Time for some fun!

We are on a contest spree on Facebook and other channels so our users can have some fun and win themselves gifts and goodies.

Our first was a Photo Contest started on Facebook during the Diwali week. It was nice to see people post photos of their friends and loved ones as we promised to make the day special for them.

Here’s a round of cheers to the winner of our very first photo contest: SANIA JAIN from Japiur. We’re adding INR 1000 to your Mobikwik account that you can use for paying your mobile, landline, electricity, gas & insurance bills. And for all your friends, we’re sending you a cake, sponsored by www.giftxoxo.com. Invite your friends over, and have fun!

We are sad for there was a very close competition between Kunal Mandal’s entry and hers. The girls take it away this time!

Stay tuned for more contests and fun activities :)

The best Recharge App for Android just got better!

Mobikwik has the highest rated Android App for Recharge in the Google Play Store ( with an average rating of 4.5) .  We just made it better by adding Bill Payments to this App. Now pay your landline bills, electricity bills, insurance premiums and Gas bills using the same app.

The updated app supports the following services

1) Landline Bill Payments – Airtel Landline, MTNL Delhi and Tata TeleServices

2) Electricity Bill Payments – BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, NDPL, MSEB Mumbai, Reliance Energy(Mumbai)

3) Insurance Premiums – ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Tata AIG Life Insurance

4) Gas Bill – Mahanagar Gas Limited

The updated App also supports some new banks and debit cards :

1) New Banks  for Netbanking – Axis Bank, Citibank and ICICI bank. With these, now the app supports around 55 banks for netbanking , the largest number of banks supported by any App.

2) New Debit Cards – Maestro Debit Cards and ATM PIN Debit cards including SBI Maestro, Union Bank Debit Cards, Canara Bank Debit Card and Citibank Debit Cards.

Even with all these additions, the app is still very light ( 204 KB) and lightning fast. Don’t believe us  -   Try it for yourself !

The New Mobikwik.com – Fast, Friendly and Secure

Mobikwik.com went live with the new User Interface on 18th Oct 2012. Till today, we got tonnes of emails telling us how much better we look now, how you find Mobikwik more friendly and how it feels more like ‘your very own Mobikwik’. Let us not fly high and also admit that there also were requests for some more revamping. Be assured, we are on them :)

UI changes are interesting; not only do they make us realize how unfriendly we were before (yes yes, we admit it), the initial few days also enlightened what users would really like to see their site as. It makes us happy when we deliver according to your expectations.

You demanded Speed, here’s what we got for you:
On the older Mobikwik, the homepage took 2.25 seconds to load. On the green and blue version : 5 Seconds. #funnystory? NO.These five seconds not only load your homepage, but also EVERY OTHER page you can possibly access on mobikwik.com (like www.mobikwik.com/onthego). We ensure that all images, all content, everything is loaded in these 5 seconds, so YOU NEVER EVER WAIT AGAIN while navigating through mobikwik.com. We are also working on bringing this down to 3 seconds.

We aim at making Mobikwik the Number One website in its domain of recharges. We also understand that the growth of a company relates proportionally to user trust and satisfaction, and trust comes only when you feel secure. We thus focused very strongly on how we can enhance the security levels of our backend systems. Absolutely NO explicit parameter calls. Every call is implicit, making server calls so sophisticated not even The Bond can crack the code! Demand #2: A secure and reliable system, DELIVERED.

A swanky website does not do well till its users find it usable: another key attribute we did not want to miss when designing the new UI. We wanted to keep it simple, and we wanted the user to know what exactly he can do with Mobikwik. We use this green tab to make it stand out: Recharge your mobile phone, or your DTH or your data card. Fill up exactly what you need, and voila! You’re all set :)

Our new design is based on very modern design principles. Therefore, it may seem a bit awkward to some to begin with. If it happens to you, remember one thing – you need to use the site through and through to realize the full scale of what we have done.

Happy Recharging!
