So, here we have taken the initiative through our project "LOC FEST". A step to bring smiles to the face of beautiful people. We can solve some problems of the people through our project.
The problem Loc Fest Solves :
• Providing widespread, reach to local artisans such as street hawkers and vendors beyond the confined bylanes of small markets.
• Making their extraordinary handmade craft and skills known to people.
• Providing a safer and cheaper alternative to the factory-made artificial festivity materials.
• Providing access to people to reach out to these artisans and buy their products, in turn, nurturing support for them and going #Vocal For Local and #Aatmanirbhar Bharat
“ Loc Fest ” aims to solve all these problems by creating an E-commerce platform for users where it does not need to search physically for these artisans in the market lanes, and have access to a wide array of these products at the comfort of their homes.
Our platform enlists a wide-ranging festive related goods such as diyas, murtis (idols), festive decoration, candles, etc that are handmade and are produced by these local level artisans.
This is accomplished by:
• Letting all these small-scale artisans to be registered with our network to be able to enlist and sell their product through our website/app
• Providing the end-to-end delivery service just like E-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart, facilitating as a bridge between these small-scale sellers and the interested buyers.
• Letting the Users support these artisans financially also by providing them tip-offs and customer reviews.
Not just Diwali, but our E-commerce platform remains operational all throughout the year, supporting these local artisans by providing them more opportunities to diversify their sales and reach, instead of just a few days of work during profit-making festive seasons.
We ran through many challenges, one of which was to how to implement this idea , and how to create an application and a website in the given time!!
We even wanted to implement google maps API to make the project more interesting, easy to use and better. We did the best we can in the possible time!
