Design X Social 2020: Life in Lockdown
Zoori
Project Summary
Problem Identified
The current COVID-19 pandemic has rendered most of us helpless when it
comes to procuring groceries and daily essentials. Furthermore, we cannot
quite tell when the situation will go back to normal, if it ever does. In a situation
like this, it has become even more necessary to take care of our own selves and
ensure that we maintain hygiene and all the general guidelines of safety
provided by global health organizations.
In this situation, it has become a necessity to avoid crowding and maintain
distance while shopping for essentials. We decided to aim at solving this precise
problem.
While conducting a study of the users and their consumption behaviours, we
quickly realised that most of our users prefer to pick up their groceries
themselves, rather than have them delivered to their houses. However, this
means that they have to leave their houses and stand in long queues outside the
store to wait their turn and shop.
Design Innovation
‘Zoori’ aims at solving this. A take on the words ‘Zaroori’ and ‘Doori’, the
application aims at giving the customers a chance to shop for essentials while
maintaining a safe distance.
Impact On The Society
With the option of picking your choice of store based on comfort and crowding in
the area, along with selecting a feasible timing and a chat feature to contact your
shopkeeper, the application ensures that the customers have a smooth journey
through the application.
