in Delhi, many people were not able to climb the stairs to see the interiors of the monument," says Pankaj Manchanda, founder of Augtraveler. He says that self-guidance devices available at monuments tend to be expensive, limited in number or are non-functional.
But launching these apps in a new market like India is challenging and user numbers remain low, founders say. So many of these apps are tying up with museums and art galleries to help them digitise their exhibitions and walking tours. HopOn's offerings can be found at the National Museum in Delhi and the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru cities. Augtraveler has teamed up with government agencies and UNESCO to curate exclusive tours of World Heritage Sites in India on its own app.
