Randeep Wasal, the CEO and Founder of the company BSociable joins Enterprise Radio. BSociable is an app that is the ideal event planner for family, friends and groups to help simplify their catch ups with an inbuilt calendar, chatroom and map features.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Mobile App Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Randeep Wasal discuss the following:

* Why did you decide to create BSociable?

* What makes you think this app can change social planning?

* How do you plan to go up against the big guys such as Facebook and WhatsApp?

* What kind of impact do you think this app will make on the coming generation?

* What have been some of the successes so far with the development of the app?

In today’s modern world, social media dominates our lives and real, meaningful relationships are becoming lost in the digital world. But change is coming, and the entrepreneurs behind the Bsociable app are at the forefront of that change.

Developed by ethically-minded entrepreneurs, the Bsociable mobile app is being embraced by the younger generations as an alternative to WhatsApp, SMS and Instagram to simplify the way they connect with each other.

Bsociable is not about turning away from technology because let’s face it, technology is a part of our lives. Its relevant and relatable to the Gen Y & Z because it represents a way of simplifying social interactions to catch up with friends and family. It incorporates calendars, maps, messaging and an RSVP function, all in one app.

The Bsociable app has been developed by Randeep Wasal. After 18 years of career success in the corporate world and watching the evolution and impact of social media, he has contributed towards creating a world where technology and meaningful social interactions are balanced for our children, community and their future.

“We use technology to organise and bring people together,” Randeep explains. “But then once we’re together, we put our phones away to connect and create memories with our loved ones and friends. It’s about balance. Identifying when to use technology and when to switch it off.”

The concept of simplifying social interactions is already proving successful. Since its inception in October 2017, Bsociable has generated more than 7,000 users including sports clubs, youth groups using the app. And as discussions continue around the use of social media and privacy, Randeep sees Bsociable as a step in the right direction for the future use of technology.

“This is for real people looking for real connections and wanting to build memories,” he says. “We are a business built on ethics. We want people to feel protected and secure when using our app. We want to give personal space to our users and we respect their boundaries.”

This can all be summed up in Bsociable’s mission statement, which is to “accelerate the transition to a sustainable work life balance.” For more information about the story of Bsociable and how to use the app, visit www.bsociable.com.
