With the onset of the vaccination drive in India, the Government of India has taken a very decisive action of centralising Covid-19 vaccination through the Co-Win portal.

However, being an online service, it is still is out of reach of millions of people who do not have stable internet connection. We aim to build a tool that empowers the common man to book vaccination slots without internet connectivity.

• Soch will bring this population of decentralised offline users to the Co-Win system, to help gauge the reach of the vaccination drive and to regulate the industry to make sure that the common populace doesn't need to resort to black marketers.

• Soch will employ good data practices to make sure sensitive data sent via the solution aren't open to exploitation.

• Soch can be used to make intelligent contact tracing apps and SOS services in the time of this dire pandemic.

• Front-end Android App - React Native and Java
• Communication Network - Bridgefy SDK
• Back-end service - Django Rest Framework, SQL, Redis, Celery
• Backup Communication Channel - SMS via Twilio

• CoWin Public API
