This year's Auto Expo has been pretty exciting to say the least. The Motor Show saw a new venue, new setup, new arrangements and new ways to reach to the people. One step to reach more folks was the launch of the Auto Expo Mobile App.
I used the App personally on my smart phone, I was overwhelmed by the kind of capabilities it brought in terms of information sharing, location maps and more collaboration with the various partners. During the entire course of the Auto Expo, I kept on getting live feed updates directly from the App and while I was covering the expo, I could easily keep myself updated of the schedule for that particular day. Needless to say, the app met tremendous success amongst the masses and here's the official success story of the app.
