A “Zippr” is a unique eight digit alphanumeric code (like ZPPR2727) assigned to each location on a map. After a user creates a Zippr, that code thence created can be used as a substitute for ones address, which is usable across various platforms (mobile and desktop). It can be shared with friends or vendors to avoid low value conversations around finding an address. Zippr has a webapp as well as a free mobile phone app on the Android and iOS platforms.

History:
Aditya Vuchi, a student of West Virginia University, created Zippr in the month of June 2013 after his return to India. Zippr successfully raised USD $1million in its first round of funding lead by the Indian Angel Network.

Vision:
To impact a billion lives by solving day-to-day address related problems through innovation

Zippr aims to fundamentally change how a number of businesses that rely on addresses and supply chain information operate and scale their operations, also change how people, at a subliminal level think about address communication and further ease their worries about getting to places in the absence of local knowledge. At scale, Zippr hopes to be at the core of communication, used seamlessly in situations without people even thinking about it actively.

Mission:
Transform “What’s your address?” to “What’s your Zippr?”
