IamHere (https://iamhere.app) is a location-based community platform that enables discovery, collaboration and commerce for its users. You can login to the app and get to know people in your neighbourhood, you can collaborate with them over posts, questions and chats; the app also helps you interact with businesses nearby and check out their promotions; IamHere even lets you know about NGOs in your locality and volunteer for them. Neighbours are finding playmates on the IamHere app, they are finding business partners on the app, they are finding local service providers, they are transacting with product sellers, they are hosting events, they are finding jobs. Cafes are able to see an increased footfall after getting on to IamHere, fitness centres are seeing increased enquiries, commerce players are seeing increased sales.
In an extension of the neighbourhood value proposition to communities, IamHere allows users to even create their own public and private communities for their associations, clubs, societies and interest groups. By allowing communities to interact within sub-groups, by offering location-based discovery of members, and by providing a channel for commerce, IamHere is able to offer to communities something unique, something they have always wanted. Aiming to create real-life social exchanges through technology, IamHere is a one-of-its-kind social network that promises to change the way people connect in their neighbourhoods and in their communities.
“Facebook connects us with friends, globally. LinkedIn connects us with professionals, globally. Instagram and Twitter connect us with followers, globally. IamHere connects us with people near us, in our neighbourhoods, in our communities. The Aegis recognition after a tough, neutral evaluation is just a testimonial to the hard work the team at IamHere has put in since our inception,” remarks Naren Kumar, Co-Founder & CEO, IamHere. The half a million users of IamHere should by all means vouch for it!
IamHere is impressing one and all with its innovation and traction. As an app with a 4.5 rating on Play Store, as a special category winner of the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar App challenge, as winner of the Government of Karnataka’s Elevate grants, as winner of Economic Times Emerging Tech Startup award, as winner of AsiaOne award, the Aegis recognition is yet another feather in IamHere’s cap. Research shows that Timing, Team, Product and Business Model are the Top 4 reasons for a startup to succeed. IamHere seems to have got it all right, and through a forward-looking technology platform, the platform is evidently looking to disrupt the communities market, not just in India but globally.
