* *At times he gets confused with the date or the restaurant name which the members in the group have planned and since they were  text messages, he finds it difficult to search and look for the message.*

* *While booking tickets for movies or concerts, it gets difficult to keep a count of the number of people who want to go and who don't want to.*

* *Mumbai*

* *Married*

### *Descriptor*

*Sourav works in a consulting firm where his major role is around networking with different stakeholders.*

### *Goals-*

* *Organized dinner and meet up plan with clients outside office hours*

* *Better way to communicate to share plans for dinner*

### Frustrations-

* He finds it difficult to communicate in messages in the group regarding the dinner plan. Since at times some of the members in the group missed the message and hence aren't aware of the dinner plan.

* He finds it little informal to send details of dinner plans  over  texts

### Brands

Apple, Brooks Brothers

## Based on the context, let's  summarize the pain points faced by Users

* Users  find it difficult to communicate in messages in the group regarding the dinner plan. Since at times some of the members in the group missed the message and hence aren't even aware of the dinner plan.

* At times he gets confused with the date or the restaurant name which the members in the group have planned and since they were  text messages, he finds it difficult to search and look for the message.

* While booking tickets for movies or concerts, it gets difficult to keep a count of the number of people who want to go and who don't want to. This makes it difficult to book the ticket.

* There are different restaurants with the same name and so the user has to be specific with the location name to make it more clear. Sending all these important details over individual text messages makes it unorganized and difficult for users to get the clear data

* He finds it a little informal to send details of dinner plans  over  texts or voice messages when it's a meet up with clients or stakeholders.

## Here are a few proposed solutions to overcome these pain points -

1. To have an option to “MakePlan” inside the group -when a user clicks on that option, he will have the option to select a poll , where he can put poll questions and answer options. He can either enable or disable the poll. He will also have the option to add date and time. He will have an attachment option to add location. There will be a notification when there will be an update on the plan.

2. User can send the info over text but he will have option to pin the conversation, that information will be pinned to the group

3. Users can create an alert message option in the group. On clicking that all other members will get to know it's something important discussion going out.

4. Users can have an option as “PlanOut” - on clicking that, user can add place and add date and share in the group

## **Based on the above solutions, I will prioritize one solution-**

**I will go with the first solution. -”MakePlan” options solve almost the majority of pain points for users. It will help users to segregate their plans and make things a lot more organized. Even other users in the group can also check.**

## **WireFrame for the prioritized solution -**

## PART 2: Just before the launch, your engineer has identified a bug in your product which causes **10% failure** of the payments attempted by users to book an experience. Would you go ahead with the launch?

---

* Let's assume , airbnb has 15000 users monthly, of which if 1500 users face failed payments can be shared with a upi link to make payment again with a discount coupon .

* This will help us to know if users are willing to take up the activity

* Airbnb has a brand name

* A new feature introduced will interest people to try it. This will also help us to track other metrics

