/ -- Bengaluru-based startup, IamHere has partnered with MangalMurti.com and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) to launch an app-based platform, that will help the Artist community of Maharashtra to sell their products through the platform. For the first time in the country, artists and idol makers will be available on the map, and people can locate the nearest artist, see their work, chat with them and purchase from them - all within the app.
On account of the World Environment Day on June 5th, Mr. Devendra Fadnavis, the Hon. Chief Minister of Maharashtra launched Mangal Murti on IamHere, a collaboration that will allow people to purchase eco-friendly idols for their homes and public spaces, during festivals and other occasions.
Talking about the launch, Naren Kumar, Co-Founder & CEO of IamHere Software Labs, said, "Technology today has done a beautiful job of connecting us with someone across the globe, but it falls short of connecting us with our neighbourhood. Ironically, that is where we spend most of our lives. At IamHere, we are working to solve the problem of hyperlocal discovery and collaboration by bringing together people in the neighbourhood for hobbies, interests and profession. This collaboration with Mangal Murti and the Maharashtra Government takes us one step closer to our vision of solving the 'Near You Now' problem. We currently have 500 artists, and we are targeting to on-board 10K artists across Maharashtra in the next six months."
