Penguin India Application

Description

Today, a customer consumes content through any format (books, audio, video etc) and through any device (phones, tablets, PCs, TVs). Penguin India aims to reach out to its customers though this application who is at the end of these devices. The Application will be a tool that provides all relevant information to Penguin book lovers. Information like new releases, best sellers, author profiles, Penguin Classics, Puffin, Business Class, podcasts etc. The users will also receive a sample book every week/fortnight. The sample book can be a best seller, forth coming book, new release etc that will ensure stickiness. The main aim is to communicate personally with the users through this application. As we move along, the application will be made available on all devices including TVs.

What do we deliver?

Roadmap

The roadmap for this project is to build the app on android and BB. Enhance the features of the app, so that the users can listen to audio books, buy and download eBooks, play games, make in-app purchases and buy copies of physical books. From an engagement point of view, we want the user to be close to the authors, and hence are looking to bridge this gap through the app. Author chat sessions, author bios, author videos etc will keep the users engaged. Our long term vision is make this app the go-to destination for all book lovers!!..
