Haater Guru

BACKGROUND

We conceptualized and executed a web based & mobile optimized microsite called “HaaterGuru” (Translation : Guru of the Cattle Market), which basically used crowd sourced information and updates from general people in the cattle market to show real time information about all the major cattle markets of Dhaka, starting from price graphs, live pictures, real time news etc. The other sections of the website had tips, beef recipes for Eid, online quiz etc.
