When one thinks of India as a tourism destination, two things come to mind - A) Positively, a great destination with lots of places to visit / great food / amazing diversity with so much to experience; B) Negatively, limited help options and Safety.
As such there are a lot of websites / mobile APPs to help you out with selecting a destination / places to visit and essentially cover the A option. But there is nothing really for Visitors/Tourists to India which could help them move around / look for help when they are in need of it. Also there is nothing to cover the safety aspect in India, which cannot be undermined.
Here comes HelpY – a Mobile APP to take care of the B option and is the 1st of its kind mobile app. This is essentially targeted as the 911 of India as India doesnt have one.
HelpY is a great app and will help tourists coming to India in a lot of ways.
· HelpY includes contact details (email ID/ Phone no / addresses, etc.) for almost everything under the sun which we believe will be useful when one really needs HELP in India.
· Most importantly HelpY works even when one is not connected to the internet - extremely useful as you know India as a country has poor network connectivity as you move out of the city limits.
· Helpy has some unbelievable data that a majority of people don’t even know existed in India.
· Helpy includes information on all the basic services like police / ambulance / other helplines and also essential things like hospitals / bank / forex/ ATM / radio taxis / tour operators / airlines/ embassy etc. etc. etc. and a lot more.
· Helpy list is the biggest and most exhaustive that is available for India. Currently this is 20000+ strong and covers more than 50 cities cum tourist destinations. This list is continuously updated
· AND here comes the most HelpY option for which one will die for. HelpY has an inbuilt Safety feature which on pressing a few buttons (even when phone is locked) starts sending out SOS messages to friends/family with location, ticks off an alarm, sends SMS to Indian Women's helpline, RECORDS VIDEO/AUDIO on activation etc.
· Downloading the app before one arrives in India is advisable as Helpy will keep sending notifications about important events / news related to travel/ tourism within India.
- It is one of the best Helping Apps when travelling to India.
