Social Networking Platform Helps Connect with Colleagues with Similar Interests
Business Situation
Employees of an organization usually prefer to see their social networks and contacts outside office and due to little attention to colleagues; the spirit of team-work does not strengthen.
Hence, there is a need of a social platform where the connections of a user are his/her office colleagues so that by bonding with colleagues with shared interests employees would boost the team-spirit in the office.
Hobnobpal is a mobile application developed by LTS for providing a social networking environment for corporate employees to connect with each other and know each other better, strengthening team spirit. This application is available for Android and iOS phones.
