The Brief
Where They Started
Paisapod helps first-time savers put away as little as ₹10 a day. Its first app was slow, crashed on older phones and its numbers sometimes disagreed with the bank's.

Paisapod: A Savings App for First-Time Investors

What We Did
How We Built It
We rebuilt the app in React Native over five months, with a new ledger service that records every movement twice and checks itself each night. The design team rewrote every screen in plain words, in six languages.
Our users stopped writing to us about wrong balances. That alone was worth the rebuild.
