A group of young boys and girls are proudly demonstrating iFollow, an android application they have developed to promote safety for women.
A woman that has the app installed on her phone can activate it by shaking it three times in quick succession if she is threatened or in some sort of a danger.
This will trigger a voice call to three saved numbers. It can also send a text message to the saved numbers in case the call is unanswered.
One of the developers, Jinsu Mathew, says this is an example of how technology can help solve social problems.
It is a direct response to a series of rape cases reported in India in recent months.
