IMImobile in the past has introduced some useful mobile services, such as Cell Shakti – a rural initiative that provided voice-based information on weather, health care, and produce rates, as well as educational, and legal information.
Speaking on the launch of My SMS, Founder & CEO of IMImobile, Vishwanath Alluri, said:
“Through My SMS we plan to break the language barrier which has been a huge roadblock for the penetration of the telecom revolution. We want to empower users especially in the rural areas to enjoy the benefits of this revolution in their own language. IMImobile has always been focused towards creating innovative services to empower rural India and help bridge the digital divide. My SMS application can be provided as a white-label application also for telecom operators, device manufacturers, media companies & enterprises. This is the next step towards our Rural Approach after our highly appreciated Cell Shakti service. We plan to bring in more such innovations to help the operators reach the potential user base with maximum satisfaction.”
