Military

In today's world of conflict and mad scramble for power, where do we draw our line of defense? Coherent planning and execution at the ground level to maximize the efficiency and minimize the loss of human lives is the need of the hour! Thus, as tech savvy citizens of the nation, take this opportunity to inculcate the use of technology and build applications that would transform the way wars are being fought.

E-Commerce

With the advancement in technology, the world of commerce has undergone an ocean of changes and has revolutionized the way we do commerce in real life. The ability to sit at home, browse through millions of products and get them delivered with a click of a button is revolutionary. The software to be used here has to be versatile and highly efficient in order to successfully handle the pressure of electronic commerce.

Tourism

“A traveller sees what he can see, but a tourist sees what he has come to see”. Overriding all the significant sectors of income today is tourism. As it is a major contributor to our funding system, we aim at huge data storage, processing and management. Exploiting the most lethal weapon of modern era, “the codes”, we develop certain software made for our use and which can be customized when and wherever required.

Health Care

What stays with mankind throughout their lives, their life! Health ensures and assures us of our life. Since, healthcare attains such significance in our existence, we seek at improving, developing and maintaining the technologies to surpass all boundaries and constraints, which in turn is a chronicle to our effort at curing ailments and saving lives.

Journalism

Newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, are only these our media? Absolutely not! Social media is not about exploiting technology, rather serving humanity. But there are infinite hindrances to every noble idea in the world. We don’t require a dollop to serve the purpose, instead a businesslike and a concrete one. Spotting, focusing and delivering the right information at the right time, is the kingpin of this business.

Women Safety

It is a matter of concern that we as a society fail at securing not only the interests, but also the basic rights of half and constitution of its full. And now, as educated members of the society, conceiving, developing and rising from the stagnant and inefficient technological and social failures is our responsibility as well as our duty. As “Women Safety” has to be and is our prime concern in all our deliverance's to mankind, we aim at developing applications that will ensure the protection of women.
