Sakhi #CravingToCradle<br />
In an article published by Times of India, it was<br />
stated that women shop 2.2 times more than men.<br />
With out them for the hackathon being e-<br />
commerce for women, the first thing we did was<br />
to go through the flipkart's website and look for<br />
issues that we could solve problems that<br />
concerned women. We observed that though<br />
flipkart had a women's section, they didn't cater<br />
the needs of an expecting mother and that's how<br />
our journey of the hackathon started!<br />
Our proposal was targeted to all those women in<br />
their maternity stages who hardly find any time to<br />
shop offline. Moreover, when a new generation is<br />
being nurtured during nine months of pregnancy,<br />
more prenatal care is required. We wanted to use<br />
Flipkart as a platform to cater their every small<br />
and big needs all throughout their journey.We<br />
created an add-on "Sakhi" to the flipkart's<br />
website.<br />
Sakhi is an online recommendation system that<br />
that creates a personalised store for expecting<br />
mothers by suggesting products across a wide<br />
range of categories like apparels, books, music,<br />
nutrition and cosmetics which can be tailored and<br />
offered at their doorstep. During the user's first<br />
login, Sakhi takes all the information like the<br />
height, waist size, bust size and the month of<br />
pregnancy to keep a track of the user and<br />
customizes her store. This also helps<br />
recommending products at later point of time.<br />
We built a machine learning model for the<br />
recommendation system using collaborative<br />
filtering. For the product data, we scraped various<br />
websites like firstcry and myntra and the entire<br />
website was built and integrated using python<br />
flask framework.<br />
The entire hackathon journey was a great joyful<br />
and learning experience. We were exposed to<br />
many new things as we were building everything<br />
from the scratch. The real joy was then, when our<br />
idea bagged 2 nd prize at the end of the Hackathon.<br />
