Founded by International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) alumni Ravneet Singh, Vennela Miryala and Nikhar Agarwal, Bucker serves as an assisting layer over the existing apps on a mobile device.
In its updated version, Bucker, which is now claiming 9,000 users in a span of two months, is providing pro-active assistance. It works in the background recognising users' need and provides a simple pop-up on the screen as a way to access all assistance it can offer in that context. For instance, if a user is having trouble finding a cab due to surge, it compares cabs across Ola, Uber and TaxiForSure, taking into account their offers and surges to give the user the best option.
The app currently integrates with over 15 apps, providing assistance across cab booking, food ordering and mobile recharge. With the latest funds, it plans to support the payroll of its growing team, with people quitting jobs from Flipkart and Microsoft to join them.
"We plan to expand our user base swiftly and have some cool features in the pipeline," co-founder Ravneet Singh said in a statement on Tuesday.
