network and with businesses and share ideas and thoughts on products and services.

services.

and also share their experiences while using the products and services. The users can discuss products
and services by joining groups with similar interests.

also ideas on coming up with new products/services.

The Client - Kjovi
4. • The client required Neev to develop a social multimedia platform that bridges a long felt gap between
brands and businesses on one hand and consumers on the other.
• Enable users review and recommend their favourite products and services to people in their network. The
users would be able to share their experience about a launched or yet-to-be-launched product or service.
• Users could join groups and discuss about the products/services with people having similar interests.

platform would also help generate new product/service ideas.

they endorse and use.
• Focus on swift prototyping and a fast go-to-market strategy.
