Inspiration

Being a college student, I (along with my friends) faced some issues which haven't been dealt with properly till now. So we decided to solve these following issues which we believe almost every college student face.

  1. Wastage of resources like calc, previous sem books, notes etc.
  2. Missing out events (eg. hackathons, seminar etc) both intra and inter-college events. ( Events are important part college life as it helps in recreation and develops personality also. Believe me, no one wants to miss events that interest them.
  3. Lack of proper guidance from seniors, teachers which lead to stress and anxiety and many-a-times suicides.
  4. COVID -19 pandemic : Social gathering in shops and restaurants inside the big college campus.

What it does

Yozznet tries to solve these problems and helps crores students in colleges around the world. It also helps Businesses inside colleges to prosper. Intuitive features of Yozznet:

  1. Buy-Sell-Request section - Connects students from a particular college together and lets them buy, sell, donate or Request (USP) items which they no longer need. Thus solving Resource wastage problem. We even have Lost and Found feature!
  2. Events and Opportunity Section - gives info about the upcoming events from their own college as well as other colleges. Covers both intra as well as inter-college events like hackathon, competitions etc. College clubs can easily conduct webinars, online seminars, online games, competitions etc. in these quarantine times also and let the whole college know at once.
  3. Discussion Board - Students can ask questions, conduct poll about topics they are interested in and want some guidance. Also, they can post "anonymously" about their fears, stress etc and we can connect them with mental health clubs of college. Ask anything, be it which elective to take in next sem or which skill to learn in quarantine.
  4. inCampus Business - In colleges where there are restaurants and shops inside its campus area, we are trying to make them online so that students can directly buy from our platform thus reducing social gathering. This helps both students as well as small businesses inside college campus.

How We built it

We are a great team of passionate developers who wants to have a positive impact on college students life. We built it using Flutter so that it can run both on Android and IOS with the same codebase.

Challenges I ran into

Forming this team itself was a challenge!. I and my brother conducted online workshops using Telegrams and provided students with resources to learn from. We solved their errors and guided them to speed up the learning process. Finally selected some of the most dedicated and promising learners:)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  1. Won Business Plan Competition 2020 at Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
  2. In TOP 10 at 1 Million Seconds Hackathon 2020(all India Level Hackathon) organised by Telangana State, TITA, TSIC and Publishsutra.

PagerDuty use-case

As we are an application-based startup, we can use the power of PagerDuty for monitoring and alerting about the issue and problems we might face. We believe PagerDuty can ease a lot of our work and increase our productivity.

What's next for Yozznet

To take it forward with full enthusiasm as a startup and launch it for every college in India ( and the world later :)
