Wonobo ….
Yes, you read it right and spelling is also right... Presumably , most of you wouldn’t have come across this name. Because of obvious reasons- It’s neither in Silicon Valley nor it’s offering mega sales.
Till recently before startup boom, most of the online related business or services were limited to Yahoo, Google, amazon, apple and other big players who have got a plenty of cash to spend money on anything they need unlike the local players. Though there are lot of other competitors to these biggies, the game is one sided. But thanks to the innovative and risk appetite minds taking on existing monopoly mammoths. One such example is Wonobo.
This is the street view service provider for Indian Metro cities similar to Google street view in other countries. For people who are not familiar with this feature - - This service provides recorded 360* view of majority of roads along with the entire infrastructure present over there. This is a great service which would help you to get familiar with the place before you visit it or just explore it out of curiosity.
I came across this service about 2 years ago when it was reported that Google was not given permission to run their google map cars to create street view in India. I have always been wondering why this service is not popular among us though we are tech savvy . we should utilize the native products and appreciate their effort which will enable them to serve us better. After all now it is ‘Make in India’!
Few days back I had emailed to Wonobo
team to enquire about their silent Street view story. Fortunately they have
some big plans to come out with. Hopefully more and more people start using
this and appreciate the technology. All the best @wonobo
