Here’s a thing to chew on: are your social platforms connecting you to new people or just those in your circles? Meet HASH, a revolutionary app that connects you to people you may need, either for play or for business; to possibilities and opportunities that you didn’t know exist within your hyper-local space. Here’s how it works: # Create your own hashtags to start conversations with people around you in real-time, from anything to everything that interests you # Get to know of various discounts and offers tendered by local services within the six-kilometer radius around you. # Break the ice with that girl or boy you are looking at from the corner of your eye Let’s say you’re to heading out for drinks in a new city, but not sure which pub offers the best deal in that area. Simply log in to Hash and get real-time reviews from people at the pub! And what if you need help on a college project, just create a hashtag asking people on your campus help you out using Hash. Say you want to share a taxi from a railway station, create a hashtag, e.g. #ShareTaxiToXYZ and let passengers help themselves by joining you in the cab.

6. A DayWith Hash
To thoroughly explain the app and to completely
understand it’s potential, let us go through a
journey of a HASH user and Non-Hash user.

7. HashGuy v/s OtherGuy
HASH being a Super-flexible feature-rich platform for interaction, powered with use of
geo-fencing and HASHTAG, it can single handedly be utilized for various task.

8. HashGuy goes to a mobile tech summit,
he realizes this would be a good place to
find an IOS Developer.
At a TechSummit
OtherGuy goes to a mobile tech summit,
he realizes this would be a good place to
find an IOS Developer.

9. HashGuy creates a local post on HASH
“Looking for a #IOSDeveloper for a 3
month project”
OtherGuy tweets on Twitter “Looking for a
“Looking for a #IOSDeveloper for a 3
month project”

10. HashGuy gets couple of replies from people
present right there in the summit and meets
them.
OtherGuy gets handful of replies from all
over, and tries to co-ordinate with them.
Since local posts on HASH is geo-fenced, it’s the best way to connect with people
around you. You know people you are interacting are nearby and you can physically
meet them. On other social platform a user can be from any part of the world

11. Meanwhile HashGuy also interacts with
people sharing similar interests. Easily
networking with people around him.
OtherGuy tweets on the predefined
hashtag of the techsummit, buts his
interaction is only limited to that Hashtag.
HASH makes networking easy, you can quickly start talking to people sharing similar
interest. Hashtags literally creates real time chatrooms. You can choose what topic you
want to contribute.

12. At a Mall
HashGuy later goes to a Mall’s food
court for lunch where he sees a cute girl
sitting across.
OtherGuy later goes to a Mall’s food
court for lunch where he sees a cute girl
sitting across.

13. HashGuy checks out people around him
on HASH, strikes conversation with that
girl.
There is no way for OtherGuy to approach
the girl, so he spends time swiping right.
Unlike many dating apps, Hash provides much clearer picture of local proximity of user.
One can choose to be visible only at places of their choice which makes it safe. So next
time a user finds a cute girl/boy in a café, its much easier to approach them. This is not
possible even through popular dating apps like Tinder.

14. HashGuy wants to know if his favorite team’s
latest jersey is available in the Adidas showroom
at the mall, so he connects with Adidas
showroom on HASH
OtherGuy wants to know if his favorite
team’s latest jersey is available in the Adidas
showroom at the mall, so he goes searching
for Adidas showroom.

15. HashGuy is informed on Hash itself about
unavailability of the new jersey.
After all the way walking up to the store
OtherGuy gets to know that the jersey isn’t
available.
HASH is a great medium for users to connect to local services and vice versa. Since the
local services are now dealing with people who are nearby they know they are not
wasting time and addressing right audience. Once local services adopt HASH, it will be
easier for people to locate and interact with them at their comfort.

16. Leavingfrom Mall
While leaving HashGuy creates a Post on
HASH “#ShareACab anyone travelling
from andheri to Kandivali?”.
OtherGuy does not have any alternate app
to find people to share ride with him.
X

17. HashGuy finds a person to share his cab
and split fare.
OtherGuy gets a cab and travels alone.
#ShareARide is one of the many awesome use cases of HASH. There might be people
around you travelling in same direction, but there are no platform for you to interact
with them. Using hashtags broadcasting your needs nearby and reaching right
audience becomes easier.

18. HashyGuy and his friend plan to meet up so
he searches for offers nearby on HASH, finds
a pub offering extended happy hours till 10.
OtherGuy and his friend plan to meet up
so he searches for pubs on Zomato. He
has no idea about offers nearby
Going Outat Evening
HASH provides great medium for pubs, restaurant to broadcast offers. These hashtag
would reach to only people nearby who would actually be the potential audience.

posts order from HASH under
#OrderForTable7
OtherGuy is waiting for the waiters to take
his order.

20. HashGuy sees an hashtag #SongRequest
on HASH run by the pub, and makes song
request about his favorite band
Pink Floyd
While OtherGuy cribs about the DJ not
playing songs from his favorite bands.
HASH can be used by local services to provide innovative services like Food Ordering,
Jukebox, Review/Feedback system etc.

21. Why is HASH Special?

Interest.

23. Is HASHSafe?
• User can choose to be visible or invisible to people around
them.

people around them.

is invisible or out of the local range.
• Users can contribute and interact under Hashtag chats by
even being invisible.

Anonymous Chat.
• Add options to manually select locations and observe
content at the location as a spectator.
• Soon we will launch Hash on IOS.
