SAN FRANCISCO, and NEW DELHI (PRWEB) January 24, 2018
Celltick, a global leader in mobile discovery and engagement, announced today that it has been chosen by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a leading Mobile Service Provider in India, to power its customer’s Android devices by providing a branded, localized and customized version of Celltick’s Start.
Start is an Android interface that replaces the opening screen of the device and provides users with what they want most when they wake up their phones. With the scope for endless customizations, users get a single-swipe access to their most favorite apps, contacts, social feeds, music, videos content and anything that matters to them the most.
Start is adaptive and is different for every user. Powered by an intelligent back-end that identifies user attributes, it tailors the start screen dynamically to their behavioral trends, making it more personalized. Upon installation, Start becomes the default start screen of the device and provides a range of BSNL services and other applications via the first screen. Start provides an incremental channel for the company’s partners to showcase & promote their customer services, offering enhanced user experience and additional revenue for BSNL.
“This partnership with Celltick allows us to offer our subscribers a much more personalized and interactive start screen on their mobile device that meets their specific individual needs,” said CMD BSNL, Shri Anupam Shrivastav. “BSNL will provide users with local news and weather content, swift access to self-care service, BHIM app, social media feeds, web search, latest videos and on the Start screen.