Yes, from the above analysis, I would prefer to go ahead with the launch.

```

Google Maps application solves the problem of navigation. A user can use this application to find directions to a particular place. A user can also search and look for options like restaurants,hotels, petrol, attractions,shopping, hospitals, etc.

***Goal*****-**

 We want to improve google maps for women, particularly to ensure their safety.

**\
*Target Customers*-** 

We can have a lot of segments of users under the category of women- 

1. Women age between 15 -24 yrs ,basically high school/college going students.

2. Between 24- 35 who are at their early stage of working career.

3. Women aged between 35 and above till 50 , who are basically the working professionals.

4. And also above 50 , basically the early stage of retirement and seniority.

Since our focus here is to ensure the safety of women from the outside world, 

We will focus basically on women who are college going students and the one who have just started their working career. These segments will prefer exploring new places more and mostly they will travel more.

***Pain Points for these segments*****-**

1. It's a little unsafe and risky for the working women traveling / driving alone at night , returning from work.

2. Group of College students who have gone to a new place and suddenly get stuck in the middle of the way due to some reason. 

3. Women who have just moved to a new city and are trying to explore the new place but might get trapped in some difficulty.

**\
*Some proposed solutions to these pain points :-***

1. Emergency contact - a user can save an emergency contact in the google map - so while traveling at night, if someone falls into any difficulty, they can directly call in that emergency number, also that emergency number will be sent an sms about the location where the user is stuck.

2. It  should be clearly mentioned in the application about the places which are little unsafe or restricted or where there is any construction going on, so that people who are new to that place are aware of it. Also, sometimes few roads are under construction or its very congested, it should be updated in the maps so that users don't take that particular direction.

3. There are different options inside the application like restaurants, hospitals, petrol, hotels. Users can click any one , and they will get a variety of options under a particular heading. Similarly there should be a button for the police/ helpline. On clicking that, users will get different nearby  police stations options and other helpline centers.

***Summarize the prioritize solution-***

Based on the above solutions, I will prioritize the  third solution, since that will be very beneficial for users even if they are in a new place. Implementing this feature will also not be difficult since we already  have similar implementations for different choices like restaurants, hospitals, etc.

4. The reward sections is not appealing and doesn't create any interest to use the app further

5. There is a high impact on cibil score if he misses  payment on time even once.

---

## Here are a few proposed solutions to overcome these pain points -

1. Introducing a new feature in Cred Application of ordering food delivery - Just like CRED Store, users can also order food from different restaurants present at their location and pay using CRED pay and get exclusive discounts on food dishes. A more happening way of using their CRED Coins.

2. The trouble of connecting with a customer care when a payment is stuck- introducing whatsapp chat bot exclusive for customer queries regarding payment gateway/ latest bills/ cred coins available/credit score, to make it easy for the customer to use the app.

3. To get notification when credit utilisation increases- It is advisable that people keep their credit utilisation below 30% to maintain a good credit score. So if they have multiple credit cards, to keep a check on how much money they are using on credit. The user will be notified when credit utilisation has reached the limit of 30 % for individual cards.

## Metrics to measure success

**Metrics to measure the first solution** - Introducing a new feature in Cred Application of ordering food delivery - Just like CRED Store, users can also order food from different restaurants present at their location and pay using CRED pay and get exclusive discounts on food dishes. A more happening way of using their CRED Coins.

* Increase in number of users adding dish in the cart

* Increase in the number of use ordering food from CRED using cred pay

* Increase in use of cred coins

* Increase in new users sign in to CRED

**Metrics to measure the second solution** - Introducing WhatsApp chat bot for customer care service

* Increase in number of users choosing whatsapp chatbot for customer care

* Increase in time spend in WhatsApp chat bot

* Increase in customer satisfaction using WhatsApp chat bot

**Metrics to measure the third solution**-To get notification when credit utilization increases

* 1.Increase in the number is users clicking the notification

* 

2. Increase in number of users navigating to app after clicking the notification

* 

3. Increase in the time spend in the application by the users

* 4.increase in the number of times users checking the credit card transaction and spending in the CRED app

## **Based on the context, let's  summarize the pain points faced by Users**

1. Users find it inconvenient to go through the entire process of ordering food from Swiggy on a daily basis.

2. At times they forget to order food when they are in meetings or back to back calls.

3. Some of their offices don't provide good healthy /tempting food.

4. Sometimes it becomes difficult for them to decide which restaurant and the food to order, and they already have a lot to do on a daily basis.

---

## Here are a few proposed solutions to overcome these pain points -

1. When a user selects food and adds to cart, in the final page before proceeding to make payment, there should be an option for -<do you want to repeat orders> if a user selects yes, then there will be dates he can select and slot/ time On selecting that, the next day for the order he will get a notification and it will be delivered to him right away for those days. He has to make the entire payments  including for the few days he selected, at the beginning itself.

---

2. When a user opens the app , he will have an option as prepare his lunch box meal for a week , user can select different food items from different restaurant for each meal , but each meal has to be specified to one restaurant. he can save it later, all he has to do is to come back to the application and select which meal of the other box meals  he wants to chose today.

