Some of the administrative work is done through mobile applications. Several apps, however, suffer from the restriction on the number of participants to partake in a video or voice communication. Other applications have their share of privacy and security complications.
To this end, a Dehradun-based company has launched the Bharat.live app.
The Centre had exhorted Indian tech companies to develop an indigenous and secure substitute for Zoom. It even announced a prize money of Rs 1 crore to the winner, and Bharat.live is a contestant.
Privacy and security are integral to the value system in Bharat.live with an impeccable track record. The company is contemplating ways to scale and strengthen the application. Related:-Â Startup Colleges-A Deliberate Framework for Startups 2020

You can enter any name to join the meeting. You need not log in with personal Facebook or Google. The site does not ask for your email ID.
