It was thursday afternoon, I was sitting in my new office conference room & was engrossed in with some work. Suddenly Dheeraj (our UI lead) peeped into the conference room & handed me a envelope.

I asked him, ‘What’s this?’

He said, ‘I don’t know, someone dropped it at our office!’.

I asked ‘What is it about?’

He smiled & said , ‘It’s someone’s fate (Kismat in Hindi) inside ;-)’

I was like, ‘Whaaat?’

He said, ‘It’s a courier from some university’

I looked at the courier & it was this

Courier from Bharati VidyaPeeth University

I was surprised because the name on the courier was something different & the company name + address was our’s. No one from our team was from this university neither did we hear that person’s name ‘Soni Shernal Vijay’

I was wondering how can this be possible? In a minute, 10 different thoughts were running in my mind, thinking how do we ever find him & hand over this important courier to him as there were no contact details on it for that person.

I suddenly realised, in this world of contacts & connections, InTouchApp can help me find that person! Here’s how:

Last month we launched our redesigned App to playstore (coming soon on iOS) . One of the key feature in the app is ‘Global Search’.

It has 3 sections in it.

1)Local Contacts (Contacts which are on phone)

2)From My Network (Contacts that can be found from my connected network — friend of friends)

3)On InTouchApp (Contacts which are on InTouchApp)

I simply searched the name ‘Shemal Soni’ in Global Search & saw this magic:

InTouchApp Global Search

It showed Meenal Nayata in common. Meenal is an HR at InTouchApp ;-)

I quickly asked everyone to gather in the lobby, shared this story & handed the courier to Meenal.

Handing the document to Meenal & thanking InTouchApp

All got sorted with that smile!

I felt proud of what we are building. It is already helping millions of people worldwide. Thanks to InTouchApp!
