    Roposo founder launches CloseAPP to aid Covid relief

    KOLKATA: Roposo founder Mayank Bhangadia has announced the launch of CloseAPP – a hyperlocal social app to help people across the country as they combat the devastating second wave of Covid-19. The new app will help people to connect with each other virtually and get medical help in real-time. The launch comes at a time when people are increasingly turning to social media to meet their medical emergencies.

    CloseAPP users can seek help by posting their requirements on the app and learn about the availability of Plasma, Oxygen, ICU Beds, Vaccines, and Ventilators around their location. Bhangadia created this app with former colleague Harsha Chhabra, who led product development at Roposo and also founded GoParento. The team was supported by many Covid volunteers in the initiative.

    “During my Covid crisis, I realised that current social networks aren’t as efficient in connecting help seekers with volunteers within one’s neighbourhood, nearby societies, or geo-location. Some posts get viral, but many times the useful resources get exhausted by the time they reach the masses. So, we felt there was a need to create an open, decentralised platform to help people connect hyper-locally with one another and get immediate help,” explained the Roposo founder, who is also building an active community of volunteers and alongside building a robust Technology Team. 

    India set another grim record on Wednesday, after losing as many as 4,529 lives during the last 24 hours. Over 2.67 lakh news cases were recorded across the country, according to the government.

  • ‘Thank Her Everyday’ this International Day

    MUMBAI: Recognising the unparalleled contribution of the lady domestic help, a unique campaign is being run by Roposo on this International Women’s day wherein they urge us to thank our domestic help. Supported by a special hashtag, it is being widely used on the social media platform.

    Roposo, one of India’s favourite fashion social network, is set for another offbeat women’s day celebration. The platform has planned a campaign to acknowledge and honour the unsung female domestic help. This Women’s Day campaign will focus on thanking these women for their invaluable and soulful contributions to all our lives.

    Every Indian household today has a female help to assist with the daily chores and look after the needs of all the family members. These women are the support pillars of our everyday lives but are often not given due credit and gratitude. With the objective to recognise the hard work of these wonderful women in our lives, the fashion network is starting a social media campaign providing everyone with a platform to express their heartfelt gratitude towards these female heroes. Users can upload happy images with their domestic helps with a few humble lines of appreciation, adding #ThankHerEveryday.

    Roposo co-founder and CEO Mayank Bhangadia said, “Women across all strata need to be recognised for their hard work and feat. Female domestic helps form a vital part of our daily routine, and most of us find it difficult to function without them. This year’s Women’s Day campaign is our little effort to get people to recognise the good work of these women. Hope to see a great number of users expressing their gratitude towards their female domestic helps through the platform.”

    Roposo social media manager Ravneet Kaur said, “Female staff in urban Indian homes is not an uncommon sight. I would like to believe that all of us, including our family and friends, treat them in a fair, just and warm manner. However, there are a lot of people who don’t, and what they don’t realise is that these women form the backbone of our daily lives. This Women’s Day campaign is centred around highlighting and thanking these women for their unmatched kindness and hard work.”
