🧩 Problem & Opportunity

🧩 Problem & Opportunity

"The city isn’t broken. But the way we work in it is."

"The city isn’t broken. But the way we work in it is."

Bengaluru is the poster child of commute chaos. Long traffic jams, high rentals, rigid co-working plans, and unhealthy food options leave professionals burned out and startups priced out.

Bengaluru is the poster child of commute chaos. Long traffic jams, high rentals, rigid co-working plans, and unhealthy food options leave professionals burned out and startups priced out.

Through conversations and research, I uncovered three core user pain points:

Through conversations and research, I uncovered three core user pain points:

  • Time Lost: 2 hours/day in commute = ~2 full days/month

  • Cost & Inflexibility: ₹6K–₹18K/month for rigid workspace passes

But here's the kicker: No one was fixing it holistically. Everyone either solved co-working or food — never both. SIPPO exists to bring workspaces and food together near the user, not the other way around.

🤯 Fun Fact

🤯 Fun Fact

This project is the most content rich and technically complex(tool wise) project I have ever done. This micro app made use of about 87 variables (including design tokens) and a lot of conditional logic in Figma in order to achieve the awesome micro app that you will experience in this project.


P.S. This micro app is best experienced on an android mobile device.
