enable “Bandhus” and villagers to browse and order goods using mobile phones.
  • Do thorough business analysis of the viability of such a system and provide recommendations to prove long term sustainability.
