What’s next

Over the next few months, all public utilities and emergency services will start to be linked with Zippr (as the smart address). In addition, our partners in logisticse-commerce, food delivery and others will soon leverage Zippr code integration on their check-out page as an address format. Ready-made methods will allow integration into mobile apps (via our API) or call centers (by verbally communicating a Zippr).

In the next few months, all public utilities and emergency services will start getting linked to Zippr (As smart addresses). In addition, our partners in logistics, E-commerce, food delivery and others, will start integrating Zippr on their check-out pages.

I already have a Zippr code. Can I use it?

Absolutely!. All Zippr codes will work the same way. For Hyderabadis, you will magically start to see more services that accept Zippr going forward because of instant adoption. You can continue to create Zippr codes for your favorite places and get fancy codes as well.

What does this mean for the rest of India?

As a result of Hyderabad’s addresses becoming Smart, many city bodies in India have expressed interest in Zippr’s solution, with the intention to integrate with us. Thus, we’ve already started running pilot projects in various cities.
