( CNN ) Most Indian cities are busy with cluttered streets , winding and hidden alleyways -- every postman 's nightmare . Informal structures stand side by side with formal ones making navigation challenging -- even for locals -- and these cities are only going to keep sprawling , fast . By some estimates , the country 's urban population alone will surpass 500-million by 2030 : almost double the entire population of the US . Zippr 's Aditya Vuchi hopes to fix the broken postal format in India 's exploding economy . CNN : Why do you think India needs a service like Zippr ? Aditya Vuchi : Newer localities , newer cities are now coming up much faster than even the postal department is able to keep up with . As a result , large parts of India today do n't have structured addresses . CNN : There are often no building numbers or street names . How will Zippr tackle this ? AV : It solves the problem of explaining your address in a complicated way . We have mobile applications -- Android and IOS -- as well as on the web , where you go on to the app . Point on your map where your home or office is , give all your address information one time including landmarks , and the system generates a Zippr code . That short 8-character unique code can then be shared with others , taking users to an exact location on Google Maps with directions . CNN : More than 80 per cent of India 's population still lives in an offline world of SMS messages and phone calls . How will Zippr reach these potential customers ? AV : Going forward , we 're going to enable finding out an address via SMS channels where you text a Zippr code to a number and get an automatic response back with the full address , as well as directions to get there . CNN : How many people do you think the service has the scope to reach ? AV : The vision that we are chasing at Zippr is to impact a billion lives . We feel that we have a serious shot at making lives so much better in India .
Many major Indian cities have laws regarding exact locations . Zippr is offering a solution for businesses in need of a specific address . The address has a unique code , which will enable the postal service to identify users .
