Story of Seenu


Every evening around 6 pm the streets liven up with hustle and bustle of its daily actors. Teenagers returning after a game of cricket or football, day scholars returning from colleges, scores of professionals returning from office. Each day the commotion continues for about three hours before things quieten again.

It is these evening hours that Seenu, the local phuchka vendor gets to dish out his offerings to people. Now Seenu on good days is kept quite busy by his demanding customers, but even on such days the demand peaks and dies during those three hours.

Seenu has tried to diversify his dishes, has attained expertise in dishing out phuchkas at an appreciable speed, but still there is only so much he can do during the limited time he gets. This is the limitation that he has to tackle every day. The whole day is near zero demand with sales suddenly picking for 2-3 hours where he himself becomes a bottleneck in operations.

Can you help Seenu? Can our local phuchka walas, chat wallas enabled by modern day technology cater to larger set of customers; maybe deliver at their doorsteps and earn more in the process? Is there a way to rationalize demand and optimize their operations?

That should help customers as well as they have to wait less and probably get better customized products.

Your solution can put a smile on face of Seenu and many others. If you are upto the challenge participate in #Bengalathon2018 and drive the #Transformation
