The passenger, after being done with the ride asked her auto driver for his QR code, instead of pointing to a sticker of the QR he flips his hand and showed the QR code on the watch’s screensaver. What was supposed to be a normal auto-rickshaw ride turned out to be a interesting discovery where the driver wasn’t using the usual QR code stickers but had it on the screensaver of his watch.

Surprised by this simple yet fantastic idea that will make paying process easy and quick for the passengers, users took to social media to sing their praises. Another auto commuter from Mumbai shared his experience of coming across an auto driver who had the QR scan as the wallpaper of his phone.
‘Optimisation’ & ‘Solving for Users’ are not words only for closed door meetings in high-rise buildings.
Everyone is at it all the time – everyone who wants to ‘grow’.
