Pakistan is a land of opportunities and talented people. This verity
has again been put to light by techrepreneurs of Eyedeus Labs, a startup
created under a platform of Plan9, Technology incubator out of Lahore.
Every now and then, quite lot groups of dynamic young tech
entrepreneurs come with innovative ideas congregating to invent mobile
apps that are surely willing to change the way of doing business with
the rest of the world.
This time, just a while ago, buzzing out internet and international
media, young group of entrepreneur’s hard work got recognition by CNNN
in visage of Groopic smartphone app that outshined tech environment.
Within just a short span of time and limited resources, Groopic has
been developed by EyeDeus Lab’s team using patent pending technology and
readily, just from its beginning, it grounded its sensation’s flag by
getting coverage over international tech blogs like Gizmodo and
TechCrunch.
Just to enlighten, Groopic is Smartphone app that has solved ever
existed problem of including photographer in a picture in a group photo.
This app caters best in itself enabling you to take a group picture and
put yourself in it. So photographer won’t be out from picture anymore
even without asking help from a stranger or to have a trivet.
Groopic, smartphone app developed to give user an idyllic group photo in just three simple steps that are:
- Simply take two pictures
- Mark the photographer
- Finally, this app will automatically merge these incomplete pictures into one complete group picture.
Talking about this amazing app, Ali Rehan (CEO of Eyedeus Labs) told CNN
about the aspect how internet is bringing an avid shift for most of all
companies operating in Pakistan.
Moreover, Groopic was previously selected for BlackBox connect summer
2013, a two week Silicon Valley immersion program designed for founders
of startups. Definitely, it clearly embraced a feat by our developers
for being one of the eight sponsored teams by Google
.
Other than this credit, further Groopic app achievements are:
- Won Best startup Award at Startup Weekend Lahore in February 2012
- Earned Punjab Information Technology Board(PITB) Plan9 incubation
- Got Runners up Award at P@SHA ICT Awards 2013
- Featured by renowned and leading media property, Techcrunch.
- Currently got prominent coverage by CNN media.
Another endearing aspect of this intriguing app is its now among the
Top 10 Photo & Video Apps on the US AppStore. However, this smart
app could be purchased for Apple devices for 0.99$.
Certainly, considering this app development, it could be concluded
that developers are exploiting best potential to bring a vibrant
revolution in tech environment and this mark has been attained to
greater extent till now as Pakistani app developer community is growing
at its pace and technology giants are in chase of our developers to pick
up with their emerging apps.
But regrettably, apart from this whole sensation, it’s rather
apparent that until attainment of recognition by foreign countries, our
society, particularly local media are likely far behind to appreciate
this budding talent entirely.
Obviously this act someway put a murky effect on creativity of folks, thus this act should get reform at all levels now.
