For press
SLX On Air links the screens in cafés, clinics, clubs and hospitals to the phones of the people around them. Every public post plays on the venue’s screen and appears in that neighbourhood’s feed in the SLX On Air app, where anyone can follow the venue. More than 200 screens are live in Delhi, Mumbai and Goa, and the app has been downloaded more than 30,000 times. The app, previously known as Simply Local, has run as a neighbourhood network since 2018. Built in New Delhi by Wabi Tech Pvt Ltd.
