In a first-of-its-kind partnership, CoWrks, a shared office space provider, announced a holistic partnership with Truecaller to engage and empower the start-up ecosystem in India.
Start-ups within the CoWrks ecosystem will get early access and added support for Truecaller's portfolio of business solutions, like mobile-number based on-boarding using the Truecaller SDK, solutions to aid discovery and engagement, to last mile delivery and service fulfilment along with digital payments.
Built on the foundation of mobile number-based identities, Truecaller's tools and services will be integrated across community platforms, like the CoWrks connect app, a private social network that enables members to connect with the global CoWrks community and provide visitor login and management with their Truecaller credentials.
"By extending our toolkits to the CoWrks ecosystem, we hope to create an unparalleled environment for innovation among startups and developers to build for mobile platforms. CoWrks embodies the spirit of co-creation and we are proud to have collaborated with them to harness mobile solutions by the community, for the community," said Priyam Bose, ?Director and Head, Worldwide Developer and Startup Relations, Truecaller.
"We strongly believe that technology is the key tool to enhance work productivity. Being a tech first company, our goal has always been to focus our energy to bring in social collaboration and convenience to our members so that they can focus on building businesses rather than spending time on mundane operational processes. This collaboration is testimony of how advanced technologies are building the workplaces of tomorrow," added Nikhil Sud, Chief Technology Officer, CoWrks.
The two entities will collaborate to deeply engage with the start-up community via 'Build for Mobile' product and growth roadshows and mentorship programs, pan-India.
The companies also plan to host expert clinics around key areas of product building, from UX/UI design to product discovery, from customer onboarding to check out experiences, to empower businesses to build locally relevant and sustainable products on digital and mobile platforms.
