Hack Day at flipkart

flipkart is a one of the best e-commerce company in India that let’s gives their user a amazing online shopping experience.

But i feel  really sad for people who cannot enjoy online shopping just because of the fact that they don’t have computers,  don’t know how to use computers or don’t have internet connection which is very common in india.

Also people having access to cell  phone is very common in India. So my hack was directed to mobile domain. I had some previous experience with SMS apps so i thought and build something that let’s people search items on flipkart using sms.

Here is what i finally came up with
