It has been a really interesting month #InsideSocialCops and we are super excited to share it with you — new stories, new experiences, and so much more. Let’s begin! 🚀
What have we been up to lately?
The product team at SocialCops holds innovation close to their heart — so dearly, that it often shows in places one least expects.
More than innovating for fun, we love innovating for impact! That’s why, to make data analysis faster and simpler, we added some new features to our data collection app, Collect. Check it out.
In other news, we got the wonderful chance of meeting the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, as one of India’s #ChampionsOfChange, and we could not be more excited!
