About The Client
The Founder of Desi Needs reached out to build a solution with a problem statement identified specifically for Indians living in the USA. The vision of the founder is to build a mobile app and web app that helps students, working professionals, and the targeted Desi (Indian) community to find services, business information, matrimonial, and job search in the region.
Strategic Planning & Multi-Service Platform Design
After the discovery meeting, we created a structured plan to help the non-tech founder define project goals and scope. We designed a scalable, user-friendly platform integrating multiple services—classifieds, jobs, ride-sharing, matrimony, babysitting, and directories—while ensuring usability and monetization for a growing user base.
Develop a cross-platform mobile app for users
The client aimed to develop an all-in-one classified ad platform where users could post and browse ads across multiple categories. The goal was to create a seamless experience for both ad posters and seekers while monetizing the platform through a subscription-based model. Primarily, the client wanted the platform to:

The platform ensures efficient management of diverse ad types, secure payments, and seamless user experience across categories. It supports privacy in user communication, premium access benefits, large-scale notifications, and a scalable backend, all integrated effortlessly for smooth operation and growth.
