Now, one more mobile app ‘imShakti’ for people in distress: The growing insecurity and rising cases of harassment have prompted the tech companies to come out with apps to protect people in distress. The latest in the list is new mobile app imShakti launched by Notion Ink, a technologically adept, innovation driven company. The application once installed can be utilised in emergency situations. On pressing the power button 5 times in quick succession within 2 seconds, imShakti will send users’ location as default message to their listed emergency contact at that time and convey that the user is in need. “Emergency situations won’t give prior notice or hint against a specific gender. It could be women, men, children, senior citizens or patients. In view of the mobile penetration, we contemplated that it would be more relevant to target all mobile users”, said Rohan Shravan, Founder & CEO at Notion Ink. The company said that this instant service can boost one’s confidence with the certainty that timely help is on the way. All you have to do is set a/some emergency contact/s and your phone will send them an Emergency Text Message (SMS) with a preset message. If your phone can find your approximate location, it will be included as part of the Emergency SMS. If your location cannot be found, the Emergency SMS will be sent without your location and the phone will continuously search for your location. When it does find your location, another SMS will be sent with your location details.
