About Zippr
How many times have you experienced the pain of explaining your address or faced trouble navigating people to your house/office, all those times you had food delivered late or friends turning up late for a dinner or all those calls or messages you had to take or make, frustrating right?
Zippr was born out of the need to simplify this very problem. Zippr is a central location management service that enables users to create and share short codes (Zipprs e.g. ABCD1234) with friends or vendors to avoid low value conversations around finding an address and enables services to reach a customer in a jiffy.
Who are we?
We are a group of motivated individuals from diverse backgrounds looking to solve day-to-day problems people face. With the advent of technology a load of things have gotten simpler and quicker but there are multiple more problems that are yet to be solved, addresses being one among them.
Aditya (Founder and CEO of Zippr) found the need to solve this problem and thus Zippr was born in May 2013 in a small garage office in Hyderabad, India and went live in the form of a mobile app in Dec 2013. Response to the service has been great with people downloading the app and finding new and innovative uses of Zippr!
