To start the new phase, the company said it is launching 'The App Challenge', giving platform to "budding programmers, developers, students, fans, and professionals to showcase their technical skills, creativity and designing ability."
As part of the challenge, participants will be required to re-design the UI/UX (user interface and user experience) of the Hero Customer App. They will also be required to recommend features to increase engagement on the app. The participants will be judged on two criteria - Interface design and the ease-of-access of existing and new features, the company said.
