The Need for Better Response Medium

It is indeed a unique offering from Vodafone India and further stating why it was introduced, P Balaji, Director, Regulatory, External Affairs and CSR, Vodafone India, said in a statement that the speech and hearing impaired users often faced a challenge when they ordered any service like a fleet cab or a parcel from e-shopping platforms.

The driver / courier by default would call their phone to inform them of the arrival, but they would be unable to respond to it, thereby missing out on accessing several such services.
