The Customer

Tata Power

About The Customer

The customer, Tata Power Limited, is an Indian electric utility company based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It is part of the Tata Group, which was founded in 1919. The company's core business involves generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity. Tata Power is India's largest integrated power company, with an installed electricity generation capacity of 10,577 MW. The company employs over 10,000 individuals. Tata Power established the Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) to empower individuals with employable skills, primarily in the power and associated industries, and to address the skill gap in the Indian Power Industry.

The Challenge

Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) was established to empower individuals with employable skills, primarily in the power and associated industries. The institute aimed to address the skill gap in the Indian Power Industry by offering module training and certification across a broad spectrum of employable skills. However, TPSDI faced a challenge in making its courses accessible to a wider audience, including disadvantaged sections of society and those below the poverty line. The institute needed a platform to provide real-time information about its profile, facilities, leadership team, training hubs, and most importantly, its online courses. The platform also needed to allow students to register for these courses and provide details for upcoming and previous webinars, including registration links and video access.

The Solution

To address this challenge, TPSDI partnered with Hyperlink InfoSystem to create a mobile application that would serve as an online platform for the institute. The app, available on both iOS and Android platforms, was designed to provide all the necessary information about TPSDI, including its profile, contact information, training hubs, and online courses. It also included a feature for students to register for these courses and webinars directly through the app. The app was equipped with a notification system to keep students updated about future courses, webinars, and events. Additionally, the app included a feature for users to view past webinar videos. To manage the app, an admin panel was created where admins could manage users, webinars, courses, training metrics, and notifications. The app was developed using native technology swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, and JSON-based rest API development with PHP & Laravel Framework for the admin panel.

Operational Impact

The creation of the TPSDI app has significantly improved the institute's ability to reach a wider audience and make its courses more accessible. The app's features, including the ability to register for courses and webinars directly, have made it easier for students to engage with the institute's offerings. The notification system has improved communication between the institute and its students, keeping them updated about future courses, webinars, and events. The admin panel has streamlined administrative tasks, making it easier to manage users, webinars, courses, training metrics, and notifications. Overall, the app has enhanced the institute's operational efficiency and effectiveness in delivering its services.
