Government Infra
Shaping India's Landmark Infrastructure Project
Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a trusted partner, tasked us with developing a next-generation Metro App for India’s Rapid Rail Transport System (RRTS), a landmark 2500 crore INR initiative. They required an innovative solution to enhance user experience, streamline operations, and boost revenue.
NRCTC, BCG’s client, aimed to create a cutting-edge app that maximized user engagement, generated valuable data, and increased revenue from the new RRTS metro stations. The challenge was to design an intuitive user journey that seamlessly guided passengers from station to destination, providing real-time updates and personalized services.

To meet the needs identified, we integrated several innovative features. We implemented a seamless one-click ticketing system powered by UPI, allowing users to purchase tickets quickly and effortlessly. Understanding the importance of monetization, we strategically placed food coupons within the app with dynamic pricing, enhancing revenue generation opportunities.
