Thiruvananthapuram, March 6 (IANS) UST Global - the biggest employer of IT professionals in Kerala - Friday launched its mobile-based app for women's safety, ahead of the International Women's Day on March 8.
The app was unveiled by Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala here in the presence of high ranking police officers.
To start with, the app - iSafe - has been rolled out for Thiruvananthapuram City Police and would soon be made available in other cities.
The app is currently available for Android phones and will soon be available on other platforms.
