Idea: Company culture and engagement

We are working on an app to enhance the ease to access reported content and to allow our internal users to take quick actions on the content reported by our subscribed users. The idea is to simplify the interface for reviewing the reported content and allowing simple one-tap actions to handle the reports. Also, we are simplifying access to food from our office's cafeteria and helping Dinesh Bhaiya keep a track of the orders placed and the amounts paid for each order. The other major piece we are working on is a Video that gives an overview of the features of Gradeup. It will aim at introducing our product to new users and helping them dive in to the basic features offered by us.
Benefits:
1. Handling spam reports will have a cleaner and hassle-free interface.
2. We can order maggi and fruit-chat from our seats without having to move at all. Also, Dinesh Bhaiya can keep a track of the orders and payments.
3. The users can now have a quick video introduction to our app and be familiar with our features with relative ease.

Aloha

Idea: For the Team: Home, About us, Team, Careers page and Newsletter

Aloha (as the name suggests!) unleashes anything and everything about "Gradeup". Be it the "About Us" page or the "Team page", let Aloha become the Brand's Voice. Now that we've put a lot into Gradeup, what does it do to attract Potential Employees? Yes, the Career Page. The story doesn't end here, we think if done effectively, an employee newsletter (monthly) can bring great engagement and be a terrific way to open the lines of communication.

Bots in the name

Idea: Facebook Messenger Bot

1. 2 Billion people use Facebook Messenger every month and more than 53% of them believe that they are most likely to engage with online partners they can message. Keeping this and the interest of our students in mind we are building a messenger bot which will serve as a virtual mentor for students and help them clear their doubts by quick, smart and automated responses and assist them in their exam preparation by directing them to top quality content. Students will also be able to subscribe to relevant and regular content through the bot so that they don't miss out on any important exam related material.
