Trainman mobile app now available in seven Indian Languages
New Delhi, Aug 18 (NITN): Trainman, the online platform catering to Indian Railway travellers by assisting them with various train related information, has launched a new version of the mobile in seven Indian languages, a release stated.

Users of the Trainman app will now get an option to select Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali and Gujarati language as soon as they download or update the app. 

The feature is available only for android users as of today.

With intelligence built over a base of two crore PNR numbers, Trainman’s core strength lies in its wait-list ticket prediction, with an accuracy of over 90 percent, the release said. 

A one stop shop for all information related to Indian Railways, Trainman enables consumers to check PNR status, seat availability, train schedules at one go.  

With over 4 lakh app downloads, Trainman receives over 2 lakh visits a day across its site and app.

Speaking on the development, Vineet Chirania, Director and CEO – Trainman said, “Language should not be a barrier in accessing information. It is with the intention to address this pain-point that we’ve diversified our mobile app offering across seven Indian languages, namely - Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and now, Marathi. We hope that this diversification will enable us to serve our customer base better, whilst widening our reach."

Trainman has also tied up with Cleartrip to enable customers to book train tickets, in addition to associating with on-demand auto-rickshaw aggregator Jugnoo.  

The tie up with Jugnoo enables passengers to book auto-rickshaws while travelling to and from their respective railway stations, using the Trainman mobile app.
