Scaling an Emergency Response Initiative with No-code Tools with Vensy Krishna
During India’s COVID surge in April 2021, Vensy Krishna designed an app to respond to the national emergency to connect people in need with scarce resources.
This is just one example of how no-code tools can be used in times of emergency.
