Mobile users just need to download an application and place requests using GPRS service to book hotel, hire cars or call electricians or plumbers for domestic work.
The service will initially be available in Pune and launched in Mumbai and Delhi at later stages. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Mobikon CEO Samir Khadepaun said, "We are looking at mobile phone users who are busy with their daily schedules and want to access various services but are not aware of the contact points for the same. Using the "Konekt" application developed by us, users can place requests for various services and get their issues addressed within few minutes".
The service as well as the software download are free of cost and any GSM cellphone user having GPRS access can use this facility. The service, as of now, does not have payment gateways and hence will not deal with services that require on-line payment.
"We plan to introduce railway booking, air tickets at a later stage," Khadepaun stated.