3. Users can have an option to add favorite restaurants, so that they can come and select restaurants from favorites. This will ease their process of selecting restaurant

---

## Based on the above solution, I will prioritize one solution

I will go with implementing the second solution where te will have an option as prepare his lunch box meal for a week , user can select different food items from different restaurant for each meal , but each meal has to be specified to one restaurant. he can save it later, all he has to do is to come back to the application and select which meal of the other box meals  he wants to chose today.

This will ease the process of ordering the food following the entire process and the food will be delivered to them at the right time.

**As per the present scenario of Covid, People are preferring to buy groceries and vegetables online which will be delivered to their home rather than going out. So we want to make this application a little convenient for older people as well.**

\
Since there are a lot of features inside the swiggy application like restaurant, instamart, Genie.Lets assume we will focus on Swiggy Instamart

\
Swiggy Instamart is used to order groceries or vegetables online which will be delivered at our home

**\
Let's look at our target audience for this -**

Lets segment customer based on age-

* 0-16yrs- mostly school students, staying with their parents and depending on them

* 17-24 yrs- Mostly college students staying either by themselves or in Hostel or with family

* 25-50- Mostly working professionals

* 

  > 50 -senior citizen , at the early stage of retirement and retired

Since 60 yrs is the ideal age of retirement in India and considering life expectancy of people to be mostly 80, we can assume our segment to fall above 50 yrs age group.

Of which most would be staying with their family and most of them would be staying independently by themselves away from their kids.

Here, we are focussing on people who fall above the 50 yrs age group and staying independently  by themselves.

**\
Let's focus on the Pain Points of our target customer -**

* The quality of vegetables/fruits are not guaranteed online. The way they can see and confirm that these are good quality or not at stores.

* Swiggy shops are hidden. We have no guarantee on the freshness or packaging.They get their groceries from reliable stores and who have a physical aspect or appearance.

* They might feel it's more costly to order, since there will be different delivery charges. And also at some vegetable vendors, they can bargain , they cannot  bargain or nobody to ask if this is a good quality or not

* They are often not familiar with the vegetable's English name, at times they are more familiar with the name of a few vegetables in their native language name.

* Some people don't use this feature because t It doesn't take cash on delivery always, and some people are not accustomed with phone wallet or card payment. Although there is a cash on delivery option, it doesn't work most of the time.

**Looking at the above pain points  of the users, here are a few proposed solutions.**

1. Since People are not able to rely on the quality of vegetables delivered, we can have a feature which can tell the number of  customers who  have already purchased for each vegetable/fruit /grocery. That will create a trust in the minds of customers to purchase  more.

2. We can have a feature in the swiggy app to choose/search for language , which will be just below the search for items box.In that case if a user choses a language, then inside the instamart the vegetables /groceries will be shown with both the names in english and with the native language.

3. Cash on delivery should be a prime focus, we can have cash on delivery options so that it will be convenient for older people to order more.

**Based on the above solution, I will go with one prioritize solution -**

I will go with implementing the second and third point, since that will make it convenient for the customers to prefer this feature, since they can understand the vegetable name. Also cash on delivery  makes the payment process easier for the customer.

Improve the user experience of swiggy app for old people/senior citizens

# **Replicate/Design a french press so that it can be**

* Portable (travel in train/air/car)

* Not Fragile

* Can still make fresh hot black coffee anywhere

A French press is a coffee brewing device. It uses a brewing method called immersion. This type of brewing is a method in which the coffee grounds are immersed in water and left to brew. 

**Let's Look at our target customer-**

There can be a lot of people who drink coffee on a regular basis or the one who drinks occasionally.

1. Active coffee drinkers- they prefer to have  freshly brewed coffee mostly 5 to 6 times a day. 

2. People who travel a lot by profession and prefer having fresh brewed coffee

3. The people who drink coffee on rare occasions. They don't have any specific preference.

Here we will focus on users who are active coffee users and prefer fresh brewed coffee which can be prepared easily without consuming much time. 

We can also consider people  who are active coffee users but have traveled a lot for professional/personal  reasons for which they can't always make coffee at home.

****

**Pain Points for users-** 

1. It is difficult to carry a french press everywhere while traveling by air/car.

2. It is fragile and at risk of breaking.

3. It's difficult to always wash the device after making the coffee.

4. There is also a difficulty to remove the coffee grinds from the device after the coffee is made.

5. A french press/ is not portable.

**Some proposed solutions we can think of for the above pain points-** 

1. We can design a small kind of coffee bag (similar to tea bags), the difference being the hot water has to be poured over,so that it passes through the coffee powder. 

2. A thermos flask of medium size which has a pressing device very similar to french press. The user can pour grind coffee and hot water and press it, they can have the coffee with the cap of flask which will be very similar to the size of a cup.

**Prioritized solution-** 

Both the solutions can solve the issue but I will prefer the first solution.

Since the first solution solves most of the pain points of users, although the method cannot be considered as french press, its rather a drip/pour over. 

**Metrics to measure success-** 

* Number of people using coffee bags

* Number of coffee bags sold in given period of time 

* Increase in consumption of coffee /Increase in Number of users
