Content Versions - Make it stand out Our early concept explored the Snapshot API as a solution to capture versions of content. These versions can be scheduled in advance for releasing one-by-one replacing their previous states. However, the drawback of using the existing Snapshot API was that each scheduled version would be immutable and users will not be able to edit them once they were created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/a8d98d30-14cb-41c8-ba2d-1a82464849d6/Screenshot+2022-03-21+at+1.31.22+PM.png Projects -

Some are owners while some of the others are tenants. They either live as nuclear families or with parents and some of them also have children. There are also friends / colleagues who share the space and split the rent. There are people from minority communities such as religious minorities, gender and sexual minorities such as the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, wheelchair users. Admin: There are people who work round the clock to keep this community safe and up and running: security personnels, plumbers, electricians, painters. For them this is their workspace and a source of their livelihood. Come-and-go: These are primarily delivery agents, movers and packers, visitors and guests, doctors, fitness trainers, music teachers. This group also includes the registrars, govt. officers who come for scrutiny and auditing work; bank officials for housing loans etc. This group can also be expanded to include elected representatives from within the community of residents or homeowners. They form the “Housing Association” and control the maintenance etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1615663294070-A8BMZVEZ1Q5FBWP9BIM6/Google+2.png Projects - Google Design Challenge The possible solution, therefore, comes alive at the intersection of these three large groups: the residents, the admin team or supervisors (a part of whom are members of the association) and the employees of the maintenance team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1631469445213-4W66QC84KDN2W4C81JPZ/Google-001.jpg Projects - Google Design Challenge I delved deeper into the As-is scenario in which I found that a lot of residents still have not adopted an app-based approach completely. For instance, when they have an electrical problem, a seepage issue, or a power outage, they use the intercom and speak to the operator who notes down the problem and maintains a manual logbook or an excel sheet. The operator then finds an engineer or technician who is free to visit the site. Another method of notifying is through emails that are sent to the association to report issues. The association then responds to these emails. More often than not, the residents pick up the phone and call up the technician directly as they have their numbers stored. The research also revealed a small percentage of residents who use the apps only for entry approvals for visitors but not so much for issue tracking. They feel the experience is complicated and tedious. These traditional ways of communication and tracking issues cause delays that occur due to the communication gap among the operator, the technician, association and residents. The engineers also end up spending a lot of time answering phone-calls, running to the site and reporting back to the office. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1615663498689-0WYB9XNREMCEB92EW8TJ/Empathy_Map.jpg Projects - Google Design Challenge The findings encouraged me to take the next step - Empathy Mapping for such a resident. What do they hear, see, think and feel, say and do? What are the pain points and opportunities. Some of their recurring problem included the following: They really have to keep aside time for pursuing matters on maintenance Their weekends or some of the weekdays get taken up There is no history maintained for the past complaints, no escalation matrix The admin office is inundated with calls and they don’t get through the line There is almost always a delay in technicians arriving to fix the issues https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1615663810016-ILU6435P6ZFT41VP50UV/Google.jpg Projects - Google Design Challenge Instead of working on personas, I chose to do a few short interviews in parallel of friends and family who use apps or emails or Whatsapp groups to report and track issues. It became evident that based on personality types the hooks for engagement with the app were different. Some of them talked about tracking the Covid violations and the leaderboards that they keep checking. A few of them complained about not having a quick directory for pest control. Some spoke highly of this app called My Gate that allows you to select at one go a bunch of apps and allow permission to send in delivery people, instead of manually approving one by one. ‍♂️ I also got a glimpse of the dark side of the ecosystem in which people who have non-conforming gender behaviour or aren’t married facing biases. During these manual complaints, admin teams and technicians don’t take their complaints seriously and do not prioritise them. It also becomes a breeding ground for corruption where some residents offer extra money to technicians tend to them early on. Language also becomes a barrier - in some cases if the resident and the admin team or technician speak the same mother tongue then they bond better and help each other out. Due to the income / class inequality among the service providers and residents, there is a growing tendency to track and control service providers. Some residents admonish their house keeping staff if they don’t turn up for work, after seeing a notification that they have entered the complex. In addition to that their temperature checks, one-way ratings etc. points at a system that is favours the residents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1615664120990-BB8RHN2GZQZFR3VT9J9S/Idea.jpg Projects - Google Design Challenge The next step was to keep these information as the bedrock and ideate without any filters: anything and everything that can be considered as a solution to this problem statement.

They expect a delightful experience, as they’re used to getting while shopping via retailers like Zara and Asos. Net-a-porter, Farfetch, Neiman Marcus and other such partner channels are crafting immersive digital luxury shopping experiences. Spanning across digital and physical touchpoints, these experiences are fully embedded with compelling content (image, social, and editorial) that are appealing for consumers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1588354130119-TJHG3V6AT0U8II6PSOH8/Slide3a.jpeg Projects - Gucci's New Search Interviews with the E-Comm directors (names changed) helped understand the cultural landscape and nuances of shopping behaviour of customers from different regions. Some of these insights may inspire the new search experience, while some are relevant to the larger discussion on the personalization strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1588354957980-JVADHBF4D0CKX8A67QBU/Slide4b.jpeg Projects - Gucci's New Search - Understanding Search (on-site) Behaviour of Luxury Shoppers: There is a shift noticed in the ‘search behaviour’ of consumers. Traditionally, search engines like Google were the origin for product discovery whereas now consumers are directly using ‘Search’ on the brand’s site. Upon arrival on a website, users spend an average of 10 seconds or less deciding whether or not to remain on the site. In the next 30 seconds, they make a decision on the relevancy of the website’s content and usability of the site. This includes: Scanning images/stories/messages Glance at navigation & categories If this interests them, the natural next step is to type keywords directly into the site search box or drill down through the navigation hoping to discover the product they’re seeking For millennials the search behaviour shows that they are accustomed to results from Google search. On eCommerce sites they expect a similar experience. Some of the common expectations are, Type ahead & suggested search, ability of the site to search for full product descriptions, faceted navigation (rapid filtration of products). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1588355513987-RTDDYZGJOJLSQ162B0YC/Slide5a.jpeg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1588610707441-YTEJKS6D2T1T43W3Z736/clickable_prototype.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search Prototype Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1597999679620-Z17B1NY8AAY7E6QYXB3A/User_Research_Playback.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1588355744493-1UW4JP5X0RUVU4JQ8CAP/Slide8.jpeg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589620732462-5YNIRHRS1UN7OXKG2BQA/Autosuggest_001.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search Here is a breakdown of the basic units of Auto-suggest - the input query by the user and the intelligent responses/suggestions that can give prior visibility of relevant gender, categories and products to the user. The Autosuggest starts with the user typing in the first 2 letters - instead of 3 that’s currently implemented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589626163946-IIHRGCOHGPTKC48M1IMP/Autosuggest_005.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589620881757-D41ZHMBU5HZGNFQC2UDF/Autosuggest_002.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search This improvement to auto-suggest will keep it clean, despite user writing slangs or competitor names. Over and above the auto-suggestions, if the users still choose to write a slang and hit enter, then it's up to them and like most sites, Gucci.com too should show a Search Result Page with the query on top without any censoring. Scenario: User types ‘Shit’. Ignores autosuggest of Shirt, Shorts, and Shoes and still hits enter. Search Result Page heading is Shit and all products that were close matches to the spelling (like shorts, shirts, and shoes) will be on the grid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589622031746-XHWSSLF7L8LCF16CVBXH/Autosuggest_003.png Projects - Gucci's New Search Defined by business (and product count), some suggestions can be boosted to come up before the others. For instance, a Red Gucci Marmont bag makes more sense for business than Red cufflinks. Using contextual boosting, the order in which the Auto-suggest appears can be altered for maximum visibility of a product that is more relevant for business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589622644537-0K6RIP7BSW018MR7HSE4/Autosuggest_004.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589624569882-F7BRGK5AHFTRF919MIEO/Filters_001.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search Cluster 1 Gender influences Shop by Category (thereby also Shop by Products) Shop by Category influences Shop by Products Any selection on Shop by Product does not pre-select Shop by Category or Gender Any selection on Shop by Category does not pre-select Gender Cluster 2 Shop by Line, Color, Material, Product Size accordions do not visibly influence each other - no checkboxes ticked automatically on another accordion if one item in a particular accordion item is selected Shop by Line, Color, Material, Product Size may have multiple options (inside each of them) to select from using multi-select None of these Cluster 2 selection visibly influences Cluster 1 through pre-checked boxes etc. If users start applying filters from Cluster 2 and then goes up to change/add selections in Cluster 1, then all the applied filters in Cluster 2 get refreshed with only those relevant to the new selection of Cluster 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589624700519-W9CXZLY2DDEJEUUU4G4I/Filters_Day_002.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589625750346-O0DO6DG7PZMUMLCPQ3J7/Filters_Day_003.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1589625899467-39UN74233IJKF4G6I4QI/Filters_Day_004.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1588588704340-1OX46V83MGLF5QVPB86S/Catalog_Reduced.jpg Projects - Gucci's New Search Navigation Map https://www.anirban.online/projects/specialdays monthly 0.5 2020-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549335577-4WG4UXHAIYDLMPFJIH0G/1_SPLASH.png Projects - Samsung: Special Days Loading Screen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549437266-20PIMAXFUKT16L6PUHSW/2_Interstitial.png Projects - Samsung: Special Days Home Page with Advertisement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549445080-6DDAEWWZOM5JN10ILWDE/3_HomePage.png Projects - Samsung: Special Days Home Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549426620-7L0S6TQ0G3VN0JKS5K00/4_Multiple-Festivals.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days Multiple Festivals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584554894214-H6PJONX7ZD7X7COMDH0B/mainpage.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549380614-Q1OH0LHA9BZ1JS82OR41/About.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days About Pagee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549387403-FZVCXOG8I551VGUTR5V1/Best_Time.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days Best Time / Auspicious Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549404803-O2128ACWD6GI8FIBJHE1/Events.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549443620-YT26TCPTUK1HO9ZENN4P/My-Special-Days.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days My Special Day Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584549465026-A3NRMC2RBXP2PJMZZWIH/Recipe-List.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days Recipe List Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e554a41b2e16453bec996ee/1584469469331-MLDYV1N2FR3PZMC4FZYL/3.jpg Projects - Samsung: Special Days “Need to do last minute Diwali shopping.
